Back in the day, Guts the Black Swordsman was a top
slayer for The Band of the Hawk, an elite mercenary unit led by
Griffith, whose calm demeanor and callow beauty belied his fighting
prowess and steel will. While in a king's employ, the attraction
between the king's daughter and Griffith and the growing favor of
the king towards the Hawk leader raises the hackles of the king's
jealous brother, who plots to have Griffith summarily assassinated.
But if the plot fails, the king's brother will likely have to deal
with Guts and his titanic broadsword, and the results of such
confrontations are rarely pretty... or easy to clean up. Each
volume of Berserk comes shrink-wrapped and carries a cover content
advisory. One of the most eagerly anticipated
manga properties in recent years, Berserk was originally published
in Japan and has been serialized in Young Animal Magazine since the
early 1990s. The Berserk manga has been adapted
into a best-selling anime series available from Media
Blasters!
