While often dark and mysterious, there is a bit of humor that keeps it a little light hearted and I think that's what makes it shine. It leaves a lot of questions and leaves you really wanting to know what comes next.

Berserk is challenging, horrifying, inspirational and at times hopeful. I have never read anything that matches the brutal fantasy world created by Kentaro Muira. This will be remembered for generations as the genre defining epic of Dark Fantasy.
