The admittedly horrific scenes depicted result, in the short- and long-term, in a story about healing from the unjust traumas inflicted by an unforgiving world and learning to trust people again, as well as an emotional theme of found family. However, what started as a compellingly grim and blood-curdling revenge epic evolved, along with Miura, into an inspiring story of humanity’s indomitable spirit and sheer force of will when at its best. The punishing things that happen do ultimately serve the story’s resonating themes of trauma, systematic corruption, religious fanaticism, and societal inequality, but the earlier portions of the manga show scenes that fall into gratuitousness. Berserk is relentless, for better and worse. It’s even more graphic than HBO’s Game of Thrones, unabashedly putting the horrors of a bleak, dark world front and center. From blood-boiling revenge to an inspiring force of willīerserk is simultaneously one of the easiest manga to recommend and one to warn people about with a disclaimer.
