For Berserk fans, the release of new manga chapters has become an event in the anime world. While the current creative team of writer Kouji Mori and artists at Studio Gaga have big shoes to fill when it comes to continuing the work of late creator Kentaro Miura, they are doing their best to give Guts and the Band of the Hawk the end. they deserve. Recently, chapters 377 and 378 of Berserker the mangas were released side by side, which is a departure from chapter releases that would take a while to arrive. Now, an artist from the series has shared a new update for Chapter 379 and confirmed that the wait might not be as long as Berserk fans expect it.

When we last left Guts and his new band of adventurers, things weren’t going so well in the land known as Kushan.. The final storyline, “The Eastern Exile Arc”, sees the Black Swordsman locked in a dungeon as Kushan attempts to launch an assault on Griffith and his current demonic rendition of the Band of the Hawk. Unfortunately, before they could launch their assault, Griffith sent one of his deadliest assassins to earth to throw the heroes a major curveball. The demonic assassin known as Rakshas causes serious damage, but that’s far from the only problem facing Guts and his friends. Portals to another world began to open in Kushan, both hinting at the arrival of a member of Godhand and pouring countless trolls into the land.

Berserk: Chapter 379 Status Update

Artist Drache Doratan has long been a part of the world of Berserk, remaining one of Studio Gaga’s key artists. Previously working as Kentaro Miura’s assistant, the mangaka helped lead Berserk’s ship to the future. Using conversations with Miura and notes left by the deceased mangaka, Gaga and writer Kouji Mori hope to live up to the high standard left by Berserk’s creator.

Does a Berserk Anime, please stand up?

Unfortunately, there has been no news of Berserk back with a new anime project following the last release, Berserk: Commemorative Edition. The latter series was the one that brought together the trilogy of films that recreated the Golden Age arc, but did not feature translations of new stories to the screen. Although the controversial 2016 anime adaptation followed Guts and company to explore arcs that had never been animated before, there are still years of stories that have yet to be adapted.

In terms of Berserker manga, it’s unclear when we can expect Mori and Gaga to wrap up the series. In the past, Kouji Mori has stated that there might still be years of stories to bring to life before we see Guts swing the Dragon Slayer for the last time. However Berserk brings its story to an end, it is sure to send shockwaves throughout the anime world.
