    As good as the manga is, it is quite a bit more graphic than the anime. There are multiple scenes of rape, (child rape even), and it can be violent on a level that can warp someone with a a weak mind. As good as the story is, it is not something most parents would be ok with their children reading. Many in America still view comics (manga is a form of comics) to be for children, not the hobby of a mature adult. As we both know, this is a false assumption. It is my opinion that the people at Dark Horse also believe this to be false, but I also believe that the higher ups-the ones who controll the $$$$-had their doubts as to the marketability of the Berserk manga. They were obviously wrong. Berserk has been a huge hit over here, and I am sure that they will bring out the rest of the manga.

    This is only my interpretation of the situation of course.

    guess what I completely agree with you on all points. I hate the assumption that comics are for kids. And when they see this Berserk manga they are going ot shit bricks. Dark horse is different as they have always put out mature themed Comics to begin with.

    And on how graphic the manga was I found that out when i read the part about the young girl getting impaled by a spear and the guy drinking her blood. But it takes alot to bother me.

    The Hawks stopped distributing vol 1-3 since those are the only ones being released by Dark Horse right now. The reason for this is that Dark Horse is still unsure about the marketability of Berserk, so they are testing the waters with the first three volumes. If they sell well, they will release more.

    I don't know, the time when they killed a village, impaled them all with spears, then kept them on the spears when attacking guts and whatnot... I'd say that was worse. How about the goat and the sespool? Anything involving Wyld...

    oh... anyone read the BASTARD manga before? or heard of it? the story goes that the original artist drawing the manga went mad... cos the manga was really TOO graphic and his apprentice had to end off the story for his sensei
