Berserk

Born from a hanged corpse and raised on blood, Guts has known nothing but battle his entire life. After finding a fragile sense of belonging among the Band of the Hawk and its charismatic leader Griffith, an unspeakable betrayal brands Guts as prey for the demonic Apostles and casts him into a nightmarish world where causality itself bends toward cruelty. Now the 'Black Swordsman' roams a dark-fantasy land with a monstrous blade and a will that refuses to break, torn between vengeance and the fragile human bonds that keep him from becoming a monster himself. Staggeringly detailed and unflinchingly brutal, Kentaro Miura's landmark epic is one of the most influential and revered dark-fantasy manga ever created.
