But that wouldn’t convey the scenes that Miura described to me, or the lines of Guts and Griffith… “‘The staff are saying they will finish the last chapter that was left behind, so can you take a look?’” You didn’t have to be a Berserk fan to mourn the untimely passing of Kentaro Miura, the creator/writer/artist responsible for one of the most popular—and bloodiest—fantasy sagas in manga.

Close friend of Kentaro Miura says he's known how the series would end for almost 30 years. Fans around the world were heartbroken last year when manga artist ...

“Still, I think I can almost tell the story that Miura wanted to tell…Many of you may not be fully satisfied with the Berserk written without Miura, but we hope everyone’s thoughts will be with us.” “I thought, if I run away now, Miura would say ‘I talked to you about it so much, but you didn’t do it!!’”, and so Mori will serve as supervisor for the remainder of the series. That in turn led to the decision to resume Berserk’s serialization and see it through to its planned conclusion, which Mori hopes would please his friend. “Nearly 30 years ago, Miura called me and said, ‘I need to talk to you about drawing a rough draft,’” Mori recalls. The publisher has also found plot memos and character design drafts that Miura had written and drawn to be used in upcoming chapters. Given the unique artistic and storytelling style of Berserk, fans may be apprehensive of anyone other than Miura drawing and writing it.
