Berserk Volume 17

Warrior supreme Guts, the Black Swordsman, has seen better days - and more popular - in the kingdom of Midland, a land he once defended as captain of the Band of the Hawk. But the Hawks were betrayed and slaughtered, and now the hyolier-than-thou Holy Iron Chain Knights have captured Guts and plan to whip some repentance into him - literally.

Description

In Berserk Volume 17, Kentaro Miura continues to weave an intricately dark and captivating tale of vengeance and survival. Our protagonist, Guts, better known as the Black Swordsman, navigates a treacherous path in the kingdom of Midland. Once hailed as a hero and the revered captain of the Band of the Hawk, a brutal betrayal has left Guts an outcast, haunted by the shadows of his past.

Midland is a realm besieged by chaos and supernatural forces, with the very fabric of reality bending under a looming evil. Amidst this turmoil, Guts finds himself at odds with the Holy Iron Chain Knights, a zealous order determined to capture and reform him through merciless means. Yet, the indomitable Guts is not one to be subdued easily. When he orchestrates a daring escape, taking the Knights' leader, Farnese, as a hostage, he unwittingly leads her deeper into a nightmarish journey.

Farnese's rigid beliefs are tested as she confronts the otherworldly horrors attracted by Guts' Brand of Sacrifice. The demonic entities that relentlessly pursue him stir a turmoil within her, unveiling the darkness that lurks in her own soul. As their tumultuous path unfolds, Miura unravels an exploration of the human psyche amidst the backdrop of battle, betrayal, and bloodshed.

Berserk Volume 17 is a masterful blend of gripping narrative and intricate artwork, capturing the relentless struggle of one man's fight against an unimaginable evil. Miura's storytelling is relentless, drawing readers into an epic saga where courage and desire collide with fate's cruel hand. This volume is a testament to Miura's unforgettable universe, offering a visceral experience that invites both new and returning readers into its grim and fantastical 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. The author lives in Tokyo, Japan.
