I love this world and the little droplets of information it gives us. Puck is the audience surrogate to help us understand the world and Guts as a character. At first, we are just shown how bleak the world is from Guts' prespective and as soon as you meet someone knew, they quickly die a gruesome death. It isn't until volume 3 (within this Deluxe volume) where we get a deeper look into some other characters and how Guts interacts with them, Puck being our moral compass throughout it. I absolutely love how the relationship between Guts and Griffith gets delivered, only leaving more questions behind. I can't wait to keep reading.
My only critisim is over Puck. The only reason he exists is to be the audience surrogate and comedic relief, otherwise it feels like watching an abusive relationship where Puck can't bring himself to leave after constantly being upset over Guts' actions. I suspect Puck will eventually get a bigger part later in the series.
The women are also drawn to all look 12 lmao

Content Warnings
Graphic: Gore, Torture, Violence, Blood, Murder, War
I would not reccomend this to anyone who has a sensitivity to gore and violence. It's basically on every page of this manga in graphic detail.
dark
This really is something special. Dark, depressing, violent, shocking... this manga sure deserves to be called Dark Fantasy.
In a world where everything is messed up, and demons are an everyday reality, Guts is a swordsman on a quest. On his way, nothing can stand alive, be it human or demon. It would be too easy to make him a terrible main character, but somehow the author really makes it work, with all the small details added to the scenes.
The art here is really impressive, and the story is dark in a way that makes you keep reading. Recommended.

So so good. I watched the animes first, so I tried to pay attention to details I might not have noticed if I didn't have background knowledge.
