| Bless be this day! Also, I'm always surprised when people say "oh Miura doesn't care about Berserk, he doesn't want to finished it." Why do they say that? It's like they forgot for like 10+ years straight he did nothing but release Berserk on time month after month. He almost killed himself from working too hard. That's why if you look back on Berserk's release history you'll see the dramatic slow down in the last decade. He slowed down and hired himself more assistants. It's hardly a lack of interest, in my opinion. With the shit he's able to draw, I don't mind him taking his time. Even if it's been a year long break, at least he know he was working on something. |

THIS. and make that 25 years to be exact. Not to say that i'm not disappointed that Miura will not be writing new berserk chapters till next March, but hey it's still something that can pass the time. And its Miura we're talking about, so hopefully this scifi mini-series will be an exciting one. Nidhoeggr said: As I suspected, Miura stocked up chapters to release them as a bunch. In my opinion the better alternative to the dreaded "3 chapters, hiatus" schedule he used for the past years. That some of the stock was a totally new series is a suprise, but thankfully one of the pleasant ones. I personally look forward to seeing crazy spaceships and other potential cool stuff that Miura might draw for his little sci-fi series (although I would be a bit happier if these 6 chapters were Berserk chapters). symbv said: kurosaki_kabuto said: Oh yeah, playing IdolM@ster always seem to be a much higher priority for Miura-sensei LOLBecause apparently finishing the best-selling dark fantasy epic he started 24 years ago is not a priority. I know you are joking, but some people actually take this seriously. So here's an explanation for them. And this too. kinda sucked and sick of people insulting the mangakas while people are just sitting on their asses,awaiting for new chapters anyways. *rolls eyes* Hmmm why don't you draw up a manga/comic for a change and do it for at least 20+ years? just saying'... |

Hey...hey...IdolM@aster kicks ass. IdolM@aster jokes aside, I guess this means there will be no new Berserk until what, February? That being said, a new series from Miura - it could be interesting. Togashi's next, hopefully. |
| How great we will get a chapter in Feb-March and then another one next November and so on... And every time the fans will act as if it is actually going somewhere. bbboi90 said: Hmmm why don't you draw up a manga/comic for a change and do it for at least 20+ years? just saying'... Yeah because he is the only mangaka that has a 20+ year old series. Miura has no interest in it even with the excellent story he created. The only reason Berserk isnt canceled is because it still sells. symbv said: ThangLong said: You know what, the reason/excuse that was given in Young Animal when Berserk went missing is always that Miura is on some "research activities".Miura probably ran out of energy after all those years of sticking with Berserk. Thus, he is distracting himself with other activities, either by playing video games (I@ms included) or drawing a new manga. I'm sure he feels missing-out on the chance to draw other settings and stories because his creative life has been consumed by Berserk.. After so many years he has no idea where to go with the story? Talking about some planning.... |

| You seriously underestimate the creative process... Just look at the details, do you serioucly think you can push out 20+ pages every two weeks on this level without getting sick after a while? Berserk's early publications chedule strained Miura to a great degree and witht the details increasing as time goes on I think the monthly schedule (which it is if you count the chapters per year with the exception of last year) is working just fine. People should learn to have some patience. Some series can't be finished in 30 chapters... just like some authors work decades on a single volume. Just view Berserk as your distant, but beloved relative that comes over to a visit every few months. |

Exactly. Not to mention that he probably not only drew his new series but already stocked up a few Berserk chapters in advance. And considering that he has a few months time until Berserk restarts in February/March I am sure we will get more than just three chapters this time. |

Honestly,no matter the reviews about Miura's new work I wont start it until it finishes. 1) He already has a few assistants and hiring additional people is not cheap. 2) His newest work IS finished because it will be published in one go in 6 consecutive releases. Publishing =/= working. 3) Yes, this will probably take 25 more years. So what? One Piece will take 15 more years as well, Conan will probably never end, Ippo passed 1000 chapters with no end in sight and Golgo and Kochikame are still being published and they are a lot older than Berserk. Some Western authors only managed one small book per decade, some never even finished their books in their lifetime (Kafka is a good example). So what? If the quality stays on a high level I'd suggest you learn the meaning of the word patience. You are just as entitled as most ASOIAF fans are when they suggest that GRRM should hurry up and finish the books before he dies - and unlike GRRM Miura is in his 40s. Not to mention that unlike the author of Bastard, Miura and GRRM ARE constantly working on their series. If you can't stand unfinished works you should not start them but then again, if everyone would display such a spoiled attitude these epics (in a literal sense) could never be published because no publisher would invest the needed amount of money for such a long time and the medium would lose tons of great works. |

Both you and I are entitled fans only at different sides.YOu claim that he always has a good reason(with most of them being reasons made by fans not Miura),I claim that he doesnt give a shit anymore. As far as I know GRRM doesnt look like he takes break just to take breaks. As for patience I have MANY publicizing series on hold both manga and LN (add and those that have scanlation problems)and I only fear about Berserk because Miura has given me a reason to. |

Except the manga you mentioned are being published weekly and they advance their stories even if it's by a little. One Piece is supposed to be a long runner until it's conclusion or so the fan claims, and they love the weekly content and the characters so they don't want it to end. Conan and Ippo are not as plot driven as Berserk, fans of both these series are not looking for conclusion and they enjoy the weekly content. If the quality stays on a high level I'd suggest you learn the meaning of the word patience.

Not to mention that unlike the author of Bastard, Miura and GRRM ARE constantly working on their series. What high level of quality? I think it's safe to say that a good portion of the fans claim that Berserk went down hill and it's not quite as good as it used to be in the golden age arc and the few arcs after it, only blind fans can claim the series is still consistent in high quality content. Complaining that is gonna take 25 years for a story to conclude is not being impatient like you are implying, 25 years is a very long time and it's not like Berserk is the best fiction to ever exist, so it needs this time to have a godly epic ending. Stop being a blind fanboy. If you can't stand unfinished works you should not start them I don't think people can predict the future, how can the older fans predict that Miura is gonna be on hiatus?! symbv said: ssjokg said: Precisely, so were you a bit premature to ask "Cant he just take a really big break(year+) and just continue the manga normally after he is done?" and assumed he already had bad planning when he went out for research by taking a break this year?We dont know if it will return normally.We have seen it "return" again after all. Do mangaka in Japan dislike having interviews or letting their fans know of inside details? IMO, Miura should have at least explained to his fans the current situation or gave more details than ''research activities'' or is that the editors and publishers decision? Nobody in this thread knows why Miura doesn't seem to care about his work but my best bet would be what Thanglong said in this thread. ''Miura probably ran out of energy after all those years of sticking with Berserk. Thus, he is distracting himself with other activities, either by playing video games (I@ms included) or drawing a new manga.

They just don't want to disclose the details. To be honest, it may not even be really "research activities". My post about Miura playing IdolM@ster as "research activities" is not purely a joke. In fact thing went so bad for the fans that back in September there was a hoax saying Miura was seriously ill and Berserk would end prematurely and quite a lot of people actually believed it (of course until somebody actually called up the publisher and found out the truth).IMO, Miura should have at least explained to his fans the current situation or gave more details than ''research activities'' or is that the editors and publishers decision? |

As for letting fans know their inside details, I am sure the west has its fair share of reclusive or publicity-shy writers?Do mangaka in Japan dislike having interviews or letting their fans know of inside details? Miura is well-known to be reclusive, and he keeps to himself; however, Skullknight.net(the internet's biggest Berserk community) managed to get a short interview with him a few years back. The full interview can be read here: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=9513.msg166308#msg166308 While there's nothing about the breaks, there is this: Question: Could you describe an average day in your studio? How many hours each day do you work? Answers: I start working at 2:00 PM and I finish at 7:00 AM. Of course, the time I spend eating is included. I work 15-16 hours everyday, without holidays. That aside, Gigantomakhia will begin its run in the November 22nd issue of Young Animal. The schedule looks like this: Issue 1: Nov. 22 Issue 2: Dec. 13 Issue 3: Dec. 27 Issue 4: Jan. 10 Issue 5: Jan. 24 Issue 6: Feb. 14 So, if we're lucky, we'll get Berserk at the end of February. Hopefully. If not, definitely in March. |
| @ssjokg & tsud: Reread the latest arc again. Berserk is progressing faster again after - and I totally agree here - some drawnout parts in the MF chapter. But then again, the dislike about the publication schedule and the dislike of the - imho needed - transition into a more traditional high fantasy setting are the main factors behind this. I think that even with the lighter tones in recent arcs (which was surely the "peak" of fluffy fun Berserk time with Guts and Co., given the upcoming arcs), the handling of the characters and the world building remained largely untouched and stayed on a high level. Aknowledging that seems to be above a few newer fans as - and sadly I noticed that a lot over the course of years - they read Berserk primary for the gore and the rape instead of the character interactions. But seeing as this discussion is probably not only the root for the arguments in this thread, but also largely irrelevant to it I suggest that we use one of the many threads that already exist int he Berserk manga subforum for this. As far as I know GRRM doesnt look like he takes break just to take breaks. Go to his personal blog and you'll find tons of comments about football games, his own movie theatres, signing tours, several anthologies and other projects, etc. To some fans it - just like with Miura and his idolm@ster comments - looked like he was never working and they never stopped pestering him about it. In the end he replied: "Some of you are angry about the miniatures, the swords, the resin busts, the games. You don't want me 'wasting time' on those, or talking about them here. Some of you are angry that I watch football during the fall," the author wrote. "Some of you don't want me attending conventions, teaching workshops, touring and doing promo ... After all, as some of you like to point out in your emails, I am 60 years old and fat, and you don't want me to 'pull a Robert Jordan' on you and deny you your book. OK, I've got the message. You don't want me doing anything except A Song of Ice and Fire. Ever. (Well, maybe it's OK if I take a leak once in a while?)" Source: Guardian (I couldn't find the blog entry anymore...) There is an interesting article about the relation between fans and certain authors that can easily be applied to Miura as well. But as I said, this is getting a bit too offtopic. Also this: Mormegil said: Miura is well-known to be reclusive, and he keeps to himself; however, Skullknight.net(the internet's biggest Berserk community) managed to get a short interview with him a few years back.

Maybe because he... you know... really likes Berserk and just wanted to do a short story? Because he wanted to do something different just for a short while? Lots of other authors wrote oneshots or short series because constantly writing on only one piece of fiction can get very tiring if you don't relax or occupy yourself with other things. As someone who is constantly writing as well I can assure you that almost nobody can sit down and focus 24/7 on one single project over decades. I just greatly dislike that a man who has rather few friends and works constantly 16 hours per day on the things he loves is getting trashtalked constantly because of some "fans". "Fans" that only accept one way of storytelling regardless of quality, "fans" that ridicule him if he actually talks about a game he plays for a few hours max. per month , "fans" that - although he constantly imporved the quality of the art they love - bitch at every news related to it. Maybe it is because I am in a tough creative process as well right now, but it just doesn't sit well with me at all. Just read that interview Mormegil linked. He loves his work and does his best yet nobody here seems to respect that. That's sad. |

I am not saying that he should only focus on Berserk,but the way things go it seems that he stopped caring about it.As I said in another thread I dont mind it being left as it is,but you know since he DOES have other projects he apparently wants to focus on why not end it in any way and just do those?I mean he could just kill off Guts and the rest and make Griffith bring peace to the world....It would be refreshing for him and the fans and it may not require as much effort as Berserk does. The news say that it is a short manga to be serialized.For all we know that 6 chapters manga may turn out to be the prologue/pilot to a new series.It isnt the first time that would happen with a short manga. Maybe because he... you know... really likes Berserk and just wanted to do a short story? Because he wanted to do something different just for a short while? Lots of other authors wrote oneshots or short series because constantly writing on only one piece of fiction can get very tiring if you don't relax or occupy yourself with other things. As someone who is constantly writing as well I can assure you that almost nobody can sit down and focus 24/7 on one single project over decades. I just greatly dislike that a man who has rather few friends and works constantly 16 hours per day on the things he loves is getting trashtalked constantly because of some "fans". "Fans" that only accept one way of storytelling regardless of quality, "fans" that ridicule him if he actually talks about a game he plays for a few hours max. per month , "fans" that - although he constantly imporved the quality of the art they love - bitch at every news related to it. Maybe it is because I am in a tough creative process as well right now, but it just doesn't sit well with me at all. Just read that interview Mormegil linked. He loves his work and does his best yet nobody here seems to respect that. That's sad. very sad indeed. |

Heck, pretty much a lot of comments in most Berserk (and Idolm@ster) related articles I stumble upon online. Miura doesn't deserve this kind of treatment from these so called "fans". People need to show some respect. :/ |

Because.. Storytelling? And because quite obviously a lot of people would mind? You don't sound like much of a fan, if you don't mind him ending the manga in a rushed way and leaving a lot of loose threads.. |

People need to show some respect. :/ He get respect for his work but fans get frustrated when they see all these delays with no ending in sight. It seems like it won't end even if he keep releasing chapters once in a while. That kind of frustration is totally understandable. People read something to enjoy and ending is the most important point, no matter whatever you start. A 1000 chapters regular series won't make you mad because you're a fan and in the end you're getting something with hope to see the ending. It's been about a year since last chapter and until now there was no news about the next release. Everyone knows that he's really talented and he's doing this for 25 years. So why all these breaks? Which led to believe that he lost his interest or doesn't have that kind of passion anymore, but i hope this is all wrong and he really make a proper restart by next year. Oh and Idolm@aster is just a running joke. I don't think anyone use this as insult. |

| It's quite obvious what he spend his time on, Han-yuu: instead of waiting 3 months, releasing 3 chapters and then go back to three months of drawing he just stocked up and releases a bunch of them, starting 22th November. Sure, he should have communicated that but it is obvious he was working the entire time and still is quite dedicated. Unlike Togashi, who even stopped fixing his scribbles in recent volumes or the author of Bastard!! who publishes one chapter every 2 years to then disappear without giving reasons at all. Imho they should just announce a permanent hiatus and let Miura finish an entire arc before publishing these chapters in one go. But then again, the status of Berserk being an active publication might be of importance to the publisher as well. And sadly, the Idolm@ster stuff is taken seriously because most people are dumb and naive. |

Well, I'm quite intrigued to read his next work as well as i hope he stocked up Berserk chapters just like you said. If he can keep up one chapter a month for some good time. I would be really satisfied. |
