Fans of the acclaimed Berserk manga series have reason to celebrate. After a three-month hiatus, the series is set to release a new chapter on February 14, 2025. This announcement was made in the third issue of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine, bringing excitement to readers worldwide.
The previous chapter was published on November 8, 2024, leaving fans eager for the next installment. The upcoming chapter is expected to go deeper into the narrative, continuing the journey of Guts and his companions in the dark fantasy world that has grabbed audiences for decades.
Continuation Under New Leadership
Following the passing of creator Kentarō Miura in May 2021, the future of Berserk was uncertain. However, in June 2022, the series resumed under the supervision of Miura’s close friend, Kouji Mori, and the dedicated efforts of Studio Gaga, Miura’s team of assistants and apprentices. This collaboration has ensured that the story progresses in line with Miura’s original vision.
The 42nd volume, the first compiled book since the series’ continuation, was released in Japan in September 2023. Dark Horse Comics is set to publish the English version on March 18, 2025, marking the first English release in nearly three years. This volume promises to be a significant addition to the series, offering new developments and challenges for the protagonists.
Looking Ahead
As the series moves forward, fans are eager to see how the narrative unfolds under the new creative team. The commitment of Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori to honor Miura’s legacy has been evident in the recent chapters, maintaining the intricate storytelling and detailed artwork that Berserk is known for.
The upcoming chapter on February 14 is highly anticipated, with readers speculating on the challenges and revelations that await Guts and his allies. The series’ return is not just a continuation of a story but a testament to the enduring impact of Miura’s work and the dedication of those who strive to keep his vision alive.
