I want to start reading berserk should I get the manga or the deluxe edition

I watched and read berserk like 5 years ago

Was just describing it to a friend but not recommending it since the themes in the manga would be triggering in their case Then was like wait… why do I think this is a good story?

I used to say it’s because it doesnt hold back on realism which is refreshing but it’s soooo dark

I’m curious what the appeal is to YOU to help me think

It was mentioned in a post long way it was said to be similar to Berserk and had Sharply drawn women in cool and dark armour, something like a homo erotic berserk for lesbians, with great art. I am just looking for it, thank you for helping me .

WHY ARE YOU HERE YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED GONE YOU PIECE OF SHIT

Does anyone know where i can buy winter gloves with the brand of sacrfice on it?

is a scammer, BEWARE, they have made waves in the bleach shirts, Going through and informing everyone!

I read up on some articles about the author passing away a few years ago. He told his best friend how Berserk ends. If this is true we need to keep this man alive at all costs

lol this is my first self made armor ever, it’s not that good but im proud of it.

^^

(sorry it a lot but leading to a deep question I've always had and would LOVE to have answers) Might be poorly written I used text to speech and edited it sorry

Was out with a friend at an outlet mall far from where I lived and managed to find the first bit of Berserk merch outside of books being sold at stores and Hot topic selling T-shirts kind of made me think and bring to my attention "why?".

The one thing that's always confused me has to be how berserk is something that is so commonly known and loved by so many people yet there's little to no merch of it.

Yet I see things that commonly people tend to not exactly enjoy somehow get tons of merch such as my hero academia where more than not even by most people I know that are much more into anime and manga than I am seem to have a quite deep hatred and strong dislike for my hero academia (probably why a mass majority of the merch seems to end up in clearance).

I personally have never watched it but it always seems strange to me how even people that aren't into any kind of Japanese cartoons or comics seem to have a deep love for berserk yet it's mostly hidden from everywhere.

I always get notifications on the latest berserk statue or figures that comes out and I hate that it's the few only things that I can ever find since most of these items are priced at least $300 to even $2,000 also even commonly being only sold in Japan is this a problem for licensing in the states?

Is it because how dark the topics are? Licensing issues?

Note- I'm not trying to knock any fans of My hero Yes I use My Hero Academia and example without ever have watched much the anime. Yes, my husband seem to enjoy it at one point but with all the friends that I have and people I've met in passing I've heard maybe One out of an easy 200+ people liking the show (my husband makes it 2). Being a large variety of people who hardly ever watch anime, guys that seem to like the figures a little bit too much, people who frequently watch anime as a hobby, to even people who have lived in Japan for multiple years and still have a distaste for the show despite having a large respect for almost all anime and manga.

The second example of this is commonly in stores whether it be hot topic or even anime stores that try to almost carry a smaller amount of merchandise from the show commonly tend to put these items on clearance for them not selling yet tons of merch constantly floods in. When I asked if they have any berserk merch answers always tend to be we had a shipment of figures that sold out within two days but I don't think we'll get anymore. It almost seems like bad marketing on the stores behalf or not trying to constantly carry items like Berserk. Even in high school being a weird JoJo kid I commonly found it extremely difficult to actually find JoJo merchandise without having to go on some place like eBay yet almost all of my friends were extremely obsessed with the show (how I got into it). I'll always understand the Staples things like dragon Ball or Naruto those make sense to me.

Leading to my confusion on the obsession I never personally got to much into it but my husband wants me to try it again so maybe it will change :)

It’s my first time reading manga and recently I read half of berserk on digital and loved the series so much that I bought the first deluxe volume and tried to read it but never really gotten to me. Flipping the pages and needing a light on top really annoys me and plus I can see my surroundings making it hard to focus. I see the reason why I kind of prefer digital due to already lit page with large portrait to scroll making it easier and smooth to scroll to the next without immersion, breaking and plus the feeling when your looking at a screen makes the surroundings feel like it does not exist like your scrolling through TikTok or reels. I wanted to ask on the subreddit specifically because I heard that berserk is better on paper then other manga but what do you guys think is it better to read physical or digital?

I’m not condoning Griffith’s actions whatsoever, especially after what he did to casca but Griffith was abandoned by guts, caught sleeping with princess charlotte, tortured for 1 year too the point he couldnt move, wield a sword, talk, or even do anything for himself.

Once again, I do not condone Griffith’s actions, but many people fail to understand that the average person to go through such things being abandoned by your closest “friend” tortured for a year and then being helpless to the point you have to crawl and you are nonverbal and you were given the chance to become a godlike figure and a chance to start your life to your wildest desires, most people during that state would fold.

What griffith did AFRER his rebirth was the evil part, like assaulting casca, but the sacrifice is something most people would do

A friend was asking about what I was up to and I thought this was funny

i'm really look like griffith so much
