Summary
Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme—violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny—and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter—and offers none.

Kentaro Miura
Kentaro Miura debuted his manga Berserk Prototype in 1988 while attending Nihon University. This 48-page work served as an introduction to the fantasy world of Berserk and earned Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. After receiving his doctorate in 1989, Miura began work on King of Wolves, a project based on a script by Buronson, the writer of Fist of the North Star.
In 1990, the first volume of Berserk was released, achieving moderate success. Miura collaborated with Buronson again on the manga Japan. Miura’s popularity surged with the “Golden Age” story arc of Berserk. The immense success of this masterpiece established him as one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists.
In 1997, Miura oversaw the production of 25 anime episodes of Berserk, which aired that same year on NTV. The series has since inspired a wide range of merchandise, including statues, action figures, key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received second place in the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. He resides in Tokyo, Japan.
