"La violencia no es la solución a todos los problemas, pero un espadón más grande que tú que corta soldados en armadura como si fueran mantequilla ayuda bastante." -Guts
3.5 stars maybe?
I'm surprised by how much I liked this volume. I don't usually read middle-age-esque fantasy manga with lots of fighting & gore & violence.
Guts is on a quest to kill demons and other despicable creatures, however he's not the knight in shining armor, he couldn't care less about casualties and innocent people killed in the process. He believes if a person is too weak to defend themselves they deserves what's coming for them. I'm curious to see where his arc will go.
I love Puck, they're an elf and they are as shook with Guts ruthlessness as I am.
This volume was originally published in 1990 and it's the oldest manga I've read as of today. The artwork is not something I would've typically enjoy but it works for this story.
To sum up, I was going into this manga being 80% sure I wouldn't like it but I've liked it enough to continue on with the series. I want to see what happens next.
CW: gore, violence, graphic depiction of them

I watched the anime, watched the movies, and I just HAD to find out more. The writing is gritty, the art is so detailed and has a handmade quality about it. Guts definitely has some baggage and Puck is a nice distraction from all the darkness. The first volume gives enough action and information to pique the interest and I cannot wait to learn more about apostles and behelits.
