Berserk would be seinen, but I do agree, compared to something like Gantz which is also seinen, full of women being sexually exploited (but I don't mind it, I love Gantz to death, it's pretty epic). Of course, in manga in general, it's nothing new to make females sex symbols as fan service; Japan is indeed quite a sexist country.

They were supossed to stay in the kitchen, look after the children, please their husband. If anything, strong characters like Caska and Schierke are a testament showing that Miura is not a sexist low-life.

Too true.
