| Wallpaper Description: |
Berserk (ベルセルク, Beruseruku?) is a Dark fantasy manga by mangaka Kentaro Miura.[1]
With over 29 million volumes sold, it is one of the most successful adult manga ever. Berserk's setting is inspired by medieval Europe. It centers around the life of Guts, an orphaned mercenary warrior, and his relationship to Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk (鷹の団, Taka no Dan?). Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence and nudity.
Currently, 31 tankōbon and a total of 281 chapters of the manga have been published in Japan.
Berserk manga
Miura first premiered Berserk in 1988 with a 48-page prototype, which won a prize at the Comi Manga School where he was enrolled at the time. On 26 November 1990, the first volume of the manga was published by Hakusensha in its Jets Comics collection. Three more volumes appeared until Berserk was serialized by Young Animal (Hakusensha) in 1992, and new episodes are still being released in the semi-monthly (every second and fourth Friday of the month) magazine. Volumes are still published biannually in Japan by Hakusensha (Jets Comics collection), and contain 8-11 episodes depending on the release.
In America, the manga is translated and published by Dark Horse Comics, which has released fourteen volumes so far, the first in October 22, 2003. As with other Dark Horse manga releases like Hellsing or Trigun Maximum, the Japanese reading format from right to left is preserved in the English release and the sound effects are left untranslated. However, since volume 12, Dark Horse has started providing sound effects translations in Berserk.
In Europe, the manga was introduced back in 1996, first in France (Samourai Editions), then in Italy (Planet Comics) few months later. The manga has also been translated and released in Germany (Planet Manga) since 2001. In France, after Samourai Editions' bankruptcy, the comic series is now published by both Dynamic Visions (since 2002) and Glénat (since 2004), the latter edition being a larger format. A two-books-in-one Max edition (+400 pages) is also published in Germany since 2006 (Panini Comics).
In Asia, Berserk comic books have been published in Korea since 1999 by Dai Won.
In Latin America, Panini Comics has published the manga series in a demi-sized (120 pages) edition in Brazil (2004).
