Current Berserk Team Discuss the Struggles of Continuing Manga After Kentaro Miura's Death

The current team behind the Berserk manga feels that they are doing Kentaro Miura proud by continuing his story.

The team that is currently creating the new arc of the Berserk manga admits it was hard continuing without the original creator.

The fantasy manga was created and headed up by Kentaro Miura, who sadly passed away in 2021. Many fans felt that Berserk's story would end with his passing. However, many of Miura's close friends and the manga studio decided that it would be best to continue Berserk to honor his legacy.

The Return of Guts and Berserk

Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga are responsible for the most recent arcs in Berserk, including the newest arc that just started. In an interview with Asahi, Mori noted that the team felt it might be too hard to continue on without Miura. However, Mori then felt that if he didn't do it, a certain someone might not be too happy: "I thought maybe I could do it. I thought Miura would be angry that I didn't do anything, so I made the decision."

Once the decision was made, he went to Studio Gaga, and they had a meeting to further determine what to do next and how to proceed with the story in a way that would make the late Miura proud: "During the three- to four-hour meeting, I explained the development to Studio Gaga staff. Afterward, I exchanged personal messages with the chief. I give advice on drafts, but the final drawings are the work of Studio Gaga. The drawing skills of our staff, including Chief Kurosaki-kun, are extraordinary. I believe that after they complete Berserk, they will become artists who will leave their mark on the manga world."
