Today Is A Very Big Day For Berserk Fans

by

After the unfortunate and sudden passing of Kentarou Miura, readers anticipated that the “Berserk” manga might take an extended break. Given that Miura was the mastermind behind Berserk, it wasn’t surprising for fans to assume that the manga could not proceed without him.

As an observer, I might rephrase it as follows: Kouji Mori, Miura’s closest friend, was the one who took up the project, having shared the intended conclusion with him. He pledged his allegiance to Miura’s vision, and through his dedication and Studio Gaga’s efforts, Berserk continues to unveil fresh chapters.

Berserk Manga Has Sold More Than 70 Million Copies

Berserk Is One Of The Most Popular Series

There’s no doubt about it, the Berserk manga has reached an impressive milestone by selling over 70 million copies. This places it among the most popular manga series ever created, a testament to its enduring appeal and the passion of its fanbase. For further details on this remarkable accomplishment, please see the breakdown provided below:

  • Berserk has sold 40 million copies in Japan
  • It has sold 30 million copies around the rest of the world

Based on current sales figures, the English version of Berserk has sold approximately 9 million copies. In contrast, the French and Italian versions have each sold around 8 million and 5 million, respectively. What sets Berserk apart is that it’s one of the rare manga series with a poorly received anime adaptation. The 1997 version is the only adaptation worth watching, as subsequent CGI adaptations failed to meet fan expectations and left them feeling disappointed.

Berserk Deserves A Better Anime Adaptation

Berserk’s Anime Adapt Should Be Handled By An Experienced Studio

Despite its significant influence on various games such as Dark Souls, Sekiro, Final Fantasy, Dragon’s Dogma, and others, the epic manga series Berserk has yet to receive a high-quality adaptation. There hasn’t been any news about a new adaptation, but fans are optimistic that a well-known studio like ufotable might take on the project due to their impressive work on Demon Slayer. However, given that ufotable is currently working on two more Demon Slayer movies, it seems unlikely they’ll be able to tackle Berserk anytime soon.

Despite its considerable impact on numerous games, the influential manga series Berserk hasn’t yet received a solid adaptation. Although there are no updates about a new adaptation, fans hope that a renowned studio like ufotable could be involved, due to their excellent work on Demon Slayer. However, since ufotable is currently busy with two more Demon Slayer movies, it seems improbable they’d be able to handle Berserk in the near future.

Previously mentioned, the mediocre animation adaption of Berserk seems to limit its potential against top-tier series within the industry. For now, enthusiasts might want to revisit the manga or watch the 1997 anime version until a fresh adaptation is announced.

Berserk is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
