Berserk: French fans will be delighted
A true masterpiece of dark fantasy, Kentarō Miura's Berserk is one of the most acclaimed manga of all time. The ultimate reference for many seinen readers, it has influenced many works, including the video games of Hidetaka Miyazaki – a great reader of the manga – who has made numerous references to Guts' adventures in both the Dark Souls saga and in Elden Ring. While Kentarō Miura's death in May 2021 came as a shock to fans, the takeover of the manga by his best friend Kōji Mori and the Gaga studio promises to deliver the conclusion that this black diamond deserves.
Just a few months after publishing volume 42 of Berserk, the first directed by the manga's new screenwriter, Glénat Manga has just made a big announcement on the social network X. Indeed, the historic French publisher of the manga revealed earlier in the week its desire to publish the Prestige edition of the manga Berserk as early as 2025. Each volume of this new edition will be the equivalent of two volumes in the classic format. The first two are scheduled for June 2025. Excellent news, which will certainly delight the many French fans of Berserk!
