Dark Horse is honored to join Hakusensha, the publisher of Berserk in Japan, and Glénat, the publisher in France, to commemorate the life and work of master artist and storyteller Kentaro Miura, and celebrate Volume 41 of his beloved manga series, Berserk.
In May of 2021, the world mourned the loss of Miura-sensei, who passed away at the age of 54. You can find memorials from Dark Horse here, and revisit the Miura Memorial Wall that was displayed at Anime NYC 2021 here and here.

More details about the Dark Horse edition will be available in the new year.
