Berserk Volume 42 Honors Late Creator Kentaro Miura
After manga artist Kentaro Miura passed away in 2021, the future of his epic dark fantasy series Berserk looked uncertain. Fortunately, publisher Hakusensha and Miura's lifelong friend Kouji Mori announced that Berserk would continue, and the first trade English paperback from Dark Horse Manga is now available to preorder. While it won't be out for a while, you can get Berserk Volume 42 for $15 at Amazon ahead of its March 2025 release.
Berserk Manga Volume 42
$15
Illustrated by Studio Gaga under the supervision of Mori--who is an established manga creator--the 192-page volume continues the Fantasia Arc of Berserk. After Schierke and Farnese battled endless horrors to reach the dark secret that imprisoned Casca's mind since the events of the Invocation of Doom, things have taken a turn for the better. Casca has reclaimed her sanity and Guts has found a small sliver of hope, but the sudden appearance of Griffith overshadows that small victory. With Elf Island under siege from an army of beasts, Guts and his companions will have to make some hard choices if they seek to escape to the ocean.
The story of Berserk's continuation is an interesting one, as prior to Miura's death, Mori was entrusted with plans and thoughts from the Berserk creator himself. With additional material like memorandums and character designs left behind by Miura--as well as the secret of how Miura intended to end Berserk--Mori agreed to continue the series and promised: "I will only write the episodes that Miura talked to me about. I will not flesh it out. I will not write episodes that I don't remember clearly. I will only write the lines and stories that Miura described to me."
