Kentarou Miura's Assistants Resume 'Berserk' Serialization, 'Holyland' Creator Kouji Mori to Supervise
 The editorial department of Young Animal announced on Tuesday that the late Kentarou Miura's Berserk manga will resume serialization in the 13th issue on June 24. The magazine will publish six chapters till the end of the Maboroshi-zukuri Sekai-hen (Fantasia arc) and Yousei Shima no Shou (Island Chapter), followed by a new arc.  Studio Gaga—a manga production studio founded by Miura where he worked with his assistants—will be credited for the manga as it resumes. Manga creator Kouji Mori (Holyland), a close friend of Miura with whom he often consulted Berserk's storylines, will serve as the supervisor. Miura will remain credited for the original work.In a statement with Hakusensha, Mori explains that he and Miura have been discussing Berserk's complete storyline since the manga's Eclipse chapters 30 years ago. Following Miura's death, Mori considered conducting an interview or publishing an article with some illustrations to discuss the ending, but he decided that these methods were inadequate. When Studio Gaga approached Mori to continue the manga, he carefully considered and accepted the proposal. Mori promised to "recall as many details as possible and tell the story," and maintains that while the telling will not be perfect, he feels that he "can almost tell the story that Miura wanted to tell." Similarly, Young Animal's editorial department assures readers that they will not deviate from Miura's original work and will deliver Berserk as faithfully as possible to Miura's vision. Hakusensha published Berserk's 41st volume on December 24 last year, the last volume containing the final chapters Miura drew prior to his passing (pictured right). The volume's special edition bundled a drama CD based on the Casca no Mezame (Casca's Awakening) chapter. Miura died on May 6 last year at the age of 54 from an acute aortic dissection.

| I want to say Im so glad a amazing story as Berserk will still be continued and completed after all these years! However...I wonder despite it being supervised by Miura's close friend, will it still have the same charm? I guess we won't know until the chapters start coming...but GOOD NEWS! |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Holyland is great and Mori was Miura's best friend, so I think Berserk is in the best possible hands now. I hope MAL creates a seperate entry for this version of Berserk, though. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I mean, fans kinda deserve that, so this is good news. |
 |
| so there was a planned ending long time ago eh nice one |
| Very good news. There will probably be some who will complain and swear, but I really want to know the continuation of this amazing series. Someone might say that this is a cheap cash grab, but since they talked so much about this story, I will be waiting patiently. Nothing hurts like an unfinished masterpiece. |
 |
| This is all a little weird. If it is coming though, then I wish him good luck to not fuck it up. |

| Great news for the fans. Even if it doesn't perfectly follow Miura's vision, it's nice that the manga will get some closure and a proper ending. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
SignsOfSuicide said: This is all a little weird. If it is coming though, then I wish him good luck to not fuck it up. Maybe Miura asked him to finish his work somehow. Well, Mori probably understands what is at stake here, but if he takes up this challenge, he must be sure that it will succeed. Otherwise, hell awaits. But let's hope not... |
|
| Berserk won't ever be the same without Miura but I'll still read it. |
 |
| If it's true that he knows what Miura intended for the storyline then this outcome is as good as it gets. I'm glad it will be continued by someone who knew and was friends with Miura. |
 |
| OMG! Im just so glad they decided to continue the series. Im not the kind of "it wont be original anymore, it wont be the same, etc" guy but as long as I get to see my man Guts's true ending, I can finally end my 12 years of struggle. |
| I legit started tearing up when I saw the news. Berserk is such a legendary work, it deserves a conclusion and thankfully Miura shared his plans for the story with someone. The fact that we are gonna get some kind of closure is a miracle to be honest. |
| :3 |
| I was a little worried at first but since it’s Miura’s best friend, I have faith. Hopefully he doesn’t mess it up. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
| Great news for the Berserk fans out there. I'm looking forward to see where the series goes from here. |

| I've faith in them but at the same time, I'm a little bit scared. I hope everything goes right with this masterpiece. |

| Praying the ending will be good |
Saygram said: it was sudden death so there are no wish or draft left. however miura often do small talk with mori and even say what the ending he want. that's why he was taken the role as supervisor.SignsOfSuicide said: This is all a little weird.

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Well better than leaving it all open, so great news Mori's following up. |
 |
| holy shit mfaisjdfioajsiodajoisd |
| Yes! This seems like the best choice if they want to continue and eventually finish Berserk. I have faith in them! |
| I'm very excited but worried at the same time, hopefully all goes well and we get to see the ending berserk deserves. |
| This is a similar situation to what Happened to Zero no Tsukaima years ago when the author died before he finished his work, his assistants wrapped up the story to have a conclusion much like this one. Im just gratefull that we are still going to have this story countinued and we will see the mc journey come to an end. Granted a good chance it wont feel the same without Miura's influence but i think they can manage it, since they have known for a long time how the story would wrap up and they are the most qualified to do so. I wish for the best. 3 decades worth of content and it wont be all for nothing :) |
| Today is a wild ass day Berserk is returning with the Holyland mangaka taking over, and One Piece is about to go on a month long break to prepare for the final saga of the series My mind was fucking blown when I saw all this last night, but I gotta wish Oda a happy 25th, a happy break and to Kouji Mori, I wish you all the luck in the world because you gotta have balls the size of Jupiter to want to take on a task like this, knowing full well how animanga fans can get in this day and age |
| This is the outcome I was hoping for. And it's beautiful just like the rest of Berserk; a best friend trying to finish his late friend's life work. Couldn't be in better hands. I hope the people who changed it to "completed" so hastily feel dumb right now. tamer91 said: Great news!! The only problem is the art, I don't think Kouji-sensei's art good enough.. Miura's assistants will be drawing it. Hopefully this video will answer a few other questions people have. |

| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Wholesome news, hopefully it delivers. |
 |
| i don't know how to feel about this |
| When it comes to comics having another person write it, it usually doesn’t end up well(just look at a lot of Marvel and DC comics) but this might not be bad considering the fact that one of Miura’s friends whose known him for 30 years is working on it.(I’m still concerned though) |
| The answer to 1984 is 1776 |
| Alright cool, I really appreciate this |

Kuma said: it was sudden death so there are no wish or draft left. however miura often do small talk with mori and even say what the ending he want. that's why he was taken the role as supervisor. They also found memos and character designs |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| OH MY GOD!!!! I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN BUT I'M SO HAPPY I WAS WRONG!!! TT_TT THE HYPE IS REAL!!!! |
| Gaming channel just for fun: https://www.youtube.com/cataorshane |
| Cautiously optimistic about this. Also, they said 6 more chapters of Elfheim arc, and then a new one... Does that mean we're getting a regular serialization schedule? I hope so. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Interesting news, I was expecting no continuation at all despite the massive success of the story. Still though, I think it'd be better to be a bit more cautious just in case... |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Those are some big shoes to fill. |
 |
| Oh gosh, I didn't see that coming but I am glad I didn't. I am so happy right now. I hope they can do Miura sensei justice. |
| Berserk (manga) went downhill years ago (for me at least) so.... I don't care... good for fans though... |
| There is something else. If this whole project works well. Then maybe we will get a proper kickass anime adaptation. From the beginning to the glory end. |
|
| oh yeah !! finally !!! |
 |
| This is pretty much the best way to honor his legacy honestly, its his best friend and assistants giving closure to his life work, its at least worth trying than just calling it quits. Worst case scenario if it sucks people can just disassociate anything after Miura's death like how people ignore the last 2 dune books that were not written by frank Herbert |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I am so much happy!!! Berserk truly deserves a proper ending and i am glad that it's legacy is going to continue even after creator Kentaro Miura's death. |
 |
| So much yes! HxH, HnK, and now Bereseruku! |
| the most competent person to continue the berserk manga is the best fan of this and is the creator of the dark souls, the one that in fact would improve the story a lot. |
| glad that it's gonna continue |
