Critics Review
“Berserk is known for both its sophisticated artwork and a story that infuses sword fights and supernatural encounters with poignant emotionalism, knotty moral dilemmas and complex themes.”—NPR
Kentaro Miura
Kentaro Miura
Kentaro Miura created his first manga, Miuranger, at age 10, drawing the series for an audience of his classmates. By high school, he had moved into Japan’s dynamic self-publishing (doujinshi) scene. Futanabi, a manga Miura had submitted for admission to art school, was nominated for Best New Author Work in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine. In 1989, Miura began the dark fantasy manga series Berserk, his life’s work, with the Japanese publisher Hakusensha. Adapted into three anime TV series and a series of films, Berserk has sold approximately 60 million copies worldwide. Miura-sensei passed away suddenly in 2021 at the age of 54, leaving a legacy of epic storytelling and a readership that only continues to grow.
Koji Mori
Koji Mori was best friends and an artistic collaborator with Kentaro Miura since they met at age 15 as aspiring manga creators. In high school, the pair even attempted to break into the industry together, with a co-authored manga submitted to Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine. Mori’s first major manga work, the 18-volume Holyland, made its debut in 2000 and was later adapted into live-action TV shows in both Japan and Korea. Following Miura’s passing in 2021, Mori remarked that he would supervise the continuation of Berserk based upon his remembered conversations with Miura on his plans for the manga’s future direction.
Studio Gaga
Studio Gaga is the team of assistants with whom Kentaro Miura worked to create Berserk. The studio currently consists of Kurosaki, Akio Miyaji, Nobuhiro Hirai, Naohide Nagashima, Hideaki Sugimoto, Shunki Fujimoto, and Takumi Yamamoto. With the passing of Miura-sensei in 2021, Studio Gaga is carrying on the story and art of the Berserk saga under the supervision of Koji Mori. Mori remarked that while he gives advice on drafts during the process of making Berserk, the final drawings are the work of Studio Gaga.
