Berserk, Vol. 1

MILLIONS OF COPIES SOLD: Meet the relentless swordsman, Guts, in this first gory entry in the New York Times-bestselling adult fantasy horror manga!

Guts is the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice.

But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned—and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance.

Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is horror manga to the extreme—harrowing, violent, and horrifying—and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter—and offers none!
