It's been a day since I got the news, and I still can't believe it.

RIP, Miura-sensei

I first read Berserk at a bookstore where someone had torn the plastic wrap covering off. I was 13 at the time and was shocked and entranced by what I was looking at, like I had stumbled upon some amazing secret nobody knew about. I was able to take peaks at the pages when I thought no one was looking but obviously didn't have the nerve at that age to really read it. It was my curiosity and fascination that actually inspired me to get my first job working a paper route. With my first pay from that job I was able to purchase the first volume (through my amazing Mother...she would even put in pre-orders for me), then another, then another.

The next step was showing my friends and getting them into it too, as well as occasionally smuggling volumes in my school backpack and lending them to people. I'm living out of country now but keep in touch with friends in a chat group. One of them actually posted about Miura's passing and reminisced how Berserk was one of his first memories of me and what brought us close together as friends initially. He isn't anywhere near as big a fan as I am, and I barely remembered that being a major reason we became friends, but 15 years later we still message all the time. It was really touching to see.

These stories are a bit more juvenile , I know, but I really look back on these things fondly and how they shaped me at such an influential part of my life. More importantly, Berserk is what really fostered my interested in Japan and Japanese media, and would eventually lead to my route in secondary education. From there it led to coming and working in Japan and even meeting my girl friend of 5 years now who I met on the plane coming here (she also now loves Berserk and we now share it together).

I truly believe that Berserk has influenced my life more than any one singular thing and if it wasn't for Miura and his story, I most certainly wouldn't have made the friends I have, seen this beautiful country, become the man I am today or met the love of my life. Thank you Miura for everything you've done to help me and get me through the last 17 years of my life. I will always be truly grateful.

I'm absolutely devastated with Miura's death. The manga and anime literally changed my life in many ways. I've been a fan of Berserk since I was 17/18 years old in 1999 watching bootlegged anime fansubs of the 1997 anime. I've been a fan ever since and I can't express the joy I found once I was able to read the Berserk manga and continue the story from where the anime left off.

We lost an absolute legend. RIP

I had read up until the Eclipse some years ago, and since then stopped because I hate reading unifinished series. Now it will never be completed, or if Kentaro's assistants do finish it, he will not see the final product. Tragic. Even though Kentaro Miura is far from people I care about the most, and I assume it's the same for most here, the news yesterday sobered me up. Life doesn't always go as planned...


Does that mean you're going to continue it, or drop it for good now?


Well, if his assistants don't continue his job, I'll read up until now, and if they do I'll keep waiting.

I rarely post something, he's death hit me hard and I'm just sad about it. Berserk is a timeless masterpiece of art and storytelling, a epic dark fantasy that many people got there's inspirations, from games to others manga,books and pop culture. I've remember when I first time read it by recommendation from my friend, once I've started I couldn't stop reading it until the end (at that time it ended after second eclipse I think) later on I was cursing my friend for telling me about it because I couldn't wait for the next chapter, but still I'm glad that I've read this masterpiece. It's a shame that we will not see the end of it and that's just hearth breaking.
Who ever didn't read the manga is missing so much.
May you rest in peace master Kentaro

I really hoped that this would be a bad joke, but I'm slowly coming to terms with it...

Bersek has been a huge inspiration to me, and Miura's passing is going to leave a massive void in all of us. It doesn't really matter if the serialization ends here or if Studio Gaga continues it, as it will never be the same. At least the moral of Berserk has been pretty clear from early on: To keep struggling. So, does Guts' suffering go on forever? No... I want to believe that he is brought one step closer to redemption each time one of us faces their own struggles.

You will be greatly missed Kentauro Miura...

To every Bersek fan out there:

Nothing juvenile about it. News like this will always bring out a lot of sentiment. I keep thinking about my high school friend who introduced me to Berserk. I wonder what he's up to...

Glad you met so many people through Berserk. Nice stories. :)

I just started reading Berserk a few weeks ago, so I haven't grown attached to the series yet like so many people have, but I can already tell I'm going to enjoy it immensely.

That said, I was deeply saddened to learn of Miura-sensei's passing. He was an absolute legend in the world of manga and he will be truly missed.

rest in peace, ihave just started berserk but i'm going to read until the end regardless, i am not meaning to sound unconsiderate but what happens in this situation? will the manga never be completed or someone will be haired to complete it like mozarth's requiem? though no one could make something as great as the highest rated manga on mal so that might be worse than the manga never ending.

Been watching all the Tributes from the Berserk youtubers and it's still just hard to believe. Thoughts and prayers to his family. truly tragic :( at the least he passed pouring his passion into what he loved. He has has so much influence on so many people and in so many different mediums, and will continue to for many generations to come. Personally, I remember first reading Berserk a decade ago on a bus ride home from one of my last days in junior high and while it wasn't the first manga I read, it really got me hooked on the medium. RIP Miura, he will be dearly missed

It was often joked that either you (the reader) or Miura would pass away before the series finished but the reality of the news is just too cruel. Berserk was a huge influence on different mediums and entertainment cultures, a great talent is gone. The releases were slow but the attention to detail was second to none. When I first started reading this series I was barely out of highschool now I'm nearly an old fart myself. I was amaze that such a raw yet deep story was being told in this manga medium. It really open my eyes to reading more seinen manga.

It was a little rough at the beginning but man was the Golden Age Arc was an instant classic and I've been hooked every since. It was nice to since Miura grow as an artist as his detail and visual style became even more refined throughout the series lifetime.

Fuck man, this is just too much of a gut punch. RIP Miura, you was a legend.

Rest in peace to a legend. I've only read the first volume (and seen the 97 anime adaptation) but I own the first 11 volumes. More than a manga writer he was a human being who had friends and a family and it's incredibly sobering to see someone pass at such a young age. Thank you Miura, and my condolences to his friends and family. You've helped so many people through so many tough times, and I hope that you know that. I'm happy to be a part of a community where so many people band together and respect and acknowledge and celebrate the life of someone who touched the hearts of so many people. Your memory will live on forever.

I just finished the manga, and while I did know about his death before, I think like it finally hit me, Im sure all most everyone here will agree that berserk is just such a special and amazing manga, and its honestly a shame to see one the greatest mangaka of our time pass away before he could finish this master piece of a story...
but just as guts said, "he died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy"
may he rest in peace
