Berserk Volume 41

Truly the end of an era. R.I.P. Kentaro Miura.

My personal Berserk odyssey began in late 2018; while I haven't been on this journey for as long as many of you have, I did devour the series at a reading rate that's unprecedented for me. In 2021 alone I've read twenty volumes! Kentaro Miura is now my most read author by far and I'll always wear that like a badge of honor because his body of work is absolutely exceptional. It made me fall in love with manga wholly and completely, and has me desperately seeking out another series to scratch my Berserk itch. Suggestions would be lovely?

Just to quickly weigh in on the whole “will they or won't they” debate about finishing up the series down the line: I, for one, think they should go for it. If it's true that Kentaro Miura left behind notes and trained apprentices in his style, then I think it's clear that that's what he wanted, which is the most important thing here. If he left behind the tools needed to finish such a culturally important story, then his life's work deserves the chance to be completed in a way that honors his legacy. Or maybe I'm just a selfish fanboy, I dunno. I just know that this reader's heart is desperate to see this story through to the very end.
