From his days as a young mercenary to his time as captain of the Band of the Hawks' Raiders, Guts's life has been defined by his ability to fight and his will to win. Now cursed with the Brand of Sacrifice - a sigil that will forever mark him as prey for the damned - and with his companions dead, his lover's mind destroyed and his one-time commander and friend reborn as a malevolent demon lord, it seems that more than ever Guts must rely upon his instinct to survive. But Hell has many faces, and when what appears to be an innocent country village proves to be a den of tragic secrets, the horror of a fairy tale perverted by pain and hate may prove to be more than Guts can handle!
The first story arc after the Golden Age is terribly disappointing
| Customer Rating: | The Black Swordsman arc of the first three volumes was a decent introduction to Guts, and I recommend that people read it first. But everyone agrees that the Golden Age arc (volumes 4-14) are the reason to read Berserk: they are full of great character development, politics, warfare, and tragedy. The anime was based almost entirely on the Golden Age story, and it stands alone very well.
When the Golden Age story ended, I wondered whether Miura would bring that level of artistry to the Black Swordsman era of Guts. Sadly, his first storyline after the incredible climax in volumes 13 and 14 is a filler plot about a demonic elf who is plaguing a small village. The story isn't offensively bad, but it's such a disappointment compared to the stories that came right before it. It's hard to understand what Miura was thinking.
While the first Black Swordsman story in volumes 1-3 introduced some plot elements (it was the first appearance of the Behelits and the Godhand), the only part of this story that isn't filler is the introduction of the Holy See Knights. But they are generic religious knights that seem out of place in the dark, gruesome world of Berserk. The medieval politics and warfare of the Golden Age storyline had a much darker and more realistic feel.
Luckily this storyline only lasts two volumes, from mid-14 to mid-16. But Miura should have tried much harder to convince people to stick with Berserk after the Golden Age story ended. |
Berserk fan
| Customer Rating: | | I am a big fan of the Berserk series. This book only increases my intrest and makes me want to own all of the books. |
Finally.... let the horror begin!
| Customer Rating: | | As Berserk Volume 15 unfolds, we are finally introduced to the Queen "Bee" (Elf), who on the surface is an innocent but mischievous creature. We also learn the awful secret behind these little elf-bugs, and the consequences that come with it. All I can say is that Jill plays an integral role in this volume, which you'll find out when you read it. The climax is reached when Guts enters the Queen Elf's lair and begins to wreak havoc upon her and her "children." Can't wait for the April 2007 release of Berserk Volume 16, where Guts gets to give some payback for the pains of the Heaven's Apostles! |
