Guts seems like a simplistic, edgy anti-hero at first glance, but he's so much more than that. Guts is one of the greatest characters the fantasy genre has to offer. Sigmund Freud could probably write a novel-length psychological analysis of this severely troubled and broken man. Guts is more complex than he leads people to believe as well. He's not a sociopathic antihero, he's a man that has no choice but to lie to himself to keep his emotions from crushing his spirit and getting innocent people involved with his deadly affairs. He's cruel and harsh for the greater good. It's the only way he can keep himself from going insane and continue to put up a good fight against terrifying creatures that are far stronger than he is. There's a bit of a joke in the Berserk community that says that no matter how bad your life might be, Guts will always have it worse. It's really not that hard to believe after you've read a bit of the series. His life was one big catastrophe literally from the moment he was born. Berserk volumes 22-24 continue to deliver the fantastic art, world and story which has made this series a new favourite of mine. Berserk Volume 3 TPB". Dark Horse.

[1] Miura inspired me as well and I regard him for being the person who taught me just how influential, meaningful and life changing art and literature can be when I first read his series over a decade ago. He changed the way I view entertainment and taught me how to appreciate the deeper meanings in everything I experience. Kentarou Miura ( 三浦建太郎) was born in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, in 1966. He is left-handed. In 1976, at the early age of 10, Miura made his first Manga, entitled "Miuranger", that was published for his classmates in a school publication; the manga ended up spanning 40 volumes. In 1977, Miura created his second manga called Ken e no michi (剣への道 The Way to the Sword), using Indian ink for the first time. When he was in middle school in 1979, Miura's drawing techniques improved greatly as he started using professional drawing techniques. His first dōjinshi was published, with the help of friends, in a magazine in 1982.Berserk Volume 21 TPB". Dark Horse. Archived from the original on August 30, 2012 . Retrieved July 9, 2008. Griffith is distraught at Guts' departure, and in a lapse of judgment he is caught sleeping with Charlotte. Griffith is charged with treason and imprisoned in the Tower of Rebirth while the Hawk are branded outlaws. A year has passed since Guts left the Hawks and encounter a mysterious skull-faced knight who warns him that he triggered events that will end with a storm of blood. Guts lived with the swordsmith Godo and his daughter Erica before learning that the Band of the Hawk are now wanted outlaws and Casca is their captain, aiding them in fending off Midland's hired Kushan asassin Silat. After Guts learns of Casca's plan to rescue Griffith from the Tower of Rebirth, he ends up being forced to fight her as she blames Guts for Griffith's problems before realizing it was not his fault. The two resolve their issues and consummate their love, Guts telling Casca to leave with him after they save Griffith. Character development and destruction is in full swing. Just when something good happens, something shitty happens. As a Berserk reader at this point, I've come to expect this emotional torture.

That said, I love Berserk, love the volume, will read it again. It is possibly my favorite written work. It is not without flaws but the story has such a living evolution for the characters, narrative, and author, it's amazing in Japanese). Hakusensha. Archived from the original on December 27, 2017 .

i also appreciated, later on, the encounter with schierke and it leading to meeting her mistress and getting a LOT of infos on some fantastic elements they’re stumbling upon (the astral world, mostly, and then the elementals). it felt a little overwhelming at times, all this info being dumped on you, but it definitely feels important and makes sense to be said and condensed at this moment. in Japanese).
