| Who’s gonna continue his work and how is the berserk’s ending will look like? Thoughts? |

| The passing of Kentaro Miura reminds me of Guin Saga, another generation-defining fantasy work. Its author, Kaoru Kurimoto, passed away in 2009 at the age of 56. Other authors continued Guin Saga in her stead. Regardless of what happens to Berserk, its legacy will be remembered source https://twitter.com/frog_kun/status/1395227180536274946 |

| Realistically, he was training his assistants to help with the work so there is a possibility that it could be continued. Basically it is possible but keep your expectations within the bounds of reality. |

| Realistically if it has any real chances of finishing I doubt its going to be anytime soon. All hopes riding on if any notes/rough draft for an ending exist. |

| I read that him and his assistants were really close, like a family.....The family and the editorial department will decide together and whatever they decide will be the right decision... In this case I wouldn't be surprised if they pull through somehow..... |

| I understand the argument for his assistants to finish the manga, but honestly I think it should be left as is. If continued, I feel that it will be really hard to execute the ending Miura had in mind. I don't know if his assistants, or anybody for that matter, will be able to capture the feeling that the original mangaka wanted to convey to the readers. I felt the same way when Christopher Tolkien continued JRR Tolkien's work, and that was his own son. I would be fine if his assistants created a "Berserk 2" of sorts, a nominally separate work that is a continuation of the original, carried out with the assistants own vision plus the Miura's notes. That way, the original ended on chapter 363, and the successor will conclude the epic. |

| The fact that we may never gonna get to see such a beautiful series as berserk properly get an ending is pretty upsetting, but an understandable one nonetheless. |

| Let the people mourn instead of automatically finding a way to capitalize off such a tragedy. I could care less about ‘if’ Berserk ends, I pray they don’t do anything reckless to please the fans and squander Miura’s legacy. |

He's been working on this series for decades, people consider this as a masterpiece. And you'd think people would expect an ending that would end leave it as a masterpiece. Which I think Miura couldn't accomplished, his health issues didn't helped him either unfortunately. |

| I hope we at least get what he wanted the ending to be like. Like some nots or something. Idk if I want the assistants to end the manga as we know 100% they arent as skilled as Miura |

| Oh man, this news really devastated. No word can express my sadness now. Rest In Peace sensei. I hope they pick up what he left and continue his work. This manga need a closure for sure. Once again, Rest In Peace sensei. |

| Idk how they should handle this series from now on. I feel like nothing can satisfy the high standards Miura always set for himself and therefore a continuation by other Mangakas would probably feel off. I really can't tell, since I haven't read Berserk yet, but will definitely do in the future. However, maybe they should just put together some final chapters and let the overall ending be open. But we will see. RIP to a Legend |

| Fujiwara Cocoa (Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita.): Series was left unfinished after her passing Nakazawa Keiji (Barefoot Gen): Series was left unfinished after his passing Ishikawa Ken (Getter Robo): Series was left unfinished, but a spinoff was published based on his leftover notes, and the series itself had a reboot recently Tada Karou (Itazura na Kiss): Manga was left unfinished, but her husband shared her notes on the ending with the anime production Osamu Tezuka (Hi no Tori): Series was left unfinished Fujiko Fujio (Doraemon): Series left unfinished, but other spinoffs were published Usui Yoshito (Crayon Shin-chan): His assistants eventually launched a sequel, Shin Crayon Shin-chan Manga is very tied to the creator with both distinctive writing and art styles, so most series are left unfinished. Unless he left some notes on how he would have concluded the story, we might never get an ending. Damn this hurts... |

Which I think Miura couldn't accomplished, his health issues didn't helped him either unfortunately. I actually strongly agree with writer's block. I too meme'd about Idol Master, but in reality I think he was having some issues with how to approach the final arcs, and the direction he wanted Berserk to go. And having seen how TPN/AOT went (the most recent examples I can think of), I was fine with Miura taking his time giving a satisfying ending. Like you said, unfortunately things happened. |

| I think that Miura had planned the whole story. Because we've already seen the final panel. If he had written it other magakas might conclude it. |

| in my personal opinion, they should leave it were it is out of respect for Miura |

| I'd say we chill a bit and realize that he wasn't a machine. I do hope that he wrote the ending but we can't expect that. Anyways, even if his assistant tries to finish it, if the art isn't that good we shouldn't judge because no one will be as great as Miura. Rest in peace king! |

| I personally think that, if Miura left any notes on how he planned to end the story, they should include them in the final volume, not as drawings or story but as notes. Of course in typed version. |

| I feel bad for Miura. Unfortunately, I will never read the rest of the manga (I'm at the end of the Golden Age arc) If it doesn't have a continuation of some sort. It's not worth it. Again, rest in peace sensei. |

| Yes, no end of course, and everybody was affraid of that like, since 10 yeara ago at least. As i said, the story was too far from the Climax. It was like in between the previous and the next Arc, when something would be discovered ou happens in that island, and finally it would make Guts and Gang to move in direction of Griffith Kingdom. Too far from that. This manga would continues for more 2 decades at least, or until Miura decides to hurry it. At least the last ch was one that Miura had fun to make. |

| Let's be honest even if he didn't pass the chances of Berserk EVER getting an ending was slim I mean how many YEARS was it in Hiatus? This is just the end result of an Artist that never put any effort to really hammer out the story. I mean countless other Manga started and had meaningful endings while this sat in Hiatus. |

You're either trolling or uninformed. He literally went on hiatus because of health concerns. The overarching antagonist of Berserk is a giant heart. |

His death impacts us all in many different ways, but his art was a part of him. I believe it’s perfectly reasonable to want to see his masterpiece to an end and don’t find it problematic to wonder on that. This was his legacy. |

| I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I really hope that the assistants continue his work. Kentaro probably left some notes for them in case something happened. I know it won’t be the same, but at least we would get a glimpse of what the author planned the ending to be. Nevertheless, he is still a legend. His legacy will continue to live on and he will be missed by all those who gave his work a try, including myself. R.I.P. |

| They should leave it be. One of the more admirable aspects out of this fantastic series was the fact that the author (Kentaro Miura), while reading his chapters/panels, seemed to clearly present his thoughts, imaginations, and emotions all through his impeccable art, matched to no other in the industry (IMHO). Not to mention the character & world building, which most certainly dragged me into this series like a vacuum. Having assistants complete his work would leave a bitter taste of dissatisfaction. Many have their expectations risen to where, to be frank, most are incapable of emulating, at least to a satisfying end. Not saying that the Manga ending isn't a possibility, though. However, one must have their expectations drop by a significant amount if such things were to occur. And in all honesty, such things would only worsen the grief of losing our Kentaro Miura (RIP). Shit will simply not be the same. |
