Who is continuing Berserk?

Berserk, from now on, will be made by the group of assistants who worked and works for Miura at Studio Gaga and the work is supervised by a historical childhood friend of the master as well as consultant to the script of the manga, Kouji Mori. Kentaro Miura will always be credited as the original creator.




Kouji Mori is a close childhood friend of Miura as well as a confidant and consultant for details on the manga's script . Mori said in the statement that he already knows the entire history of Berserk, from start to finish. Mori also made a one-shot on Young Animal last year that chronicles his historical friendship with Miura and their artistic relationship.

In addition, master Mori talked about Berserk's ending with Miura at starting from the iconic "Eclipse" event of about 30 years ago and, after Miura's death, Mori proposed to tell the ending through an interview or through illustrations with a didactic article, but rejected this option as it was considered an insufficient method . On the other hand, Mori considered Studio Gaga's offer to continue the manga considerable and promised to do so by assuring readers that, despite the imperfections, he is confident of being able to tell what Miura wanted to tell by recalling as many details as possible.

Finally, both Mori and the editorial department promise to diligently follow the words that the master Miura would have liked to narrate.

Before his death, on the occasion of a chat with Eiichiro Oda (One Piece ), Miura had stated that the manga was approximately 60/80% complete and that he had begun to collect all the pieces of his script and then compose them to create the ending.

On 24 December 2021 it was released in Japan and online stores Volume 41 of Berserk in both regular and special editions. The special edition containing a Drama CD and a special illustration on canvas (dimensions 23.9cm × 8.7cm). In Italy, the expected number, as well as the last from Miura's hands, does not yet have a release date for now.
