So about to die.
Dragon Slayer Enema!
Just finished with Berserk 268, and damn
was very nice. as always
Shierke goes all out, and Guts his oh so close.
where can i find it at??
I just got it up on mangatraders.com
Although it's raw, and has no translation at this time.
Just caught up again, after stopping a couple of months ago...
Good shit as always... Hopefully 268 will kick ass

OMG you stopped reading Berserk wow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
A great chapter where Guts showed his crazy expressions again and the witch is more powerful than i thought.
Good episode, but leaves alot to be desired.
WHY IS IT SO SHORT!!!! *pulls arm pit hair as there's no more head hair left to pull*.
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Oh well.. when's the next one out btw?
The 10th as far as I know.
Thats pretty fast,we have been lucky lately waiting no more thans a couple of weeks for a new chap.
Bah, considering how things have been going, I won't be surprised if their stay in Vritannis is going to be extended, yet again.
My guess is, seeing as how their ship is probably reduced to cinders, that Guts and company hijack the Kushan ship. Good thing about this prediction would be that there'd be a whole lot more battles coming up with the Kushan psychics.
I just got to the point where guts gets the berserker armor; I'm downloading the rest now. God, this manga just keeps getting better.
Awesome part, still got a few chapters to get through, it only gets better, and also reading it again makes it alot better.
Berserk 269 is released, by evil genius even, nice chapter and I wasn't expecting this so soon.
Available on MangaTraders.com
Cool chapter, just when we thought that the fucking Witch ended all chances of Guts going Berserk, another fucking monster appears... Guts + Berserk mode = awesome chapter
So many monsters. Of course.. Nothing can stop Guts. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
How long is the berserk manga, in terms of pages?
30 complete volumes, probably half of the eventual total, on average about 225 pages per volume, so around 6750 pages as of right now.
When you put it that way, I wonder how I could've read so much...
and it's still not finished, or close to it.
DAMN THIS MANGA IS GREAT!!!!
I'm on volume 3 so far and I'm loving it.
Berserk 270 preview I found.
Seems as March 10 is the day of reckoning.

HAH!
Though... that looks... disturbingly plausible.
A berserker-mage that flys around spearheading things with the DragonSlayer in one hand while casting spells of unspeakable power with the other...
It eliminates any need for the rest of the group!
Lol.. thats really really funny. I laughed so loud my Mom thought I was heaving a heart attack and barged into my room.
I'm just done with Volume 29, and that seems to be the last one that Band of the Hawk released.
Are the 30 and up volumes on MangaTraders good, or should I go search for a different release?
Evil Genius is the only and best group that scanlates berserk chapterwise.
Yup.. Band of the Hawk waits for the whole volume to be released before the sub it. Evil Genius just subs whenever an episode is released. In my opinion both are of equal quality. I just get both anyway. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I personally love both the Berserk anime and Manga, though I thought that the anime didn't come close to showing the entirety of Guts' past, and how much shit actually happened to him.
"My love for you Is like a truck....Berserker! Are you want to making fuck....Berserker! .....Berserker!"-Guts
"....Did he just say 'making fuck'?"-Caska
....Sorry, had to.
God damn. I finally caught up with everything in this manga (i love this story so much, and I love the dark style, especially the faces. The people almost look like a wax museum exhibit sometimes...)
but now I have to sit and wait (not so) patiently for chapters to come out... just about every month, right?
Also, am I alone in strongly disliking how big the group is getting? (or rather, the impact it has had on the manga...)
Serpico, Farenze, Caska, Puck. I was fine when all of them joined up. Caska's coming back brought a brand new dimension to the fight and showed alot about Guts' changes. Puck's comic relief was most necessary for a story as bleak and violent as this. Serpico just plain rocks. Farenze... meh, she sorta faded into the background (until recently) and her sudden meekness was only countered by the fact that she's a package deal with Serpico.
Then there's Isidoro. At first he cracked me up (and he still does) and I liked the idea of Guts getting an 'apprentice'. I also like how Isidoro had to go about learning his own fighting style. But now I feel like him, and Puck, and Caska's occasional childish silliness, along with Serpico's wit/comments tipped the balance towards 'comedy'.
Schierke. Ok, I was sorta wary of another character joining them. But she's brought a brand new element into the story with her Magic. I also like her outlook on humanity and some of her scenes and spells have had absolutely beautiful animation. I also like how her and Guts are paired up and she has to risk herself to 'bring him back'.
But Schierke comes with some baggage, in the form of Evarellea. Did we really need another elf? Granted, I'm sure something important is bound to eventually happen with her and Puck, and she is different from Puck as far as personality. But for some reason that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. The amount of space dedicated to comic relief has gotten too damn big IMO. Isidoro, Puck, Evarellea, and even Serpico, Caska (and even Guts once and again) all of their 'funny little comments' seem to be too much to me.
Yes, I realize this has descended into a rant. I love this manga, and I know it's stupid to criticize Miura. I just sometimes find myself wishing that he'd stop giving so much time, space and effort to these gags and jokes. I know the elves are almost always just a tiny part on the page, but they appear in so many panels and I say 'who knows how much further along we'd be in the story if they'd just get shunted to the back more often' or 'rather than think up their jokes and draw them in, why not work on a background or large panel page?'
Fuck, shit. You all know how (overly)critical I can be... so don't get me wrong. I love this fucking manga. I even enjoy the comic relief at times. But it's a story about Guts, Caska and Griffith, and I know the other characters are deep and all, but goddamn I want the spotlight to be on the three main characters!
edit: 1500th post! Level Up!
Yeah, I agree that there is simply too much extra baggage in Guts' group at the moment. Though I can tolerate Roderick, he's probably going have to leave at some point... And Magnifico has just been utterly useless, so he's going to have to be dropped, soon. As for Farnese, Serpico, Shriecke, and Ivarella, they come in pairs, so I'm not sure whether Miura's going to let them go at all. And I suspect that Isidro is going to grow into his own "major character" maybe some time down the road from now.
I wonder whether Azan would join them as well. He's somewhere in the city.
Yeah, I thought he would've been one of the people to be with Guts well at least until the end of this part anyway.
Who was Azan? I don't remember...
Azen? do you mean sir Owen? One of the Midland nobles who has been around since really early in the story?
I don't see him (or that other Midland noble, the one who almost got killed trying to find info on the Princess in Midland) as the fighting types. I see them as providing support/arms to Guts and his crew later on, and maybe also trying to persuade people that Griffith's crew is not the one they should side with. Their has to be some reason Miura wrote them into the storyline...
And if I'm wrong and Azen is a different person, who the hell is he? I can't recall him at all...
Nope. Azan the bridge guardian.
Remember he helped fight off the pirates when Isidiro and Shierke was at the pier? He fights using a spear thingy. And we saw him again hungry scrounging for food in the tavern.
He used to work under Farneze as one of the HOly Chain Nights before the God Hand tower thingy.
gosh i do know remember that guy. I had totally forgotten about him and so when he showed up to help Isidoro and Mule I was just 'who the fuck is that?'. Then he was outside the tavern and I was just like, 'oh, some random re-occurring comedy character Miura wanted to throw in'
If he joins up with Guts and co. I will hold you personally responsible.
There's the 270 preview, although 270 is actually out but it's only in it's RAW form.
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/06v06.jpg
oh shit!! he looks really evil...will the power of the silke and guts fusion be enough to defeat janenba....errr the giant elephant thingies??!!
You can go to MangaTraders for the RAW and a Text translation.
Evil Genius has came out with the translation
http://www.evil-genius.us/
Pretty good setup...the guts/silke combo vs. the kushan sorcerer...i bet you they kick his ass and steal his ship, but not before guts guts good and bloodied up
We got ourselves a boss here. I would think we're going to be stuck here for a year just finishing up this battle. :p Then only are we going on a boat ride.
I hope its not a year, but i could definitely see it lasting a couple of months.
I can no longer stop myself from getting jealous of you guys here for talking about "berserk is awesome, berserk is cool, dark, wicked blah blah blah" so now I'm joining for the fun :) please welcome me guys!!!! :D Anyways, I never knew before that Berserk was really an anime... I got hooked up to the game of DC entitled Sword of the Berserk: Guts Rage. At that time I kept on asking myself... What's Guts story? What is that brand on his neck? How did he get it? and still alot of questions if you really didn't know that it was an anime until I found this forums. gotwoot was linked from narutofan.com at that time and I didn't have any idea of what are forums about so I tried to read the general manga section and found berserk. I had a feeling at that time that this is the sword of the berserk and found out that it really is so I directly went to mirc to download them... sorry about this guys... I really like this manga more than any other I've read. Up until now I've read berserk more than 10 times already especially the part after they got sacrificed. I think I've talked too much already :D hope this is ok ... sorry I'm not really good at english -peace-
Welcome to the forums, might want to check out the rules section and shit. Anyway, enough of that, nice to have a new person into the Berserk section.
Well, depending if we get another break soon, which I don't highly doubt, maybe in another chapter or two, as how it's been going as of late, they might get onto the boat by the end of the year. They can still do much more with this arc, we still have the Hawks who can be thrown in, Azan also, Guts fighting now. They could be thrown in if he wanted to, then getting to the boat, etc.
The maximum number of issues we can get a year is 24, we can get a maximum of 19 more chapters, but then the skipped weeks every month, we'll probably get another 10-14 chapters this year. Putting it this way makes it really suck, but I love this shit too much.
Welcome to the forum dude!
Well, I suppose you can't rush a good thing. The only thing I'm worried about is that I (or Miura) will die before this thing finishes! I know that's a pretty silly concern, but you never know! Miura is 40, and I've often wondered how close to the end Berserk actually is...
Anyhow, I hate waiting... guess I'll just have to shut up and do it anyhow...
thanks :D I actually played that game 5 yrs ago and started lurking in this forums for about 4 yrs. I didn't like joining back then but because of this berserk thread now I'm joining :) , and yeah I visit the rules section once in awhile even when I was just a guest back then. Anyway I haven't read the last 3 chapters yet so I'm about to read it now.:)
Welcome to the forums skindred. I hope you start posting regularly.
More than that I hope they stop skipping weeks on Berserk. I guess that it takes a lot of time for Miur to make art that good.
Indeed Skindred... welcome to the club.
Here's your 271 preview!
Battle commenced!
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/06v07.jpg
ARg. Beat me to it. :p
If you ask me, Gatts might struggle with this without the little girls magic. Probably she'll imbue his sword or something like that.
He is on some water taking him up to the sorcererar something tells me its not Guts magic but the little witch ;)
I think it might be the other guy controlling the water, the Daiba or whatever.
Yeah it can be him too but it doesnt look to smart to make Guts come close to you.
He aint necessarily making him come closer to him, that's just how it's turning out. Guts was on top of the little part of wood that comes off the ship, and the Daiba guy has started up a whirlpool, and Guts is just jumping out of the way in his direction, well that's what it looks like to me.
Well, just read 271 (raw+tran) nice chapter, and Daiba is something, Guts is a nice guy.
Lol.. waited like a month for that? Just seem him jump around and avoid tornados? Aaargh! 14th April till the next one out
Btw, the scans are out!
http://www.evil-genius.us/
Fusion Reborn!!!! but really, it was an ok chapter; esp now that guts has a moducum of control over the armor.
Yeah, I like seeing some control over the armour, Shrieke in there is helping him out, to gain some control, which is going to be needed later on.
Daiba guy is pretty damn strong being able to summon these cyclones like nothing and so many of them, one of the best parts was when he used his sword to change direction and come down on top of the mast, the look on everyones faces, especially Daiba.
Once the mast was falling down and comes into save them, badass!
I hope we get another time jump soon, and the kids grow up a little. I don't really hate Ishidoro or Shrieke, but I don't like having the kids around.
Actually I kinda like them as kids. A sense of innocence to them whereever they go.
I don't think there will be any type of time jump for a while, well at least not until they reach this elf island place.
Ishidoro isn't that bad, I agree he can be a pain, but him and Shierke are good, at least they're better than Roderick and shit.

I'm not sure if it's my eyes playing tricks on me or not, but does the Armor of the Berserk recede when Guts is sane?
And how is it that Berserk is only on chapter 272 after all this time, and when compared to other series who haven't had such a long lifespan?
try once a month vs once a week
Quality vs quantity and which do you want more ;)
Time jumps arent Berserk style so dont expect that specialy since this manga time goes almost real time. Its not like Naruto where it has been only a month beteween chap 1 and 200......
Well, chapter 272 is out, evil genius version should be out soon, I read the raw and translation.
Don't read below unless you've read the chapter or don't care about what happened in this current chapter.
Some nice action and it was good to see Serpico get involved as well, if only a little bit. Get to see Casca angry at Guts which is nice to see, some other expression than nothing on Casca's face.
Daiba is getting all serious now, but it shouldn't have to much of an effect on Guts, although this new beast (even if you can call it that) seems to be made up of water.
That Berserker Armor changes a lot depending on Gatsu's mental state. Remember when he first got it fighting Grunberd outside of Flora's giant tree? It changed from looking like Skull Knight to looking like that dog-beast inside of Gatsu.Quote:

The only way i could see anyone beating that thing is if it is frozenor evaporated.
Also, that form his armor took reminds me of wolverine from the x-men. Snikt!!
I foresee the outcome of the battle to be something in the ball park of this:
skirmish w/ waterbeast -> Guts beaten to inch of his life -> lo and behold, ploy! ->
Daiba CANNON'D -> Daiba hacked apart by Dragonslayer
Not to say that it's a bad thing if it turns out like this, pretty much all of the previous battles had me at the edge of my seat.
haven't seen the newest 272 yet, but i really liked the few chapters before it. Guts' mid-air veer, the Flame Wheel and how Schierke 'opened his eyes' (er, well, his one eye...) were all really nicely done.
If he can keep his sanity while wearing the armor does that lessen its power? Or does he get the benefit of the armor's full power and not being totally berserk?
berserk 273 is out also
http://bt.mindwerks.net/allowed/2b2c...ce4c93.torrent
on a site i check i found this torrent link.
This series is too addicting. It makes horse look like caffine.
Eh? What does THAT mean?
Looks like the battle's over; Dhaiba's ginormous sea-sperm got parched by Guts' iron slab of passionate fire, so he ought to magik-less, no? Onward to Elfhelm, I say.
Not to bad, Daiba is gone, I don't think any other enemies are going to be coming. I agree, to Elfhelm we shall go!

I just finished watching the anime (my first venture into the Berserk world), and I heard the ending was bad so I wasn't expecting much from the last episode, but I didn't think it would be that bad. So now that I'm starting the manga, I found the website www.thehawks.org for volumes 4-30, but of course I need 1-3. Anyone know a good site to get them?
http://www.gotlurk.net/
Go under MiRC Mirrors Bot.
Hm, not quite sure where I should place this...
I was browsing through animemusicvideos.org earlier today and came across a Berserk MMV (like AMV except done purely with manga scans). I really liked the originality and execution of the idea.
Berserk - Dark Tranquility - The Wonders At Your Feet by Sir_Lagsalot
Check it out, I found it very enjoyable!
About something like this: Should it warrant its own topic, or be placed in General Discussion or some other forum, or is this thread the right place for it? Although this is a large thread, Berserk releases are quite spaced out so there's gaps in manga discussion. The AMV (MMV?) is also compiled with post-anime manga scans so it really is only something a manga audience would appreciate without being spoiled.
Yeah, just leave it in here, it's Berserk related so it's better.
Mage, mangatraders.com, it's in my sig, it has all volumes there.
Chapter 274 raw is out, you can get it from skullknight. Although, there is no translation at this time.
Chapter talk
Interesting chapter, Ganishka pulling out some lightning attacks, so we got Guts up verse an apostle now, and Shiereke is out of Guts' mind. The chapter was cut to short only if this was a double release it would've kicked ass, now the wait again.
Thanks for that, I guess I'll download it after the next chapter release ( next 2 weeks :mad: ). Gaaah! I can't wait !!!! :mad:
Scanned, BT: [Evil_Genius]Berserk_v31c274.rar
Wow, Guts is going to be in pure agony when he takes off that armor. Its a bit unfortunate that Ganishka mistakes the crew as the Hawk's followers since they really are an independent party in all of this mess.
Hmm, even if Ganishka hadn't mistaken Guts and pals as followers of the Hawk, I'm sure he still wouldn't take too kindly to their wiping out his infiltration forces.
As of yet, I say Serpico's going to take the bolt on Guts' behalf, bite the dust, and be replaced by Azan, who's been strangely absent for some time.
275 Preview.
http://www.younganimal.com/berserk/sp/img/06v12.jpg
You can also get the raw for this chapter with a text translation.
Chapter talk:
Nice little proposition from Ganishka, heh.
The insects have come!
i have a question... i watched the anime.. and i heard the manga continues off where the aniem left off... what chapter should i start at? and where can i dl the mangas? thank you
The chapter that the manga continues right after the anime is volume 13, chapter 7.
However, it comes highly recommended that you read the entirety of the manga, including the portion the anime encompasses, due to all the minor, yet, important details and the handful of characters that get cut from the anime.
Check the post above yours, there's a nice archive site within the sig.
Well, unfortunately the site is down at the moment.
Also read the whole manga, it will be much better for you if you did, the anime misses on things as bagandscalpel has said.
Evil Genius have released their version of chapter 275
Evil Genius 276
Nice chapter, with Zodd going in for the kill, I liked how Guts was having a little breather, thought that was good. Asking Serpico to leave him be.
Another month break, July 28th for 277.
Wonder if this means Guts and Zodd will call a temporary ceasefire and become fighting buddies now that they've got a chance to save each other's ass from drowning? :D
sorry about this but search aint working right and i have a question im not sure has been answered but i doubt it. I was wondering if you guys can help me start reading where i left off since other site i used stoped at the fight between guts and serpico in the room with the big pillers were about to fight. Thats was the last one i read and im not sure which capter was next i would appreciate the help and thank you.
Friend, that is an easy question. The chapter you are looking for is #257, the very start of volume 30. Now go start downloading it and reimmerse yourself in this timeless epic- GOGOGOGO.
thank you very much im surprised to see i didnt get one of those "you're such a noob get out of forums" comments lol there are actually good people around here huh. Now i can enjoy one of the best mangas ever woot!
http://www.skullknight.net/griffith/BOTH.jpg
Ah, if only...
Credit goes to a brilliant fellow who inhabits the skullknight board.
Ah, that is awesome, lol.
My friend was going on about a Berserk movie, and I'm like, I would've heard about it, like he doesn't know much about Berserk, except for what I've told him.
I wish a movie would come out, even if they didn't do that good of a job, I can still read the manga and call the movie shit, heh.
One more week.
Just finished reading this entire manga in 2 days. Now I'm very tired. Good night.

Here comes Zodd, might get to learn something about him.
The title makes me think that Zodd is going to throw Guts, lol.
Nice mage, another one in here.
Now, here's an interesting thought about Zodd; ever notice how whenever he goes into a direct confrontation with Guts, in his human form, he's wearing either a loincloth or nothing at all. Whereas, other times, be it chopping up peons, or hanging around the camp with Griffith, he's decked out in armor of sorts.
In my opinion, it's Zodd's way of remembering Guts, a worthy adversary, by being in the state he's in when they first met.
Raw is out at SK, no translation as of yet.
Definately need a translation with this one, I had to look, also if you get it from SK, it's all in '.tif' extension. I couldn't use CDisplay.
Chapter Talk
The first part is mainly dialogue, which is good with some things you can kinda tell what's happening, but need to know for sure. Some good dialogue between Guts and Zodd. I wasn't far off with the I think Zodd is going to throw Guts comment, instead he rides the fucker through Ganishka's magic form thing. Last page he looks very worried and shocked, hehe.
nice movie wallpaper..
anyway,here is the post
chapter 277 scanned by evil genius
