Berserk Manga Set To Return In October 2024

Key Takeaways

  • Berserk manga will resume on October 25, 2024, and another chapter on November 8, 2024, following Miura’s passing.
  • Kouji Mori continues Berserk after Miura’s death due to health issues and plans to conclude the story.
  • Berserk’s influence extends to other manga authors such as Isayama and Yukimura, as well as video games like Dark Souls.

As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless manga series, I can confidently say that Berserk stands tall among the greats. Its return after Miura’s passing is not just a testament to the power of storytelling but also to the camaraderie between artists. The fact that Kouji Mori, his childhood friend, took over the project brings a sense of nostalgia and anticipation.


Kentarou Miura’s renowned manga, “Berserk“, is considered one of the most critically praised comics ever created. Since Miura’s demise, completing the tale has been entrusted to Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga.

The manga has stuck to its inconsistent publication pattern, leaving fans with long gaps between chapters. Fortunately, the wait is almost over as Berserk will resume on October 25, 2024, in Young Animal Issue 21/2024. Even better, another chapter of Berserk is expected next month, slated for release on November 8, 2024, in the 22/2024 issue of Young Animal.

Miura’s Death And Mori’s Takeover

Miura’s Childhood Friend Took Over The Project

Berserk is recognized for its extended hiatuses, primarily due to Miura’s health concerns. Given the immense effort he poured into writing and illustrating each chapter, it’s not unexpected that he faced health problems. With Miura’s sudden passing in 2021, fans feared the manga would never reach its end. However, Kouji Mori, creator of Holyland, announced that the manga will carry on after Miura’s death.

Beyond his acclaimed status as a manga author, Kouji Mori held a special bond with Miura, being his closest friend. Often discussing the intricacies of ‘Berserk’, Mori gained valuable insights about concluding the tale.

In 2022, Kouji Mori assumed the role of main contributor, yet only a few issues of the manga have been published so far. It’s anticipated that Berserk might occasionally pause its publication, but it’s expected to eventually wrap up its storyline. Readers will strive to remain hopeful and pray for Berserk to become more regular with its releases.
