The Guardians of Desire chapters are what sold me on this series. Guts and Puck interactions set the tone brilliantly and will make you excited for their return dozens of chapters later.

The beginning of one of the best mangas out there. If you can handle the trigger warnings I encourage you to read the incredible story Miura-sensei was able to give us in his life.

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.
