Rated 5 starsA Masterful Manga of Blood and Gore
(Note that I saw the anime series before I read the manga, so consider this as you read on.) Berserk, both anime and manga, is one of the most violent and bloody series out. Yet it's also very deep and well-plotted, with a unique anti-hero, that being Guts, a.k.a. The Black Swordsman, a man who loves to hate, cares nothing for those around him, and wants nothing more than to swing his massive, horse-cleaving sword around...

Rated 5 starsBerserk is the Ultimate Fantasy Experience!!!!!!!

Rated 5 starsJust about the best manga series I've ever read...
The detail of the drawings is magnificient. The story is well thought out and fascinating. The characters are complex and thoroughly developed. And, there's true suspense--bad things happen to good people and good things happen too--in this extra dark story you never really know where it's going till after it gets there.Most mangas I read for 'fun'--the story is predictable & the characters are 2-D but it's cute or pretty,...
