Onetime Berserk mangaka and current full time NicoNico Douga maniac Kentaro Miura has revealed an ever deepening obsession with the cult online video sharing service, but one which has changed direction and now centres on popular eroge and ecchi anime Koihime Musou.
Here we see the progress of his condition tracked by his contents comments, published in Young Animal:
“Since I became an obsessive Nico maniac (Nico-chuu in Internet parlance), I no longer want to watch TV at all. Apart from human rights and Tibet, I haven’t a clue what’s going on in the world.”
“The final episode of my beloved NovelsM@ster!? I’ve been getting lonely, so I bought an Xbox and IdolMaster, hehehe.”
“With the Three Kingdoms boom, I’m totally lost in Shin-Koihime Musou.”
Via Ore-teki.
Whilst this choice of obsession may have won him praise for his good taste, there is sharply increasing concern that he will no longer be taking his magnum opus seriously…

At this rate, Berserk will never be over.
that bastard needs to get his ass in gear before people start sending him death threats.
at least we still have Ubel blatt to fulfill are gore and ecchi needs
Soon Ubel Blatt will surpass Berserk.
hahahaha, funny joke. too bad nothing has surpassed berserk.
**THIS IS MADNESS!
*cough*
A rough, future reference that I ought to bring out.
I'm not really a fan of Kentaro, but I DO understand him.
By being an Eroge Otaku, yes.
Damn it. He needs a girl. maybe that will not help in continuing his manga, but at least he will not degrade further!
yes, that's just what he needs.
now that he's already corrupted, it's about time that he starts inviting other people to join him in his nico downward spiral.
so true
Well, he got it. A harem of 2D girls.
One step backward for a manga masterpiece, but one step forward for 40+ year-old otaku mania acceptance?
I can't help wondering what things may be like in another 20 or 30 years. How many people anime/manga/H has hooked today will remain interested in it as time goes on, how the industry may adapt if this happens (more older characters & circumstances, but still drawn/voiced moe and hot?)...
the characters won't get older... that would defeat the point of liking them
might aswell just like 3D if you want old
What about the youthful body / mature mind archetype?
Maybe I'm the only one, or not a true lolicon, but that childish ego is always something of a turn off for me. Good in small doses, if they're parodying it. Without some intellectual affinity, I wouldn't be able to keep up the charade very long.
I thinking... Washuu (Tenchi Muyo), Horo (Spice And Wolf), Etna, Nagato Yuki, etc.

And if you think about it, stem cell skin regrowth (not too far off anymore) would be a sort of revolution in keeping people looking genuinely youthful all their lives...
At this point he needs to get marry
that might not help him finish berserk either. it's like that isolated author syndrome. it's a double edged sword. isolation brings solitude and free time to work, but also loneliness.
...and more madness.
"Here's Johnny!"
he has crossed over to the dark side.
rofl
berserk will never finish
And nothing of value was lost
No. Berserk is great. But Miura is ruining everything with this otaku mania of his. That's really sad, I haven't been following Berserk just for him to stop to play eroge. ;/
Miuuuuraaaaaa!*shakes fist*
Miura is a human too and he needs some vacation. Let him enjoy eroges to his heart content and then when he continues Berserk its our turn to enjoy. He's a man I really respect.
oh no...he's gonna die fapping...n left us with incomplete berserk...
Oh yeah, he owes you a lot for probably downloading his stuff instead of buying and not really giving him any money, you are a saint.
Have you ever read one of those crazy interviews with him? When he's working, HE REALLY IS. WITH ALL HIS HEART AND ENERGY. This man draws like a steam train!! How else could he keep this ultra-detailed drawing style of his on such tight schedules...
HE SIMPLY IS A MAN OF EXTREMES.
Either he is drawing like a maniac for months without break, or he is playing games or nicoing like a maniac for months without working.
That's just how he is and I have the greatest respects for him. I would always prefer these types of mangaka over those who drag their magnus opus over decades with one chapter being released each month which you are desperately waiting for and which turns out to be full of forgettable sidestories or fanservice without plot advancement at all.
I'd rather read something else for a few months and then explode in joy after hearing that the steam train is running again than being teased by those monthly filler shit...
people are fucking stupid if they're complaining about his work ethics. he's issuing comics, not your paycheck. if you paid for his stuff, you should know that everything he churns out is the best he's done. proof of this is the fact that recent chapters have pages that are museum-worthy.
I'd rather have berserk delayed rather than regularly-printed but extraordinarily shitty and stupid American superhero shit.
Well, he got tired of the manliness, and found out that girls are better to watch :P
Koihime Musou is good stuff after all, im with him
He needs to let someone else do Berserk...
not only become fulltime nico viewer but also fulltime fapper of koihime musou. he's awesome. Did he have any money to support his life anyway?
I think Berserk has already made him enough money to retire and do whatever he wants...
and soon that money will become 2D little girls
Gutz officialy killed by bunch of lolis.. LOL!
no...NO!!!
Damn, how come outrageous fans didn't kidnap him yet to make him write the next chapters in their basement?
because those raging otakus understand that a man and his 2D lolis shouldn't be separated.
Oh they tried - now they're in HIS basement. What he does with them there you don't want to know.
Gut's left hand should be all metal in that pic
Gut's should have a scar over his nose in that pic
I don't think he's been taking Berserk seriously for quite a while now...
Make a side story of Berserk using MOE characters.
Berserk already has moe characters.
As far as i know, chapter 302 has been published february the 24th and it said at the end that next chapter would be may the 8th...which would make the hiatus officially over, nico nico obssesion or not
Miura is a man after my own heart.
A man with good taste - he pursued Koihime Musou.
LEAVE KENTARO MIURO ALONE you greedy faggots
Let him enjoy once in a while, he deserves it all.
Damn how I want to play shin koihime musou. Ryuubi Gentoku FTW!!! fapfapfap
He has the rights to do whatever he wants!
Good 4 you Miura! hahaha
Never read any of his works, but maybe i will now because this man obviously has very good taste ;3
Berserk is one of the best stories out there. Read with an open mind and keen eye to details. His comic has been as meticulously crafted over time, just as a good film.
at least he seems to be happy
Argh! That's enough! You're fired! Now need to find another mangaka to continue Berserk!
someone must do the final chapter of berserk where Guts is killed by a group of lolis xD
or a group of berserked fans
Oh damn.. I'm afraid of becoming like this man...
Wait before he didn't have any proper free time?
i'm thinking guts ditching caska for schierke...
GOD DAMMIT MIURA
GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT MIUUURAAAA!!!!
I would like to read that chapter.
That's kind of pathetic, considering Young Animal is released twice a month.
Can he do that, though? Just up and abandon the manga? I thought that manga artists working for a serial publication were signed under a contract, or something.
pathetic? try writing and drawing something at least better than berserk then call him pathetic. tough order, bitch.
You guys are overreacting.
Miura is a diligent mortherfucker compared to *ahem* Togashi.
a VOCALOID MAD of bersek will be so epic
c'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's gonna throw all He has done just for a pile of girls!!??
... maybe if they were real. XD
I want Berserk!!!!!!!!!!!
next chapter of berserk.... "idol masters to the rescue.."
"I’ve been getting lonely, so I bought an Xbox and IdolMaster, hehehe.”
He knows what's up with the Box.
Yes Kentaro -- we all love moe like Idolm@ster and now Koihime Musou but pls. get back to Berserk
OH GOD Where the hell is that RROD when you need it the most.
haha
yeah
seriosly!
"“The final episode of my beloved NovelsM@ster!? I’ve been getting lonely, so I bought an Xbox and IdolMaster, hehehe.”"
hehehe
somebody have to send Miura to real-world war-zone where he can be awakened to true GARness again. Dildom@ster and Koihime Musou is the cancer that is killing our pure Berserk! As the old Chinese saying goes, in this world there are beauties that can ruin an empire!
What can i say... he needs to be bathed on blood!!!
To enjoy yet again the mindless slaughter of
demonic creatures !!!
I would beat some sense on him, but yet again japan is a little far...
the old saying is so damn true..
but we are having a pixelized girls ruining moera here.. :D hahhaa
are japanese real girls really that helpless ?
how about the idea of sending Moera a really really beautiful hardcore loving girl, to force him to work..
We're gonna lose berserk for some time here
