Is Berserk Manga Coming Back?

Yes, the highly anticipated Berserk manga is finally making its return! On April 26, 2024, the combined 9-10 issue of Young Animal magazine will feature Chapter 376, complete with color pages. Regarded as one of the greatest mangas of all time, this beloved series is set to resume serialization after nearly three years, and readers are eager to see how the story unfolds.

Berserk, which began serialization in 1989, was created by Kentaro Miura and has captivated audiences worldwide with its profound narrative and stunning artwork. Tragically, Miura passed away in May 2021 at the age of 54 due to an acute aortic dissection, leaving the story unfinished. After his passing, a team of assistants known as Studio Gaga, along with Miura's close friend Koji Mori, took over the manga's production. Mori has assured fans that he will strictly adhere to Miura’s original concepts and directives, making no changes to the plot. While some readers are critical of another's involvement, the majority are thrilled that the story will continue.

The Context of the Manga's Return

During the hiatus, fans were filled with uncertainty about the future of this classic work. Many worried that it might never return. However, thanks to the efforts of Mori and the Studio Gaga team, Berserk will continue. Mori has stated that he had extensive discussions with Miura during his lifetime and is committed to following Miura's intentions to complete the story. This promise has reassured many fans who hope for a conclusion that reflects Miura’s style and spirit.

Following the release of Chapter 375, excitement is high for what’s next. The last time we saw Guts, he was in a harrowing situation, facing the threat of his old friend Griffith and the despair of Casca's abduction. This suspense has left fans eager to find out how Guts will confront the upcoming challenges.

Anticipating the Future of Berserk

While Berserk is set to return, many uncertainties remain regarding its future direction. As the story progresses, fans are hopeful for an epic showdown between Guts and Griffith, a battle that transcends mere physical conflict to intertwine emotions and fate. Whether this complex and profound narrative will receive a satisfying conclusion is a major point of interest in the upcoming chapters.

Additionally, there are currently no confirmed plans for a new anime adaptation of Berserk. However, given the manga's popularity and its rich, intricate plot, it could potentially be brought to the screen again. Whether as a new anime or a film, it would undoubtedly attract a large audience of devoted fans.
