Intense rape and gore scenes, and very dark world-building. Now that we got that out of the way, Let's talk about the actual qualities of the series itself.
Story: 10/10
The manga follows a boy named guts from birth to adulthood, and his struggles in life.
If I say more it will be huge spoilers.
Plot: 10/10
Literally, everything that happens, matters, the development is insane.
Characters: 9/10
Possibly the weakest part of the series, especially since it focuses on one protagonist and polishes him compared to the side characters.
But the supporting characters are still amazing, and they get a lot of development, just not as the protagonist (Guts).
World Building: 10/10
The world is huge and it's super needed for the story & characters.
Art: 10/10
Very detailed, dark, and matches the world of the series.
Overall: 10
TL:DR:
This manga is amazing, but I cannot recommend it to everybody, especially because of its habit to show disgusting human nature.
