Review: "Berzerk 2"

 

I have finally returned to the anime series Berserk.

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 2

The story opens introducing the reader to Vargas former court physician who became a torturer and cannibal.  the Black Swordsman is looking for the Godhand.  The Count – badly maimed finds them, and they fight. It turns out the Count is dead, and he is possessed by a daemon.  The Count is decapitated but revies ad captures Puck.  Guts tries to kill him again without success and attacks his fortress bringing carnage.  Puck gets out in time to see Guts fight the daemon.

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.
