Berserk is a dark fantasy series that follows Guts, a former mercenary on a quest for revenge. If you’re willing to take the dive, you’ll find a haunting and tragic story for mature audiences, as it holds nothing back and regularly delivers brutal content on every page.

Each elegantly designed hardcover volume is made of durable leatherette and contains three individual volumes reprinted in oversized format. They are shrink-wrapped when purchased in new condition. These hardcovers are roughly 700 pages each, so they can take up considerable shelf space.

Miura’s final contributions to Berserk were collected in Deluxe Edition Vol. 14the only Deluxe release that doesn’t include three individual volumes. Instead, the newest Deluxe Edition pairs Volumes 40 and 41 with the Berserk Official Guidebook, which helps contextualize your reading experience with background information and expanded lore. The guidebook is also sold separately in paperback for $11.30 (was $15).
