The Berserk manga is still ongoing.

Kentaro Miura was born in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, in 1966. At the early age of 10, Miura made his first manga, entitled Miuranger, which was published for his classmates in a school publication. The manga ended up spanning 40 volumes. Later in 1985, he made his professional manga debut with the “Futatabi…” (Once More…) story in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine.

In 1988, while working for Buronson in a project titled Orō, Miura published a prototype of Berserk in Hakusensha’s Gekkan ComiComi which placed 2nd at the 7th ComiComi’s Manga-School prize. After that, the serialization of Berserk began in Hakusensha’s Monthly Animal House from 1989.

During his final years Miura dedicated himself solely to work on Berserk. Now, with his passing, the future of the manga would be affected gravely.
