I only ever read the first volume because I knew manga had a slow release but I know it is very popular and I'm sure plenty of people here are sad to see him go. Even though I didn't read much of his manga, the man clearly had a talent for drawing.

And yes, we can assume Berserk will remain unfinished because of this.

Damn it, 2021. You had one job, 2021. I don’t know how you could do this to us. 2021 you son of a bitch.

He was able to create one of the most celebrated works within all of Japanese publication history.

With his captivating illustrations and phenomenal storylines, he was able to shape his own legacy, all while inspiring others to better themselves. His work was able to influence so many pieces of media - from video games and movies, to anime and novels. He even motivated other mangaka. Truly, his work was a landmark both within the manga industry and beyond it.

I give my sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura. You will be sorely missed.

May he rest in Peace. He has been working on Berserk since 1989. I loved his storytelling and for Berserk. Guts is one of my favorite characters in media. And I loved the artwork in the manga, it was so detailed and great. It is a shame the manga will never finish now, unless he has the story written out somewhere in his notes. Casca who was stuck in a catatonic state for 21 years was only recently revived to her senses. Berserk is one of my favorite stories.
