First off I would never recommend this manga to anyone, unless they wanted a recommendation for a psychological horror manga. First off the story is great, it isn't your average plot you would find in an animanga. A man named Susumu Nakoshi is living in his car between a lavish hotel and a park full of homeless people. One day, an eccentric young man approaches Nakoshi in search of subjects willing to partake in trepanation the procedure of drilling a hole in the skull. This mysterious person claims that Nakoshi is the perfect man for the experiment. Initially rejecting the offer, he doubles back on ... his decision after his car gets towed off. Nakoshi agrees to let Manabu Ito, a 22-year-old medical student, drill a hole in his skull in exchange for 700,000 yen. The procedure bears no results at first, with Nakoshi showing no abnormalities. This normalcy comes to an abrupt end, however, when Nakoshi begins seeing the homunculus in every person. With his perception distorted, he sees the person's true personalities and what they really are. The art is amazing, the mangaka is definitely very talented when it comes to drawing the characters and the structure of the manga. The characters are outstanding, Susumu Nakoshi is easily one of my favorite animanga characters of all time. And the side characters are also amazing with ear arc introducing another quirky or amazing character. Now enjoyment wise, I loved the journey of Nakoshi and how he handled people with the disorientated homunculi, but some panels were really disgusting and that is the car rape scene, like many other people I didn't enjoy it as well, but if you can get through that then your in for the enjoyment. After I finished the manga, I went through an existential drive, I really questioned myself and was offline for 3 days. Its the only media that made me do this and thats why I give it an overall of a 9/10.

Damn... Where do I start?... First of all r.i.p Kentarou Miura. His work will be forever remembered as a true masterpiece. I love everything about Berserk, and when I say everything I mean everything, story, art, characters and etc. Truly a masterpiece. The story was great, I did enjoy some arcs more than the other but all of them had a great story. My favorite has to be the golden age arc, it shows why Guts is like he is and as well as focuses on so many characters and their development. The art is a true blessing from god, even the smallest atom on ... the page is detailed. The characters, oh the characters. Guts is one of my favorite protagonists of all time, truly bad ass and astonishing character development. Griffith is the first antagonist that made me truly hate the villain and what he put Guts through, and I like that, I like when I hate the antagonist. Casca was one of my favorite characters in the golden age arc, the eclipse changed everything, super brutal, made me cry... I got pure enjoyment out of reading berserk, minus the horse rape scene. What else can I say other than this is a true masterpiece. Overall a 10/10.

From the story to the characters, everything this manga has to offer is magnificent. All the arcs are amazing, even ones that don't have a lot of action, e.g: the farming arc, one of the bests arcs in the entirety of animanga. The character development is insane. Mushashi Miyamoto has got to be my all time favorite character in the whole of Animanga. And don't even get me started on the art, Takehiko Inoue is a legend when it come to drawing, the panel structure is outstanding as well as the dialogue. This is my favorite manga of all time undoubtedly, I enjoyed it much ... more than any other anime or manga. Berserk is considered the best anime in the world but imo Vagabond is better, I repeat IMO. So overall, a 10/10 a truly Magnificent Masterpiece.
