Reddit reviews Berserk, Vol. 1

Puck was first introduced on page 6 of the first chapter of the manga and he's pretty integral to the story. There's even at least one joke that I can recall about how the manga couldn't continue without him because it would be too dark. I don't know how the anime handles him since I have never watched it but I can't imagine they completely changed his character. It's probably just hampered by horrible animation, direction, and sound design, just like the rest of the anime. Maybe they changed some dialogue and plot-points as well, I wouldn't know.

Honestly I would suggest just reading the entire manga from the start if you have never done so before. All of the adaptations including the original one from the nineties have take liberties with the plot in order to deal with constraints imposed by the adaptation. You can read it for free illegally online or purchase the officially licensed version published by Dark Horse.

You should honestly get the new Deluxe edition.

Or just the standard.

After informing a bit more, it seems like Berserk is the best answer to my question. Now I wonder, whether this is the first of the English series. The release date is from 2009 while the next volumes are from 2004.

Is this 2009 release just a remake? Is it as good/the same as the original?

Thanks

Seeing as you like Conan, think about buying the Colossal Conan, collecting the entire run of Kurt Busiek and Cary Nord as well as others like Eric Powell, Mike Mignola and Timothy Truman.

And there there's the fantasy comic from across the Atlantic, Thorgal by Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosinski, It's been running since the sixties, and the only change is that Van Hamme left after the story switched main protagonist. highly recommended.

In case you're not one of those people that suffer some kind of brain tumour and hate manga, Berserk is the dark fantasy manga, and it looks nothing like the stereotypical Shonen manga. You can read my warning to another user here.

Another Fantasy Manga is Drifters by Kouta/Kohta Hirano(the creator of the popular Hellsing manga). Set in a fantasy world with elves and dwarves and all that stuff, famous historical warriors are dropped in when they "died" in the real world.

Amazon

hopefully amazon gets hold of some of the new copies, i ve been wanting to read berserk for ages but getting it in the UK is so difficult

edit: just found this

I looked around a bit on the internet and if I understand correctly, ordering from .de has lower to no shipping costs, while ordering from .com has high shipping costs. So if possible it might be a better idea to order from .de instead of .com.

As PMMMsvd said, this one looks like what you want (vol. 1 in English).

This one is the english one.

Edit: misread your question

Not bullshit if you live in another country.

Plus, I was referring to the initial price, not the discount.

Do your job and support the creator http://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Vol-1-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1593070209/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464952163&sr=8-1&keywords=berserk+volume+1
