Summary
he century-spanning war between Midland and Chuder continues unabated。 The two warring kingdoms， vying for supremacy， launch headfirst into what will become the final battle。 Leading the Midland forces are the Band of the Hawk， lead by the charismatic Griffith， with the fearless Guts as his trusted champion。 But should the Hawks triumph again on the battlefield， the war with Chuder may end， but the secret war within Midland may begin as those who seek to rise within the court see the ambitious Griffith as an obstacle to obtaining power。 And nothing is more formidable than an enemy unseen！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Pasa a ser el mejor hasta el momento。 El final de la batalla de Doldrey， el intento de envenenamiento a Griffith y la partida de Guts con ese duelo final， esto es demasiado épico aunque tenga una parte significativa de trama lenta de Corte， me ha tenido enganchado a las hojas a pesar de tener más texto， pero es que vaya diálogos。 Nota: 9/10

Awesome。This was probably the volume with less violence so far and still it was amazing。 A lot of story and development， Griffith gets closer and closer to his dream but not everybody is happy。 I love when mangakas are able to fill their volumes with so much story and make it look like it's not much。 It flows perfectly， even here where most of the time is spend with talking and scheming。Guts keeps developing as a character and i love him， i love how much he grew since this arc started。 Casca bes Awesome。This was probably the volume with less violence so far and still it was amazing。 A lot of story and development， Griffith gets closer and closer to his dream but not everybody is happy。 I love when mangakas are able to fill their volumes with so much story and make it look like it's not much。 It flows perfectly， even here where most of the time is spend with talking and scheming。Guts keeps developing as a character and i love him， i love how much he grew since this arc started。 Casca best girl， another character tha grew and changed so much since we meet her and the funny thing is that she doesn't even realize。 Volume 8 showed more of her and that's always a plus。Overall: That ending man！！！！！！ JESUS！！！！ Incredible volume， juts like the previous 7。 。。。more

Oh god this has to be my favorite volume yet。 There’s a lot more character work and intrigue here， and this is where I finally fell completely into the 5/5 camp， because I’m loving it。 Literal goosebumps while reading the ending。

Volume strepitoso， che si apre con la conclusione della battaglia e delle vicende dei numeri precedenti， aggiungendo altro mistero intorno ad una figura oscura che aiuta Gatsu dall'ombra。I piani di Grifis e dell'armata dei falchi sono sempre più ambiziosi， ma non c'è limite al puntare in alto。Tuttavia la parte davvero strepitosa del volume inizia con la seconda parte， con la scelta di Gatsu ed il focus introspettivo sui personaggi， su quanto siano cambiati e quanto le loro stesse ambizioni， paur Volume strepitoso， che si apre con la conclusione della battaglia e delle vicende dei numeri precedenti， aggiungendo altro mistero intorno ad una figura oscura che aiuta Gatsu dall'ombra。I piani di Grifis e dell'armata dei falchi sono sempre più ambiziosi， ma non c'è limite al puntare in alto。Tuttavia la parte davvero strepitosa del volume inizia con la seconda parte， con la scelta di Gatsu ed il focus introspettivo sui personaggi， su quanto siano cambiati e quanto le loro stesse ambizioni， paure e legami si siano modificati nel corso di questi otto numeri。Una scelta magistrale da parte dell'autore che apre inevitabilmente la strada ad un nuovo ciclo di Berserk。 Inondando di speranze e curiosità i lettori。 。。。more

In the wake of Kentaro Miura’s death at the beginning of this month， I’ve taken some time to really stop and appreciate all of the detail in Berserk。 The stunning artwork pulled me into the manga at the beginning， but after watching the ‘97 anime， I really got the gist of the golden age arc and was excited to see what’s next。 I found myself almost speeding through these exquisite panels just because I knew what was happening and what would happen。 It wasn’t until halfway through this volume that In the wake of Kentaro Miura’s death at the beginning of this month， I’ve taken some time to really stop and appreciate all of the detail in Berserk。 The stunning artwork pulled me into the manga at the beginning， but after watching the ‘97 anime， I really got the gist of the golden age arc and was excited to see what’s next。 I found myself almost speeding through these exquisite panels just because I knew what was happening and what would happen。 It wasn’t until halfway through this volume that I realized my error and slowed down to enjoy what was put before me。 While those feelings I mentioned about the Golden Age Arc still remain true， Miura’s untimely passing has hit me a lot harder than I’d expected and I’m not in nearly as much of a rush to get caught up on a series that will now never see an ending。 Everyone joked that they’ll die before Berserk is ever finished， but now the laughs are gone and it’s just pain。 Cherish what you love， you never know how long you’ll have it before it’s gone。 On a different note， I think we should remove Shakespeare from the modern education system and replace it with Berserk， because this manga has just as compelling human drama with infinitely cooler plot structure and epic sword fights。 You can’t flip through one of these volumes and tell me that they’re not dripping with subtext and incredibly rich characters。 Just my two cents。 。。。more

What a note to end on。 I can't help but think of the way in which "Morning of Departure" mirrors Shane （1958）， with Casca calling out after Guts and him refusing to look back。Beyond the exciting showdown at the beginning of the volume， political intrigue later on， and extremely satisfying character development payoffs， this volume also continues to elaborate Griffith's point， which is in turn （for now） Mirua's point， the court and the battlefield are no different and the plotting and planning of What a note to end on。 I can't help but think of the way in which "Morning of Departure" mirrors Shane （1958）， with Casca calling out after Guts and him refusing to look back。Beyond the exciting showdown at the beginning of the volume， political intrigue later on， and extremely satisfying character development payoffs， this volume also continues to elaborate Griffith's point， which is in turn （for now） Mirua's point， the court and the battlefield are no different and the plotting and planning of nobles should imperil them the same way soldiers on the battlefield are imperiled。While we are asked to consider the place of the soldier in the world of peace by Judeau's comments to Guts， the promise of the world Griffith might create would make that place more clear。 But， it seems like the apocalyptic future to which we are headed suggests such a world may not be desirable after all。 The world in which Guts can find camaraderie， friendship， and family is an uncompromising and brutal one。 "I can't do anything but swing my sword。" 。。。more

This might be my favourite volume。 I don't know。 I change often。 Such brilliant storytelling。 Berserk is not perfect。 At times it is downright stupid （Speaking of Puck and Isidro。 God， I want them to burn in fire）。 But when it's at its best， it is truly a work of art。 This volume is so， so sad。 （And also so， so gay。 Like， whoa。 Veeeeery gay。 It gets me every damn time。）So much symbolism and foreshadowing is woven into the narrative here。 It's amazing stuff。 This might be my favourite volume。 I don't know。 I change often。 Such brilliant storytelling。 Berserk is not perfect。 At times it is downright stupid （Speaking of Puck and Isidro。 God， I want them to burn in fire）。 But when it's at its best， it is truly a work of art。 This volume is so， so sad。 （And also so， so gay。 Like， whoa。 Veeeeery gay。 It gets me every damn time。）So much symbolism and foreshadowing is woven into the narrative here。 It's amazing stuff。 。。。more

Alrighty， so this marks the end of the first chunk。 There is so much that's whirring in my head， but I have no idea how to translate it into words。 First off， is that I have so many questions for the person who recommended this to me。 Genuinely， I have never seen so much gore， rape， and murder packed into a couple hundred pages。 Miura really outdid himself。 Gore aside， this series is really well-developed。 There is so much underlying each character I don't even know which to dissect first。 I gen Alrighty， so this marks the end of the first chunk。 There is so much that's whirring in my head， but I have no idea how to translate it into words。 First off， is that I have so many questions for the person who recommended this to me。 Genuinely， I have never seen so much gore， rape， and murder packed into a couple hundred pages。 Miura really outdid himself。 Gore aside， this series is really well-developed。 There is so much underlying each character I don't even know which to dissect first。 I genuinely first shipped Griffin and Guts， but I take that ship back。 Griffin is lowkey an ass in my books， and Guts does not need that kinda bullshit。 However， the actual ship in the books is really cute， and I genuinely do ship those two （although I have a bad feeling I shouldn't get totally invested， something feels like it's going to go south pretty quick）。 But as far as characters go， Guts is a very interesting one。 I'm not really sure how Miura transitioned from the present to the past （a couple of books ago）， but I can't help but wonder how much worse it's going to get for the man so that we can get to the present storyline。 Especially for him to have changed so much。 I'll admit， thematically the book seemed a little juvenile at the start， with the way Puck was spelling out the 'darkness' in Guts in a somewhat child-like manner。 However， I think the idea of dreams （and purpose） that Miura has woven into the next couple of books was really interesting。 I'll admit I've been zooming through this series so I'm a little less versed on what messages Miura might have been trying to weave into the story。 The art， on the other hand， is not my cup of tea。 There's something that's very rough about it。 However， I think that it works very well for this story。 Miura does not skimp on the gore and the details to make the scenery and its characters viler in appearance。 Plot-wise， I am sold。 I literally don't want to finish any of my work， because that is how hooked I am at this point。 If anything， I'm worried， because I can feel the wind going colder and it feels like the plot is about to go real sad south soon。 （especially if the first two novels were any indication of the present）。 。。。more

Dang。 This was emotional。 We got to see Griffith's inner thoughts and his desire for Gatts to stay。 Though even if the dialogues weren't there， Miura's illustrations explained everything。 Also， Corkus's speech was unexpectedly clever。 Dang。 Dang。 This was emotional。 We got to see Griffith's inner thoughts and his desire for Gatts to stay。 Though even if the dialogues weren't there， Miura's illustrations explained everything。 Also， Corkus's speech was unexpectedly clever。 Dang。 。。。more

Per me un amico è qualcuno che non si affida mai al sogno di un altro， non accetta costrizioni da nessuno。 Persegue da solo lo scopo della propria vita， e se qualcuno disonorasse il suo sogno， per difenderlo combatterebbe dedicandovisi anima e corpo… anche se quel qualcuno fossi io。 Per me è un amico è così… penso che sia "un uomo uguale a me"。Guts ha preso la sua decisione， con serenità e senza rimpianti。 Le ultime scene sono tra le più belle che ho letto nel manga。 Per me un amico è qualcuno che non si affida mai al sogno di un altro， non accetta costrizioni da nessuno。 Persegue da solo lo scopo della propria vita， e se qualcuno disonorasse il suo sogno， per difenderlo combatterebbe dedicandovisi anima e corpo… anche se quel qualcuno fossi io。 Per me è un amico è così… penso che sia "un uomo uguale a me"。Guts ha preso la sua decisione， con serenità e senza rimpianti。 Le ultime scene sono tra le più belle che ho letto nel manga。 。。。more
