I haven't read Berserk and know almost nothing about it (yet), but this is pretty big news!

Do they know how the story is headed? Or are they kind of just "flying blind" and improvising the story?

Unfortunately i can't read Japanese so i'm either relying on a twitter account who does or DeepL.

Interesting part from the official announcement (with the help of DeepL):
"We, the production team, decided on a basic stance when we reopened the project.
Mr. Miura said so. This is what the production team took to heart.
Since we did not have the name of the manga left, it would be impossible for us to perfectly formulate the manuscript that Mr. Miura was trying to create, but we would compose the manga so that it would never deviate from what he had said.

We sincerely hope to weave the "Kentaro Miura" that has taken root within us through conversations with Mr. Miura and the creation of the manuscript. We believe that this production system is the way to convey "Berserk" as envisioned by Mr. Miura to everyone as faithfully as possible, even if it is poorly done."


There might be some translations error here and there but you get the idea.

Miura didn’t leave any manuscripts behind, his death was sudden and unexpected. They are going off what was said in interviews, personal talks, and knowing what Miura would have wanted.

I'm excited. I'm confident these guys can successfully do it even if it obviously won't be 100% what Miura would have done... Since obviously they're not him. Good luck to them however as I fully expect it will give birth to a sub group of loud toxic freaks that will bash it for disappointing them and not being Miura's vision or whatever.

Kouji Mori, Miura’s personal friend is the point man for this. He’s the guy who wrote Holyland and Jisatsou. Let’s hope he can really keep it up.

“six chapters until the end of 'Fantasia Arc/Elf Island Chapter”

Is that a good amount to finish it ?

Also it interesting to know that mori knows the story up till the end and that they found memos and character designs

It's better to try than to not attempt at all. If you're disappointed, you can always choose to ignore every chapter not made by Miura as non-canon, but now there's at aleast a chance for some story conclusion.

So many thoughts and emotions swirling in my head right now. You can tell their desire to continue and finish Berserk is coming from an earnest place. I can only imagine how difficult of a decision this was to make for them. Miura's assistants are very talented, and so is Mori. And wow, what a profound friendship.

We'll have to see how this goes, but they have my full support.

Holyland is great and Mori was Miura's best friend, so I think Berserk is in the best possible hands now.

Based on the translation and some info from other sites, we can, more or less, get the bigger picture. To those who don't wanna read the whole thing:
Studio Gaga, Miura's company, has four assistants: Yoshimitsu Kurosaki, Akio Miyaji, Shinshu Hirai and Arihide Nagashima.
They helped Miura with Berserk and have a style very close to him. The last chapter was actually, mostly, drawn by them, because Miura passed away before finishing it.
Kouji Mori, manga artist (whose style has nothing to do with Miura) will NOT draw it. He will write the script. THey found some notes and unfinished material, but Miura never wrote a full script himself. But Kouji Mori was Miura's friend and Miura confessed the whole plot to him when he was doing the Eclipse chapter.
So, Mori will TRY TO RECALL EVERYTHING Miura told him, promising he will not made up anything he don't remember.
He confessed he know full well this will not be the perfect story Miura had in mind, and it actually took him a whole year to decide if that was the best course of action. But he said he would regret not trying it, and imagine Miura saying to him "You knew the plot and didn't do it!".
That's it, more or less.

THe credits from the next issue fowards will be this: "Original work by Kentaro Miura, Manga by Studio Gaga, Supervised by Kouji Mori."

I think Kouji Mori is the best choice to continue the manga along with Studio GAGA. He and Miura had been close friends for decades and I doubt he would make the decision to continue Berserk without thinking it through thoroughly. Any speculation as to what Miura would or wouldn't have wanted is completely gratuitous. No matter how big of a fan you are, you don't know more about Miura than Kouji Mori, Miuras family, Studio GAGA, and the people he worked and confided with.

Best of luck to Kouji Mori and everyone else.
