This is a study of the epic fantasy comic Berserk by Kentaro Miura, one of the greatest works of art in print form of any era. Berserk is a best-selling fantasy adventure manga in Japan and overseas. It has been published (in Young Animal Magazine from Hakusensha) since 1989 and is still not complete.

Berserk is notable for its truly outstanding artwork and its compelling storytelling, centred on its brooding swordsman, Guts. Berserk is an entire history of the action-adventure genre; it features every permutation of every scenario found in action-based stories.

This book also examines the animated adaptations of Kentaro Miura's Berserk saga, starting with the animé series of 1997-1998, through the movies of 2012-2013, up to the latest TV series of 2016-2017.

In addition, there is a chapter on Miura's early manga (such as Japan and King of Wolves); and a biography of Miura, and appendices looking at some of Miura's influences.

Fully illustrated with over 250 illustrations, including images from Kentaro Miura's other manga, from the anime productions, and from all of the Berserk comic.
