Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter - and offers none! His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance.

Brilliant manga comic which led to the making of the cult classic manga Cartoons. This is a rather gory morbid tale but it certainly has style and is a hard one to put down once you get into it. I feel sorry for the user who gave this 1 out of 5 as they did not really give it a chance. The story really is one of the best i have read. I would also recommend buying the berserk DVD set for the best manga storyline ever. Hopefully they will one day release the second series. Enjoy this masterpiece.

This didn't interest me at all, unfortunately. Some ultraviolent characters, where you are not quite sure what is going on, who they are, why they are doing it, or where they are trying to get to. After that, there was little to interest me. Maybe for fans of androgyny in art? If you want large amounts of slaying for no apparent reason, get this.

Brilliant Manga comic that started the animated series. This is a Dark storyline that should fulfill any serious manga fan's needs. I have been searching for a Manga like this for years. Completely compelling.
