Berserk (manga)
is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura. Set in a medieval Europe-inspired dark fantasy world, the story centers on the characters of Guts, a lone mercenary, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk. Themes of isolation, camaraderie, and the question of whether humanity is fundamentally good or evil pervade the story, as it explores both the best and worst of human nature. Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence.
Miura premiered a prototype of ''Berserk'' in 1988. The first volume of the manga was published on November 26, 1990 by Hakusensha in its Jets Comics collection. In 1992, after the publication of three more volumes, ''Berserk'' began serialization in ''Young Animal''. The series was adapted into a twenty-five episode anime series covering the series' first story arc by Oriental Light and Magic from October 7, 1997 to March 31, 1998. A series of films, ''Berserk: The Golden Age Arc'', were released beginning in 2012.
==Plot==
is a wandering warrior who is taken in one day by the under its leader Griffith and becomes his right-hand while making a name as their group's renowned raid leader. After encountering a monstrous man known as Nosferatu Zodd who spared them out of destiny they are to fulfill, the Hawks play a pivotal role in ending the 100-year war that has ravaged the country of Midland and are initially welcomed as heroes. But Griffith's aspirations to rule his own kingdom are shattered when Guts leaves the Hawks to find his own dream. Unable to cope with the loss, Griffith seduces the King's daughter Charlotte and ends up in the dungeon for a year. By the time Guts learns of this and helps the outlawed remnants of the Hawks rescue him, Griffith has been horribly mutilated and rendered a mute shadow of his former self. The weight of knowing his body being too damaged for him to fulfill his dreams proves too much for Griffith as he accidentally activates the behelit on his person. This brings the Hawks to another plane where they encounter archdemons known as the God Hand. Urged onward by the eldritch beings, Griffith sacrifices his soldiers to the God Hand's apostles—humans like Zodd who sacrificed their loved ones and humanity for power—so that he can become the God Hand's final member. After witnessing the brutal slaughter of their comrades, though he and the latter are saved from certain death by the mysterious Skull Knight, Guts loses an arm and an eye while his lover Casca distraught by the carnage and then being brutally raped by the reborn Griffith. Leaving Casca in the care of Rickert, a survivor of the Band of the Hawk who was not spirited into Astral Plane, and the blacksmith Godo, Guts begins hunting down Apostles in search of revenge against Griffith, though his Brand of Sacrifice made him a target for restless spirits that hunt him nightly.
Years after beginning his journey, joined by the elf Puck whose company he eventually accepts, Guts is later reunited with Casca as she is about to be burned as a witch in the city of St. Albion. There, encountering Farnese of the Holy See Church's Holy Iron Chain Knights, Guts finds himself going through a nightmarish ordeal that ends in Griffith's physical form restored. As Guts takes Casca to the Elven realm of Elfhelm for sanctuary with the help of his new companions, Griffith creates a second Band of the Hawk with Zodd and other Apostles among its ranks to battle the invading Kushan army. The war between Griffith and the Kushan emperor, a rogue apostle, climaxes with the emperor's destruction and the overlapping of the mortal realm and the supernatural. No longer challenged by demon or man, Griffith establishes his rule over Midland with the endorsement of the Pope and Princess Charlotte, creating the city of Falconia to provide the Midlanders with refuge from the ever-increasing attacks of mythical beasts.
