Berserk
ベルセルク
Guts, once known as the Black Swordsman and a mercenary, pursues a path of vengeance. After enduring a brutal childhood, he finds someone he can trust and respect, but that bond is shattered when that person betrays him, stripping away everything precious to him in pursuit of their own ambitions. Now marked for death, Guts faces unrelenting persecution from dark forces. Driven by a grim and tragic mission, wielding immense strength and a colossal sword, he pushes forward undeterred by any obstacle, even death itself, until he can confront the one who stole his and his lover's humanity. This synopsis also includes a one-shot titled "Berserk: The Prototype," featured in Volume 14.
