Berserker was one of my gates into the world of Anime & Manga. 5 years ago, when I was at my lowest, I was deeply immersed in the fascinating fantasy world that Miura had created every night until 4 a.m.
It was an escape.
It was a fresh start.
It’s an understatement to say it helped pic.twitter.com/MfIptdmwdv

I always say, “Berserk helped me through the worst time of my life,” and that’s not an exaggeration
Since I was in a shitty, abusive relationship and at a dead end, I didn’t know things could be better
but every slow, torturous step forward was still a step forward
Thank you, Miura-sensei pic.twitter.com/RApN2nvv8j

For any berserk fan who feels lost, sad, disappointed, betrayed, or whatever, remember that your feelings are natural. Berserk has been a huge investment for so many people. It’s okay to feel disappointed, but remember to separate fiction from reality. A man just died.

The following happened when I met Mr. Miura at a party organized by Hakusensha Publishing some time ago:
– “Oh, it’s the right hand that produces berserkers …!”
The author then explains:
– “No, Mr. Miura is left-handed”.

Kentaro Miura dropped medieval Gothic masterpieces as tablets in Berserk like it was nothing. Perhaps the closest it came to Dante’s illustrations for Dante’s Inferno was the Manga. pic.twitter.com/8A9fNTQxZl

Kentaro Miura used medieval Gothic masterpieces as a working tool in Berserk as if nothing had happened. It is perhaps the manga that comes closest to Gustave Doré’s illustrations for Dante’s Hell.
