What the series needs is more dicks to balance things out. It's clear from re-reading Berserk that Miura wishes he could draw much more full frontal male nudity but he's not allowed to.

Falconia citizenship card should come with a free magazine subscription to a Griffith-only Playgirl magazine.

Seriously. If you want to deconstruct it and talk about treatment of a particular group, then actually look at the broad range of deplorable themes within the context of the genre, the medium, and the time period.

If you're just sad about Guts chopping a horse in half, you might want to find a different manga to read.

Idk why but every few months Berserk trends in my country from people trying to cancel it for being too violent and then the fans arguing that the violence serves a purpose and it's the best manga.

This is like the 3rd time this happened in a year. It gets me excited because I think a new chapter was released but nope :eng99:

Whoever suggested Between Two Fires, thank you. About a third of the way in and the book delivers on Berserk vibes.

Heyyy awesome. That author has his first secondary-world fantasy novel coming out this month, called "The Blacktongue Thief". It's getting rave reviews, I'm super psyched for it.

Vinland Saga is Good

Between Two Fires was also good, but I can't seem to remember most of it, a scene by the river was very vividly Berserk though.

It's on multiple twitter accounts and while this one doesn't have a checkmark either, it's followed by several industry professionals, such as the author and artist of slayers.

quote:

Your aorta is the large artery that arises from the left lower chamber of the heart and provides oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. This blood vessel is made up of three layers. In certain circumstances, a tear develops in the inner layer. When this occurs, the aorta then bleeds into itself through the middle layer, extending this tear and leads to a separation of the layers of the aorta – known as aortic dissection.

watch your blood pressure, folks.

it's one of those things that's hard to diagnose because it often doesn't feel like heart pain, it feels like you threw your back out and then a few hours or days later you die
