I
know little about anime, but I know a little more now. Cole Hastings talks about it on his YouTube
channel – and he said Berserk is his favorite. I asked my sister about it, and
she’s likes it as well, and has the first few volumes, so I borrowed them.
These
volumes are paginated from back to front and right to left, as the original
language version is.
The
series is by Kentaro Miura.
Berserk
1
The
story opens introducing the reader to Guts, the Black Swordsman, and his
friend, Puck the Elf. Guts has suffered in war and been tortured and is now out
for revenge. He is marked on the neck with a brand that draws evil to him. And he
lost his left arm which is now replaced with a mechanical one.
The
pages are more drawings than words. The art is living and takes the reader
through the story with understanding.
The
volume is marked with a parental advisory for the violence of the story and art.
I
am going to continue reading.
