You can see the full announcement taken from the website below.
Going forward, the assistants and apprentices who also worked alongside Kentarou Miura at Studio Gaga will be responsible for the Berserk manga, with Kouji Mori, who is a close childhood friend of the creator, serving as supervisor. For more information, you can check out the official blog post yourself here.
Such ordinary days continued for more than a quarter of a century. Our minds and hearts are still filled with the thoughts Mr. Miura shared with us during that time. We have also found memos of ideas he wrote and designs for characters that he drew and left behind.We were reluctant to end his story without sharing these with his fans.Our hope is for everyone to read the last episode that we have put together, until the very last frame.
Upon resuming the series, our production team decided on a basic policy.“Mr. Miura said so.”This is what the production team kept in mind.Since he did not leave behind rough drafts, it is impossible for us to create a manuscript exactly in the way he would have intended. However, we will write the manga so as not to deviate from Mr. Miura’s own words. We would like to take the “Kentaro Miura” that we knew so fondly through our conversations and work and convey this to all of you in a sincere manner.We believe that this policy, although imperfect, is the best way to deliver the Berserk that Mr. Miura envisioned to everyone as faithfully as possible.
From the next issue, we will first publish six chapters until the end of “Fantasia Arc/Elf Island Chapter”. After this, we will start a new arc.Credits after the resumption will be “Original work by Kentaro Miura, Manga by Studio Gaga, Supervised by Kouji Mori,” and the numbering of the manga books will continue in order.
Looking back, the first volume of Berserk was published in 1990 with 28,000 copies released for the first edition. It was not an immediate hit and only a small group of people knew about it. Still, it drew avid fans and was able to hold their interest because people could feel Mr. Miura’s desire to refine his craft. After a while, Berserk became a huge hit through Mr. Miura’s extraordinary efforts and some good luck. Today, the first volume has been read by 2 million people around the world. We believe that Berserk has touched the hearts of many fans, and Mr. Miura would be happy to know that his thoughts have had a great influence on people’s lives and work. We hope that everyone will continue to have the same connection with Berserk in the chapters to come.
Thank you to all the fans who sent us messages.We are also grateful to the many fans who quietly supported the manga through their thoughts.Every one of you will be the source of our energy as we move forward.We are truly grateful to you all.
