Berserk Deluxe Volume 3

Product Information

The last few chapters is what really worked for me in this volume. Don't get me wrong, the battles are wonderfully drawn, brutal, and work really well. Watching Guts and Casca work together was just amazing. But it really is the fall of Griffith and his decent into madness and Guts rising up to be a person he is proud of. Of bearing his soul to the woman he loves and letting her see him for the first time ever fully. I loved this volume! Besides the sex... there was a lot of sex in this one. Like this is definetly the grosser than the other two volumes. Berserk Volume 3 is Miura finally landing everything right. While the pacing is slower than expected and necessarily wanted, I think this is where Berserk finally finds the proper footing and hits each mark it aims for. Overall an explosive arc that’s equally horrifying and beautiful. It has one of the most satisfying reunions and redemption plots of all time. The plot is interesting and is giving us a small glimpse into the big world that seems to exist within the author's mind. I'm still a bit unsure as to where the overall plot is going. Is it simply us living through the events that occur in Gut's life or is there a bigger plot arc developing?

The art is highly detailed, allowing the reader to understand each little detail both in combat and out without worry of ever being lost. Miura's attention throughout is well deserved and perhaps at his peak with this volume, though he still relies on "evil people are ugly" within the world with one or two exceptions. From stills to combat, it's always clear what's happening and I'm very happy with the direction this series is going. The acclaimed adult fantasy manga now in 7x10 deluxe hardcover editions! The hundred-year war between the kingdoms of Midland and Tudor nears an end as the legendary Band of the Hawk mercenaries, led by the charismatic Griffith and his fearless berserker champion Guts, turn the tide in Midland's favour. But impending victory ignites a secret war within Midland, as those seeking courtly favor see the ambitious Griffith as an obstacle to power. And nothing is more powerful than an enemy unseen] Collects Berserk volumes 7-9. Kentaro Miura's Berserk has reigned in darkness for three decades, creating an international legion of acolytes and inspiring anime TV series and feature films, video and card games, and a phalanx of related products. And now celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, the entire Berserk series is being released in handsome oversized bookshelf editions, each collecting three volumes of the original manga. The first arc is only the tip of the iceberg of a very complex, dark and violent tragedy. If you find yourself to be not too impressed with the first volume, I highly recommend reading until at least volume 4 before deciding if this series is for you or not. The first three volumes serve as an interlude to help prepare you for the atrocities to come and may seem somewhat underwhelming in terms of plot, but believe me when I say the payoff is highly rewarding and memorable.

So I've officially binged the first three of these huge bind-ups within 24 hours, and now I have to wait for the next big collection to come out. Damn. Right when it was getting extra intense!

After a life of grief and trauma, Guts reluctantly joins Griffith on his quest to attain his own kingdom while simultaneously struggling to come to terms with his own identity. We get to see a side of Guts we’ve never experienced up until this point. We see his vulnerability, his wounded soul, his ability to show affection to others, his role as a battle commander, and his blossoming relationships with Casca and Griffith; the two people who end up having the biggest impact on his entire life for very different reasons. I didn't think it was possible but the story is only getting richer, more badass, and more interesting as time goes on. The art is superb - I find myself screenshotting art while reading to use as my phone wallpaper.

Yeah, another Berserks was fantastic. Let's start with bad things, so it is out of the way: not enough demons. I still love the first episodes - I was mesmerized by this dark world full of blood and terrors from the first book. Since then, this Manga series has changed a lot. It has definitely grown up, and we can see the growth of all members of Hawk band, and there is a looming, dark conclusion in the future - we are just waiting for that. Well, maybe in the next book. The Fantasia arc marked another major turning point of the series. If Lost Children and Conviction were the age of darkness, this was the beginning of the age of misguided light. Griffith changed the world in truly remarkable ways, both fascinating and terrible. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan made, ranging from statues and action figures, to key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu ( Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. The author lives in Tokyo, Japan.

Since that time, the Berserk manga has spanned 34 tankōbon with no end in sight. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan-made, ranging from statues, action figures to key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentarou Miura received the second place in the Osamu Tezuka Culture Award of Excellence for Berserk.[1] The main trio of Guts, Griffith and Casca have a very interesting dynamic. And Griffith has an allure that's quite mystical and charismatic. Guts is a severely traumatized vigilante that wanders the world, throwing himself into one battle after another in hopes of finding a meaning in the tremendous suffering he's endured. His sword is his only trusted companion and he's consumed by a lust for vengeance. Griffith is a charismatic mercenary with dreams of ending a hundred year war in hopes of attaining his own kingdom. Little do his comrades and enemies know, he's not the flawless hero many believe him to be. When the paths of these two men clash, the entire world drastically evolves around the earth-shattering conflict between their indomitable wills. And why is Casca's defining characteristic in an entire volume that she's just on her period? To the ridiculous point that even a big bad gorilla villain mentions it to her during an epic battle?Miura inspired me as well and I regard him for being the person who taught me just how influential, meaningful and life changing art and literature can be when I first read his series over a decade ago. He changed the way I view entertainment and taught me how to appreciate the deeper meanings in everything I experience. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?
