Berserk to Receive A New Chapter Penned by Late Kentaro Miura this Fall

After the tragic loss of manga artist Kentaro Miura due to health-related issues, many have wondered what would happen to his decade-long dark fantasy series Berserk. 

While the long-term future of Berserk seems unclear, the manga publisher Hakusensha will be releasing chapter 364 on 10th September 2021. 

According to online reports, the upcoming chapter of the Berserk manga written and illustrated by penned by Kentaro Miura will include a poster of the best scenes in the series and a booklet titled “Messages to Kentaro Miura.”

The news of a new chapter, that too, straight from the late mangaka came as a surprise to many Berserk fans, including me. Who would have thought that the tale of Guts and his band of traveling friends would end at the land of Elfhelm? 

The latest chapter, titled “Leaping Monkey,” had our favorite swordsmen hanging out with some cute elves and critters as he took to the beautiful land full of cherry blossoms. But when the sunset approached, the ever-elusive Moonlight Boy, who may or may not be Guts’ son, made his sudden appearance.  

Fans will have plenty of questions to be answered in the upcoming chapter, which otherwise would never have been addressed. Needless to point out but I can sense the hype train chugging along to 10th September. 

As of now, there seem to be no plans for the continuation of the Berserk manga or an anime/film adaptation that will dive into the world of “Band of the Hawk.” Nevertheless, I imagine that a small screen adaptation might be possible given the resurgence in popularity. 

So if you are a fan of the series, be sure to grab a copy of the latest chapter.
