Seminal dark fantasy manga Berserk is set to resume regular serialisation in Young Animal after a long break. Fans are delighted (myself included – I’ve read the whole thing four times), and hopefully we can finally see what happens with regard to Casca…

The issue in question, Young Animal 21, will go on sale on the 24th, at the same time as the 33rd volume of the manga.

Young Animal will also carry a commemorative cover by Hachimitsu to Clover mangaka 羽海野チカ / Chika Umino to mark the occasion.

    Ehhh…i read the last volume and it had so crappy art…designs have mellowed, linework is sloppy, detail is simply not there…he should just finish it already, its obvious he’s not enjoying writing it anymore.

    Last volume is crap. He reached the peak in the insect arc, and then it goes down artistically ever since. The most detailed thing in the last volume is the giant emperor, and you gotta admit it has a pretty simplystic texture.

    I dunno. I think it’s still good, altho not as good as when it first came out.

    I think half the people here are retarded if they think his earlier work was better than the newer stuff.

    the point of good art is not having a ton of detail, but rather to create the illusion of illustrious detail while using the least possible amount of actual lines, there is also over all balance, foreshortening, proportion, movement, and over all flow of the manga to consider.

    anybody can spend hours just shoving in more and more detail, but it takes a genius to take a detailed picture, and have it properly balanced as well.

    the last 100 chapters or so, in my opinion have been some of the most amazing art I’ve seen in manga. (allthough I still say gunnm is superior, everybody is welcome to there own opinion, whether I understand them or not.)

    Yes. Very well said Haru. I liked it as well. Although it had flaws, I still think it is good enough to satisfy his followers.
