Antoine BraultFor those who have already had the chance to read some of my articles, you know that I really enjoy manga and love discovering new ones. Among my favorites is Berserk . If you're reading this article for the first time, you'll discover why this manga is so special.
What is Berserk about?

Berserk, meaning "mad and raging," follows the adventures of Guts, a lone warrior hunted by evil forces. From birth, Guts is immersed in a world of violence and hatred, forging a solitary and hardened character. He grows up within a band where atrocities reign, shaping his tragic and heroic destiny.
What makes it different from other manga?

Berserk pushes its characters to their darkest limits, with chapters that require a strong stomach. The world is dark, violent, and often brutal, which clearly sets it apart from other manga.
