(W/A/CA) Kentaro Miura. He is Guts* the Black Swordsman* a warrior of legendary prowess-relentless* fearless* merciless. As cold and brutal as the iron of the massive sword he wields. Bent on revenge against the unholy forces that have branded him for sacrifice* but especially on Griffith* one of the demon lords of the Godhand. But Griffith was once a man* the leader of the Hawks* a renowned cadre of elite fighters with a young Guts as its fiercest champion. Though forged in a crucible of cruelty and violence* nothing could prepare Guts for a confrontation with Nosferatu Zodd* a superhuman beast who slaughters Guts' comrades as easily as a scythe cuts wheat. Even Guts and Griffith are no match for the abomination's power ... but something Griffith wears around his neck may well be! * One of the most eagerly anticipated manga properties in recent years* Berserk was originally published in Japan and has been serialized in Young Animal Magazine since the early 1990s. * The Berserk manga has been adapted into a best-selling anime series available from Media Blasters! * NOTE: Each volume of Berserk is shipped shrink-wrapped and carries a cover content advisory.
