‘Berserk’ team to continue with six new chapters a year after creator’s death
A year after “Berserk” author Kentaro Miura’s passing, the editorial team at Young Animal magazine recently announced that the iconic manga will continue.
In a lengthy Twitter post, the “Berserk” team detailed conversations between Miura and one of his confidantes, fellow manga author Kouji Mori.
“[Miura] wondered, would anyone be surprised if I drew something like this? How about a character like this? Would this storyline be interesting?” wrote the staff.
The staff went on to discuss plans for the upcoming chapters, which would be penned by Mori.
“”From the next issue, we will first publish six chapters until the end of the “Fantasia Arc/Elf Island Chapter,” wrote the staff. “After this, we will start a new arc.”
In a concurrent statement, Mori wrote “I have a message and promise to everyone. I will recall the details as much as possible and tell the story.”
“Before his passing, Kentaro Miura spoke to his close friend Kouji Mori about the stories and episodes he had in mind for Berserk,” wrote the staff. “He wondered, would anyone be surprised if I drew something like this? How about a character like this? Would this storyline be interesting?”
