Berserk author Kentaro Miura dead at 54

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

I just heard. R.I.P. Kentaro Miura

Berserk is my fave manga. It's sad that we'll never know how it would've ended.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Berserk was Grimdark before ASOIAF/GOT was cool.

a lot of people owe kentaro money

dude influenced countless works...

Feel sorry for you brehs who got deep into Breserk. This is my fear with Morikawa and Araki.

I hope he left behind some kind of detailed treatment for somebody to complete. The only person who could match his level of detail would be Murata.

I watched the 96 og version and told people that's one of the best stories told on a TV show. I didn't want to get into the maga because it was unfinished. The irony RIP

to be honest if Muira did leave behind details of how the story ends I'd rather read it as a novel. Can't see the manga itself continuing Muira's style was his own Just like Takehiko inoue or Oda, the art style would be hard to copy. and don't even get me started on the amount of detail

Is there any news on if they will continue with the series?

 

[BillBanneker]

Crazy, just started really getting into it (bought some of the deluxe editions) after sleeping on Berserk His art work was crazy. RIP, and thanks Kentaro Miura

I haven’t heard anything but I’m curious as to how it possibly could continue. I believe that the people that worked beside Kentaro can possibly carry the mantle but may not do so simply out of respect for the work he did.

Do yourself a favor and pick up the manga. The 97 anime left some things out, incredible incredible read

They gotta make an exception to that, he worked on this shyt for over 30 years, I refuse to believe that he would want his death to cliff hang the story like that. At the same time if he didn't have like at least another volume listed out then continuing the story is gonna come with the risk of high scrutiny if they fukk up.

Really sad news

RIP.

One of his assistants writing " yeah I'll do my best".. Seems like Berserk might continue?

 

[zerorequiem]

I feel out of respect they should leave it alone. It was his life's work. Now if Miura was grooming someone else to take over that could be different. But personally I'm at peace with the manga ending.

And that is the thing: Berserk is held in such high regard that his assistants would be under massive pressure to continue the legacy of Berserk. I myself want to see this go forward but not at the expense of the people surrounding it being overwhelmed and overworked because of the expectations.
