Immerse yourself in the gripping and darkly imaginative world of Berserk Deluxe Volume 12, crafted by the masterful Kentaro Miura, with translation by Duane Johnson. The story delves into the iconic chaos and intrigue that have come to define adult fantasy/horror manga, presenting fans and newcomers alike with an experience that is both haunting and exhilarating.

This deluxe edition continues the saga in grand oversized hardcover format, encapsulating volumes 34 to 36. Readers are treated to the original oversized serialization format, ensuring that the intricacies of Miura's art are displayed with breathtaking clarity. Adding to this edition's collectible nature are three stunning fold-out posters that beautifully capture the raw and visceral atmosphere of this epic tale.

In the forefront of the narrative, Griffith's newly reborn Band of the Hawk takes centre stage, their unholy transformations setting the battlefield ablaze as they confront the formidable Kushan emperor and his legion of demons. Amidst this turmoil, the citizens of Midland grapple with terror and uncertainty, questioning whether their supposed saviours might indeed be harbingers of yet another gruesome fate.

Simultaneously, Guts, the Black Swordsman, alongside his loyal companions, seeks respite from the horrors of war by retreating to a seemingly tranquil island. However, sanctuary proves elusive as they encounter the ominous presence of an ancient, vengeful deity. As tensions rise, the crew must navigate the perilous intricacies of their new environment, where the true nature of safety and threat remains perilously blurred.

This volume is a compelling addition to the Berserk saga, deftly blending epic battles, complex characters, and a narrative depth that fans have come to anticipate. Whether you're a long-time follower or a newcomer to the series, Berserk Deluxe Volume 12 promises to deliver an unforgettable experience within the richly woven tapestry of its world.

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.
