Poor Casca💔
That was the shortest chapter ever!
The art is stunning btw.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟔𝟔. "𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐦"

I spoke too soon about the art. They did well in the previous chapter but it went down hell in this one — it varies from panel to another. No one can match Miura’s skills after all.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟔𝟖. "𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬"

Now that we don’t have Miura, I’m appreciating his art more. Not as if this one is bad, but it’s definitely not the same.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟕𝟑. "𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐝"

And just like this I learn that the series is not finished yet :)

(Log for the entire Berserk manga up to chapter 376)

Took me about a month of on and off reading before powering through over 100 chapters in the past few days but I finally caught up to Berserk, and it's as wonderful as everyone says it is. Godlike art, fantastic characters, a plot that's engaging and a villain that's so hateable I had to pause at certain moments because of the rage I was feeling.

The use of SA in early arcs is something that got obnoxious, and this is something that the author reportedly regretted. You can tell, as once Berserk started refining itself it only gets better.
