Description
In Berserk Deluxe Volume 1, journey into a dark and unforgiving world where the infamous mercenary known as Guts, wielding his colossal broadsword with unmatched ferocity, navigates a treacherous landscape filled with both supernatural and human threats. Set in a medieval realm where power is brutally wielded and exploited, Guts's tale unfolds as he battles demons and soldiers alike, driven by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance and survival. As he traverses this nightmarish land, he encounters both deadly foes and unexpected allies, each contributing to the intricate tapestry of his fate.
This deluxe edition brings together the first three volumes of the acclaimed manga series, originally authored by Kentaro Miura. It offers fans and newcomers alike the opportunity to experience this riveting saga in a format that honours the original oversized serialization, heightening the visual and emotional impact of Miura's incomparable artwork.
The deluxe edition is a collector's dream, featuring a luxurious leatherette hardcover with exquisite red foiling, embodying the aesthetic grandeur of the series. A ribbon bookmark complements the opulent design, allowing readers to save their place as they delve into the nearly 700 pages of enthralling content.
Within these pages also lies a showcase of Miura's artistic brilliance, now presented on a larger canvas. The oversized art not only intensifies the gravity of each battle but also accentuates the finer details of the beautifully rendered medieval yet fantastical settings. Fans familiar with the story will find new wonders in this expanded view, while for new readers, this edition serves as an impeccable introduction to the brutal and captivating world of Berserk.
For those who have 'got the Guts' to explore this intricate and harrowing journey, this volume is an essential addition to any collection. Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 is undoubtedly a must-have for mature audiences seeking a deep and compelling narrative accompanied by mesmerizing art. Whether you are completing your collection or stepping into this universe for the first time, prepare to be immersed in the raw intensity and complex storytelling that has captivated audiences worldwide since its inception.

About the Author
While attending college at Nihon University, in 1988, Kentaro Miura debuted a 48-page manga known as Berserk Prototype, an introduction to the current Berserk fantasy world. It went on to win Miura a prize from the Comi Manga School. In 1989, after receiving a doctorate degree, Kentarou started a project titled King of Wolves based on a script by Buronson, writer of Hokuto no Ken (Fist Of The North Star). In 1990, the first volume Berserk was released with a relatively limited success. Miura again collaborated with Buronson on manga entitled Japan. Miura's fame grew after Berserk began "The Golden Age" story arc and the huge success of this masterpiece made of him one of the most prominent contemporary manga artists. In 1997, Miura supervised the production of 25 anime episodes of Berserk that aired in the same year on NTV. The series has also spawned a whole host of merchandise, both official and fan made, ranging from statues and action figures, to key rings, video games, and a trading card game. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. The author lives in Tokyo, Japan.
