Ok, right at the first page was a shock but I think I can bear with the brutal scenes sometimes.
I want to know more~

I like how Guts keeps getting back up no matter how many times he's knocked down.

Guess it's either I am only used to shounen or this guy is just an evil ass main character. I like how it's depicted and how he lured that guy here and that guy's troups killed everyone, babies included. That was fucked up how he had that child hanging from his weapon and drinking his blood like Soda. Rare to find a person as evil as he appears to be but I guess we don't know too much about him. Got some spoilers on his past life. Thought it was funny as to how he laughed at that elf when he asked why'd he help him out but thought he was a jerk after that. It seemed he cared somewhat because he was like "where are you going?"...or maybe he just wants him around so he could heal him when he wants him to. I'll continue and hope to enjoy more.

When you update your manga list. Chapter 1 = "The Black Swordsman" ?
Or do you wait for 001. "Sword Wind"

Guts is the quintessential bad ass. This was pretty sweet and a lot more detailed than the TV series.

I watched the Anime before reading the Manga and wow is the Manga different. First of all Puck wasn't even in the Anime whatsoever and the Manga has a lot more blood and gore which I like. I can't wait to see the full story of Berserk since the Anime was only a small portion of it.

That first page really caught me off guard, but I'm liking Guts so far, he kills without mercy and that mechanical arm of his is pretty interesting. I'm not too fond of Puck though, but let's see how this'll go, and the art is nice as well.

Making this my first dive into manga , and I am in now way dissapointed! Guts seems like he will be a pretty badass anti-hero to get behind, and the way he has no remorse for the "weaklings" who gets in his way is truly cold blooded!

Puck is hilarious too :)

I prefer the film and Movie for this part, but the only thing that made the difference was the dialogue and the original character of the fairy.

I finally decided to read this. I've heard a lot about this so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I gotta say, not a manga for the feint of heart. The entire chapter was pretty ruthless, but so far I'm interested in Gatts' character. Looking forward to learning more about the reason of his motivations more. Puck.... eh not so much.

Demon-Fucker lolwtf. That's so metal xD

It's about time I start the manga that inspired many enemy designs in my favorite game (Dark Souls ♥). Just look at that Cobra Apostle, looks just like the Sen Fortress Snake guards~

Despite Puck being a dude, his body was a trap and I almost ended up falling in entirely (elves might be genderless for all I know).

Guts' big-ass sword looked as satisfying as ever, making me hear the clang every time it hits~ His Machine Gun Crossbow has a 90% hit rate as well :o

Time to start my journey with Berserk. Usually I'd start with the anime, but I thought I'd start with the manga first for a change. So far, quite dark and impressive artwork from the get-go.
