Berserk manga resumed serialization by publishing two chapters, 365 and 366, in issue #13 of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine on June 24, 2022. And it seems that fans of the series who were eagerly or skeptically waiting for the post Miura era of the Berserk manga were not disappointed.

Berserk started trending on Twitter in no time, as many were impressed with the artwork and the plot progression in the two chapters.

They especially took note of and praised the face off between Guts and Griffith and also the surprising arrival of Nosferatu Zodd at the end of chapter 366.

Guts’ futile attempts to kill Griffith are absolutely amazing man, while he’s accepted the fact that Casca may want to move on, he simply can’t.

Two beautiful chapters, the ending was amazing.#BERSERK #berserk365 #berserk366 pic.twitter.com/tFKKKBRFCg

While there was a slight change in the designs of characters from the Miura era, there was a general consensus among the Berserk faithful that Studio Gaga had done an impressive job handling them.

I actually found a leaked pic from the latest chapter of Berserk 365 that most of the internet hasn’t seen yet. It’s not much of a spoiler but it’s interesting to see Studio Gaga’s drawing of Casca. pic.twitter.com/Os15Gybabv

For many fans, the skepticism that they may have harbored is no longer there, as they believe that Berserk manga is in the right hands with Kouji Mori supervising it and Studio Gaga working on the finer details.

I am so incredibly optimistic about Berserk's future. Chapters 365 and 366 look absolutely wonderful. This is totally surreal in the best possible way.

However, though the quality of artwork was high, some fans did accept that there was a difference in quality and were of the opinion that it was not as good as that of Miura. Some chimed in saying that Berserk chapters 365 and 366 came with adjustments, that were done to make up for the gulf, albeit a small one, in detailing.

Just finished chapter 365 and 366 of Berserk. It moved me to tears seeing how good it looks and how talented they are. Yes there is a difference, but this was a lot better than expected. Berserk is in good hands 🙏 Can't wait for more chapters, I am so relieved right now💙

To compensate for fine detailing there's a LOT of screentones which I hope as chaps go by they can tone them down a notch or two cause it is very distracting to try and follow, as Miura used quite subtle screentones that didn't stand out as often

There are slight changes in art style but overall it still feels like that Miura himself drew these chapters. Thank you Kentaro Miura, thank you @morichankenchan and thank you studio gaga! I'm so glad to have my manga back!! #berserkspoilers #berserk365 #berserk366 pic.twitter.com/ycpwnpnxW4

Berserk 365 and 366 – The art is still so good. I feel like I can tell it’s not Miura in some aspects but it’s totally 95% of the way there. Not much dialogue, but cool chapters. Feels so surreal to get new Berserk content and I think the team is doing a stellar job pic.twitter.com/EWL9dHgZHF

The next chapter of the manga releases in two week’s time.

On June 7, 2022, the editorial department of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine and Kouji Mori had released a statement saying that Kentaro Miura’s magnum opus will resume serialization. The manga is being supervised by Miura’s long time friend and fellow mangaka, Mori, and is worked on by Miura’s studio, Studio Gaga, which comprises of his assistants and apprentices.

Berserk now has the credits, “Original work by Kentarou Miura, manga by Studio Gaga, supervised by Kouji Mori.”

The statement also said that a new arc will begin once the Elf Island arc concludes.

Tokyo Ghoul author Sui Ishida had made a Guts illustration to commemorate the return of Berserk manga.

Kentarou Miura first published a one-shot version of Berserk manga in Hakusensha’s Monthly Comicomi magazine in 1988. He later launched the Berserk manga in Hakusensha’s Monthly Animal House magazine in 1989 which later continued in Young Animal magazine till date.

The manga has 40 million plus copies in circulation.

The manga further inspired a TV anime series in 1997 and a trilogy of movies from 2012 to 2013. A re-edited version of the Berserk: Golden Age Arc trilogy movies will be broadcast on TV as ‘Berserk: Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition‘ in 2022. It will be first time the trilogy will be broadcast on TV.
