Wonder why this hasnīt been done before...oh well.
Berserk is Kentaru Miuraīs ongoing dark fantasy manga masterpiece. With over 29 million volumes sold (according to wikipedia) itīs one of the most succesful adult mangas ever. It focuses around the life of Guts (or gatz/gattsu, depending on the translator), a huge man (and you better take that literally) who was born from the corpse of his dead mother. As you can tell, guts was born struggling, and struggle he will, as he most face battalions of monsters and demons to reach his ultimate goal. As a struggler, he can even go against the laws of Causality (destiny in this manga). Guts, is at times a hero, and at others an antihero by doing things that most ĻsaneĻ people wouldnīt even dream about. The topics this manga offers are as simple as death and as complex as the meaning of life (Hate, revenge, happiness, love, sorrow, philosofy, etc.). Berserk is an example of manga perfection, and the only reason you shouldnīt read it is a weak stomach.
A anime series was released in 1997 consisting of 25 episodes but was later removed due to itīs graphic nature.
