After the death of Kentaro Miuravirtually everyone took it for granted that ‘berserk’ would go down in history as his great unfinished work. And yet, his assistants surprised us last year by announcing that they would continue the legendary manga in order to close the Guts story.
Studio Gaga, the team that Miura himself formed with his assistants, is in charge of moving forward with the manga under the supervision of Kouji Mori, also a mangaka. They have already released several chapters of ‘Berserk’ that Miura left ready but to finish, and after a long hiatus now the manga is ready to go back to publication again.
With a return date, but in the air
The future of ‘Berserk’ looks a little brighter And the story progresses little by little. After a few months of hiatus after the last chapters, it has already been confirmed that the next manga chapter will be published next 28th of April.
It has not yet been confirmed how many more chapters will be published in a row and if there is another new hiatus on the horizon, but it has also been established. the release of volume 42 of the manga for September of this yearwith which there will be a minimum for a compilation.
The other big question that remains in the air is how many chapters are pending before reaching the end of ‘Berserk’. The story seems to be slowly approaching its end, but for now neither Studio Gaga nor Mori have wanted to get wet for now, giving an estimated date. Palace things are going slowly, and they already warned at the time that they are going to dedicate to ‘Berserk’ all the time and care that the manga needs to finish it as Miura would have wanted, so it’s time to continue being patient.
In the meantime, it is also time to ask ourselves what happens with the anime of ‘Berserking‘. A few months ago ‘Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition’ was released to retell the trilogy of films in serial format, and it was very well received. After this arc there is plenty of material for more anime, and it would be the perfect time for a studio to start adapting it with the quality that the manga deserves.
