Summary
He is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a warrior of legendary prowess – relentless, fearless, merciless. As cold and brutal as the iron of the massive sword he wields. Bent on revenge against the unholy forces that have branded him for sacrifice, but especially on Griffith, one of the demon lords of the Godhand. But Griffith was once a man, the leader of the Hawks, a renowned cadre of elite fighters with a young Guts as its fiercest champion. Though forged in a crucible of cruelty and violence, nothing could prepare Guts for a confrontation with Nosferatu Zodd, a superhuman beast who slaughters Guts’ comrades as easily as a scythe cuts wheat. Even Guts and Griffith are no match for the abomination’s power…but something Griffith wears around his neck may well be

Kentaro Miura
Kentaro Miura debuted Berserk Prototype, a 48-page manga and introduction to the Berserk fantasy world, in 1988 while attending Nihon University. The work won him a prize from the Comi Manga School. After receiving his doctorate in 1989, Miura began King of Wolves, a project based on a script by Buronson, writer of Hokuto no Ken (Fist Of The North Star).
The first volume of Berserk was released in 1990, meeting with limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson on the manga Japan. Miura’s fame grew significantly after Berserk’s “The Golden Age” story arc. The immense success of this masterpiece established him as one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists.
In 1997, Miura supervised the production of 25 anime episodes of Berserk, which aired that same year on NTV. The series has since spawned a wide array of merchandise, from statues and action figures to 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.
