Berserk Volume 25

Guts the Black Swordsman, on his way to his miniature pal Puck's homeland of Elfhelm, Guts and his companions, at the behest of a local witch, assist a village beset by a plague of deadly trolls. They manage to turn the tide against the beasts, but when a monstrous ogre hits town, a tide of another kind is needed, a flood to wash the town clean.

Description

In the thrilling saga of Berserk Volume 25, Kentaro Miura continues to weave an intricate tapestry of dark fantasy, brutality, and emotional depth. Guts, known as the Black Swordsman, is ever in search of peace, yet fate perpetually dictates otherwise. As he travels towards the serene refuge of Elfhelm — the mythical home of his diminutive yet spirited companion Puck — his journey is once again fraught with peril and adversity.

On this turbulent path, Guts and his loyal entourage are enlisted by a local witch to aid a beleaguered village plagued by ferocious trolls. These formidable adversaries bring destruction and death, leaving devastation in their wake. However, hope arises as they receive guidance and assistance from Schierke, a young and powerful witch apprentice. Together, they bravely confront these malevolent creatures, rallying against impossible odds to protect the innocent.

As the tide turns in favour of the defenders, a far more formidable threat emerges, further testing the resolve and unity of Guts and his companions. A monstrous ogre descends upon the village, demanding a different kind of solution—a powerful mystic flood—to cleanse the area of its malignant invaders. Despite their efforts, the unexpected chaos soon spirals out of control, sweeping away Casca and Farnese, and leaving them at the mercy of the merciless shadows.

Now captives in the foreboding lair of the trolls, Casca and Farnese face an unspeakable fate, one that could shatter their spirits beyond repair. With tension mounting and time running out, this gripping volume challenges the boundaries between hope and despair, loyalty and betrayal, as Guts battles against darkness—not just from overwhelming foes outside, but from within his own haunted soul.

Berserk Volume 25 offers an intense narrative that combines masterful storytelling with breath-taking artwork, ensuring readers are kept on the edge of their seats. Miura's compelling illustration of the eternal struggle between light and shadow resonates deeply, leaving a profound impression that lingers long after the final page is turned.

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.
