Berserk has always been a very irregular and a hard to follow series. It’s the intense storyline and magnificent artwork that kept the series alive for so long. With the untimely death of mangaka Kentaro Miura, the faintest hope of Berserk’s revival got extinguished. My heart breaks to say that we may never find out how the journey will end for Guts and all other mysteries that were left unsolved.
Well, if you drop the idea of starting or restarting the series just because it is incomplete, you will be missing out on a lot of quality content. And for the fans who know what I am talking about, we must try subscribing to legal platforms for the remaining chapters to support the production team. Who knows, they may come up with a way to conclude this epic story. Here, we have come up with the legal ways through which you can read Berserk manga.
Where To Read Berserk Manga? Is it Ongoing?
The latest chapter of Berserk titled “Leaping Monkey” was released on September 10, based on the original illustrations left behind by the author. There’s no news of any new chapter ever since that day, and it is presumed that the publisher, Hakusensha, is planning to drop the series. We recommend you either read it from legal sites instead of using pirate websites.
You can just subscribe to Shonen Jump to read the entire series at a reasonable price. If you are an IOS user, you can read it here. If you are an Android user, you can read it here. Other alternatives to buying digital volumes of Berserk include Google Play Books, iBooks, and Kindle. As for paperback versions, you will find them on amazon, Rightstuf, and Things From Another World. You can also search for them in various offline manga stores.

Why Read Berserk Manga?
Now that you know where to read Berserk manga, you must be wondering why you should read it. There’s an anime series available for it, so why go through the effort to read it through. Well, things get a lot more complicated when it comes to Berserk anime. There are three different anime adaptations of Berserk by three different production companies. All of them are too hard to follow even for the manga readers since many vital parts of the manga are cut out.
Moreover, the manga shows the exact story that the author wanted to narrate without any intervention of the production company. The companies often make subtle changes to it. There are masterpiece arcs that have been completely rejected by the studios, thereby causing irreparable gaps in the storyline. So, if you don’t want to miss out on those epic moments, you must give the manga a shot.
Not to mention that the anime adaptation was hugely criticized worldwide for its sloppy animation that doesn’t fit well with the story. The 2016 CG adaptation by studios GEMBA was a huge disappointment, and many fans gave up on the anime adaption for good. Furthermore, the anime production is on indefinite hiatus, so there’s no telling when to expect the sequel.
Will Berserk Manga Ever Return?
There’s hardly any hope of Berserk coming back to panels of manga. Think for yourself, will you read the story if someone else takes charge? No, right? If that ever happens, Berserk will turn into nothing but a series of fan fiction brought together skillfully. To our dismay, there’s no report about any script or draft left behind by Miura, so there’s no way of knowing what plans did he have for Guts.
Anyways, Berserk’s fate is still undecided and is currently on indefinite hiatus. It can only return if Miura’s assistants continue the task that he left incomplete. In one of his recent tweets, they said that they would do their best. I wonder if they were talking about continuing the manga. In any case, it is certain that the manga isn’t coming back anytime soon. So, just be patient and keep checking our page to find out Guts and Griffith’s destiny.
うん、頑張ります
