I’m sorry that after a long break without content this is what I come back to share but I do so without the intent to garner attention or anything else. I’ve of course left monetization off of this video, and I want to invite anyone who feels impacted by this loss, whether a fan or not, to use the comments section to express yourself openly. Miura’s work in Berserk heavily focused on mental health and the importance of expressing oneself emotionally so I would like to open the floor to that here. Be well.
Who could blame you? This loss is so profound and tragic. Berserk is a once in a lifetime story. It’s the only manga I’ve read and own and I remember the first day I saw the original 1997 series for the first time.
@Gears hey all, let's not give this guy our attention. We are all mourning the loss of a true master. Some insignificant squirming thing shouldn't distract us from our struggle. Let's be like Guts. Struggle on. Contend.
an hour ago I was sitting at a lake and was hearing the guts theme. Now I'm at home at read this sad news... Berserk did hit me emotional several times, but this in on another level.. R.I.P. Miura
Maybe people won't complain about manga artists taking breaks so much anymore. Health should be their priority. Don't need Oda to overwork or Togashi to make his chronic back issue worse etc
It’s amazing to quality and quantity of work they do; American artist aren’t under that same pressure but they don’t create at the level that their Japanese counterparts; but it takes a toll in them and I will never complain again about my favorite series taking too long to come out
Man, I only caught up to berserk this year, I don't know why this news hit me so hard. I'll carry his story and characters close to my heart for the rest of my life. Rip Miura sensei.
I have been following the series since I was gradeschool. And now I am a full fledge adult with a job, waiting every year just for one chapter of berserk and two or three chapter is already a blessing. And now... well i guess this is it.
@@jarmars2777 i heard that the rest of the team might actually carry on his will, they were well trained by him (literally made a manga just to train them to be good) i also heard that he had the ending and some details fully planned out so not guaranteeing anything but it's possible that they will finish it. (It will never be the same but at least it would be people he trusted)
This hit really hard, devastating. My deepest condolences to his family. His work will continue to influence others even in the decades. Very grateful for him, may he rest in peace.
It's mine *today.* This is insane. Happy fuggin' birthday, am I right? Keep struggling, man. Miura wouldn't want us to feel despair for him on what should be our best days.
I’m a new Berserk fan,but Miura was an absolute genius, I fell in love with Guts and his character since chapter one.Thank you Miura for creating one of the best protagonists ever
I loved his art style. It was more detailed than in any other manga ever. It was worth waiting for new chapter even though it took many months per chapter. Just damn.. This my nightmare seeing mangaka or author dying before finishing his masterpiece
Jesus man, I know we always joked about it but I never thought it'd actually happen. Totally surreal, Rip sensei. Thanks for all of time I was able to spend enjoying your masterpiece.
I've never read a piece by Miura, however even in my short period of time learning about manga recently, I knew he was a monument in the community. I am sorry for his family, his loyal fans and the ones he's inspired.
I would really advise you to go read berserk, I only started it recently and it’s already been so impactful. When I first started I wondered if it was worth it since it may never end, but now it doesn’t even matter if it does or not. His work will live on forever
@@psionicq2563 100% I’ve been wanting to read berserk for a while but wasn’t sure how I should read it, for long term and value for money sort of thing, but it’s definitely on my list.
@@omg_matte27lupa7 it probably won’t end, and it definitely won’t end how he wants it to. But that’s not the point, the story is a beautiful and brutal story to learn from. In the short time I’ve been reading Berserk it has made an incredible and deep impact on me. So yes it is worth it to read still, even if it won’t end.
@Shin Shaman You are literally the anti-christ, like who tf would ever make a video taking joy in the death of someone. It's not even funny, you're just messed up man.
I cried like an orphan child alone. He will be missed. It's all right. It's like stumbling on a rock on the roadside. It's petty...a small thing. The place you want to go...is more distant farther off. So...it's all right. You'll stand up. And you'll start walking. Soon... RIP Kentaro Miura
54 is so young... None of our lives are ever guaranteed. Obviously I never knew Miura the man, but Miura the legend, the greatest artist of the 20th century has left a blackhole in his wake. It's so a heavy thing to consider that delays in the series were perhaps a matter of his health. My heart weighs heavily for his family, and for us fans of Berserk, our struggle will never end.
Same man. Me and a dude with your same name used to talk about this series at work. Would even read the manga at work on the computer. Dam this one really does hurt. Rip
A professor and an artist. Unparalleled proficiency with the pen. His paintings and illustrations still evoke the same gut reaction everytime I see them. Shock, awe, disgust, but in ways that could only be positive. Haunting and beautiful to look at. Kentaro Miura is the greatest manga artist of all time. And I hold that sentiment not unjustly. His works still terrify and inspire my own [inferior] stories, and I'd be remiss to not point out his influence in media of all kinds. From manga itself, to film and television, and to video games. Life goes on, but far lonelier and devoid of a special spark. His works live on. And it goes without saying that they will not be forgotten. R.I.P. Dr. Kentaro Miura. Your art terrifies me and inspires me to be a better person. I am not alone in that regard. Thank you for your contributions to the media you created and inspired.
I just got into Berserk late last year. Caught up recently. After going through may I say the toughest times of my life last year, I felt as if Kentaro wrote the story just for me and I’m sure many feel the same way about the story them selves. I don’t care if Berserk will ever finish. If you ask me, where it ended up till now is fitting. Sometimes there is no happy ending but that’s because life goes on. If we picked anything up from Kentaro’s amazing story, it’s that we must continue the struggle no matter what. Thank you Dr Kentaro, may you Rest In Peace
I finished the berserk 1997 anime shortly before he died. It was utterly astonishing, so much so that I bought all the deluxe editions currently available so I could read the manga. They arrived shortly and I just began reading the manga last night and today I’ve been met with this horrible news. Unending respect to Miura and his family for such an amazing creation and legacy he’s left behind.
I’m thankful for the fact that he taught us that often time life isn’t pretty ........but you can still find reasons to keep going no matter what happens. Thank you miura
I started reading berserk when I was in a bad place in my life so watching gutz go through something awful and grow from it inspired me as a teenager to help myself we are all strugglers sometimes rest in peace Miura thank you for all the great memories reading your manga
As someone who only started collecting manga recently being an anime only viewer my whole life i finally got the privilege to read and pick up all 7 berserk deluxe editions out so far & honestly Going into it blindly not ever seeing the anime adaptions has been such an amazing experience that i now and forever will hold dear to my heart.. always hearing peoples praises yet not knowing nothing about Berserk but the fact that the golden age arc was god tier i really aint understand what it was about this series that touched millions of people until only recently and im so glad i followed through with trying it out.. What hurts even more and saddens me is the fact that i only just finished reading volume 21 just lastnight, to come home from work to then see This tragedy news is very difficult to fathom.. ive only finally just became a fan of Berserk why now
i started following Berserk around 10 years ago when i was in a dark spot in my life with not much idea where to go or what to do. the lessons iv learned from Berserk and the connections iv felt with Guts and everyone else has not only helped me through rough times but defined alot of how i handle life for the better. Berserk meant alot about cherishing those few diamonds you find in the mud. and in these rough times i am happy it existed. Thank you Miura.
this news hits deep for myself as well. i found berserk when i was at the lowest point of my life and struggling with many emotional demons. while his work was dark, it was also something i found a sense of comfort in, and was able to escape reality when reading it. rest in peace, he will be greatly missed by all of us.
I’m blown away by all the comments people have left for Miura-san. Isn’t it amazing how many strugglers are coming together to pay their respects from across the world? I bet if Kentaru Miura didn’t realise how much Berserk meant to us strugglers, whilst he was alive... he knows now.
I read Berserk for the first time in November, last year. At first, i didn't know what to expect because i heard very little about it. But when i began reading i found the manga to be one of the most best written and personnaly relatable story i've seen. I may not be a Berserk veteran but the pain is nonetheless here. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura i hope you are happy wherever you are now.
Rest in peace Kentaro Miura may you find peace in the great bonfire of dreams your legacy lives on with your brilliant art and astonishing work that was Berserk. Much love and my condolence from 🇵🇷😥
Thank you Miura, Guts found peace and a family in elfhelm, and Griffith got his wish. Its been an honor to follow your story and characters. You etched your will into everyone of its readers.
Whenever i felt depressed and i was watching beserk or better guts. Just surviving all this stuf and not break emotionaly miura motivated me to keep fighting even when the odds are down whitout him even knowing. It feels like we lost a great great figure of this century. And i also feel my heart in my troath. It hurts me a lot to think about the future of a series that i loved so much. Thank you miura, thank u so much
Rest In Peace and thank you Kentaro Miura, for such a profound and cathartic story that he had carefully refined and toiled for decades. His story will be remembered for forever in my heart.
I was always so frustrated when and how Berserk is gonna end. But now i am finally at peace. The man may not have finished his work but what he did will be remembered for eternity. RIP to the absolute legend.
I feel like I lost an old friend today.. words can’t describe how much he taught me about myself with his characters and his story.. the best passed.. Rip Miura Sensei “I bet he was HAPPY”
I am beyond devastated, i've followed this manga since i was 16 years old. I am 34 now, and I feel like a piece of myself will never be complete. I cried like a baby, RIP Miura you touched so many people with your work.
My introduction to Berserk was well over 20 years ago when we were still using dial-up modems.I found Berserk in 1998 on anime sites that would split up whole episodes in 50mb chunks. So I downloaded the first episode in 8-10 pieces in .rar files then opened up to get the .avi files and watch it, in terrible video and audio quality. But that was my beginning into Berserk. 40 volumes, 342 chapters of the Manga, Figma's, posters, t-shirts and everything else, I absolutely love this series. I know for years the Berserk community has feared we will never see the end of his story but never would I think we would lose Miura-san at a very young age of 54. I wish his family, friends, co-workers nothing but my truest condolences and I wish Miura-san knew the amazing impact he has left on each and every one of his fans.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, and all I can say is: thank you. Thank you for being the voice I needed to hear during this moment; to remind me to be grateful for what Berserk is and means to me, and what Miura has done for my life. Truly, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Truly a devastating time for anime and manga fans. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, you will always be remembered, for creating a legacy.
Most westerners cannot even being to conceive of the sacrifice and physical toll even an average Mangaka endures to produce their work. Have always scoffed at so called fans who berate any creator for an hiatus. No creator walks away from their work unless their sanity or life depend on it. Thank you Miura. RIP.
“Things you have now, things you’ve lost. People who’re nearby, people who’ve gone far away. No matter what you choose, truth is, both regret and reluctance are going to follow you around” - Luca
14 yrs, thats how long, iv waited, i was 16 when some friends at a jobcorps, let me borrow their copy of berserk, and i was in awe, when finishing it, but now, its impacted me so much, in many ways, and now he is dead, and its leaves my heart just broken, i'v waited for so long and hoping i could finish it, hoping berserk would finish before i die, and now it's the opposite, the author died before i could, i'm 29 now, and hearing this news just leaves another impact of loss.
He let us dream even in the darkest corner of the world.... Thank you so much for the amazing journey that we in distance shared with you... Miura-sensei...
I'm not a reader or watcher of Berserk...YET...but I TOTALLY understand your sadness and everyone ELSE'S sadness at the loss of Kentaro Miura. It is ALWAYS sad and tragic when a creative person of something ANY of us enjoy passes away unexpectedly. When it happens the world always seems like a lesser place due to their passing...BUT as long as we still have their works....be it writings, songs, videos, recordings they are ALWAYS with us in our hearts and minds. So Kentaro may be gone from the world...but he is STILL WITH US in his works and won't be forgotten, take comfort in that. Cheers!
Thank you Miura for everything you've done. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for having an impact on our lives. As silly as this sounds, I feel blessed to have had the chance to read such a masterpiece by the GOAT himself. The manga may never end but it will always still be the best manga out there and will remain to be my number 1 favorite. Rest in peace my king. You managed to make a lot of us happy and even gave some of us the will to keep on living. I send my condolences to his family and loves ones. ...he was too young...and now I hope he's at peace now. ❤ Thank you again Miura for creating Berserk and your other various brilliant works. Idk what else to say...I just wished this didn't happen at all. I've been crying ever since I heard the news.. thank you Kentaro Miura...thank you
the moment my brother walked into my room and told me “this is going to really hard to hear but, kentaro miura passed away” I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this i can’t believe he’s gone
This man created my favorite fictional protagonist. This feels so fucking unreal. Never has an author ever impacted me as deeply as Miura has with his work. Rest in Peace.
As someone new to it who just purchased vol. 1 deluxe edition i was tempted to return it and read digitally since it wont be a completed series but with this video and the amount of praise Miura is getting; i think ill keep it instead... RIP
There was a time where I thought no piece of fiction could move me to tears. For the longest time, the only time I cried was when I was a kid reading One Piece. I thought I was grown up, the lack of tears meant I have matured. I read Punpun, Monster, all sorts of series but, the series that taught me to cry again was Berserk. At the time I cut off most of my friends because I was fed up with things. I was alone and Guts was too. Guts taught me to keep struggling. And that's what I will do. Thank you, Miura.
Berserk is the 1st manga i ever read from beginning to end in 2 days, and it is by far my number 1 and favorite story/manga of all time. Rip struggler.
My favorite mangaka passed away! And it was May 6 of a knot in my heart to know that the creator a work that made me quit anime to consume manga died a while ago without knowing it, rest in peace sensei Miura
I started reading the manga last year so imagine my shock when I saw Miura's death trending on Google. RIP Miura sensei. Thank you for creating the most inspirational story I've ever read.
May he rest in peace....What actually got me into his work, was the Sega Dreamcast video game sword of the berserk that's what actually got me into the whole series, the characters all that and honestly, it truly was one of the greatest manga pieces of work to ever be created 💯
The loss of Miura will be something that all past and future strugglers will never forget. His work was brilliant and I hope it brings about a new era of creators who pursue their passions and devote themselves to it as much as he did with his own art. Thank you Miura for such an amazing masterpiece, we will never forget what you’ve brought to this world, you were a true genius.
I woke up at 5am for work, immediately after waking up I saw this news with sleepy eyes, thought i was reading it wrong. My heart fell through the floor, been carrying myself with great difficulty just to get through the day, at least until I got home where I can sit and reflect on Miura and his work. Feel for him and his family. R.I.P. Miura-Sensei.🙏
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura. Normal people will never understand artists and creators who have engrossed themselves in their passion. A shame really,.
Kentaro gave us the roadmap to struggle properly: 1- Forge meaningful friendships rooted in reciprocity. 2 - Be willing to learn from capable allies. 3 - Be willing to teach to those who would truly listen. 4 - Confront evil fearlessly, within yourself and others. 5 - Carry a big fuckin Sword.
I will never regret reading Berserk. It was an experience that has changed me and how I look at life in so many ways. And now it feels like I’ve been hit by a brick wall.........It just doesn’t feel real because.......why him?
I Just woke up. And... I can't believe it. At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me. But the more I scroll down the more I realize that it was indeed true. Man this news were to unexpected. RIP Kentaro Miura
I started reading berserk when I was 14. Now I am nearly 24. I still can't grasp a world where I wake up without the chance of getting a new berserk chapter, when it happened Miura seriously made my day better and made hard days more bearable. He will be missed but I am happy that his legacy as one of the most influential mangaka will live on. RIP Miura and thank you for your masterpiece and hard work.

An imcomplete masterpiece nonetheless.
Maybe people won't complain about manga artists taking breaks so much anymore. Health should be their priority. Don't need Oda to overwork or Togashi to make his chronic back issue worse etc
Well tbf miura wasnt really overworking himself

I think this is why it hits us hard, I love these three Mangakas and now one of them left. Rest In Peace, Kentaro...

Mine was the 18th and obviously the news broke on the 19th. It's rough man. It truly is. What Miura created was amazing. May he rest in peace.

this news hits deep for myself as well. i found berserk when i was at the lowest point of my life and struggling with many emotional demons. while his work was dark, it was also something i found a sense of comfort in, and was able to escape reality when reading it. rest in peace, he will be greatly missed by all of us.
I agree
Man is powerless even over his own destiny. Rest in peace, our good friend Kentaro. Thank you and your dream, that you shared with us.
I’m blown away by all the comments people have left for Miura-san. Isn’t it amazing how many strugglers are coming together to pay their respects from across the world? I bet if Kentaru Miura didn’t realise how much Berserk meant to us strugglers, whilst he was alive... he knows now.
I read Berserk for the first time in November, last year. At first, i didn't know what to expect because i heard very little about it. But when i began reading i found the manga to be one of the most best written and personnaly relatable story i've seen. I may not be a Berserk veteran but the pain is nonetheless here. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura i hope you are happy wherever you are now.
I haven't felt this kind of pain since the passing of Satoshi Kon.
Really huh ?
I’m glad Casca got her sanity back before he passed. I’m hugely inspired by this man. His story was an absolute masterpiece; finished or unfinished.
I am veteran and Berserk has helped me with my own struggles with PTSD. Never give up!
Rest in peace Kentaro Miura may you find peace in the great bonfire of dreams your legacy lives on with your brilliant art and astonishing work that was Berserk. Much love and my condolence from 🇵🇷😥
Thank you Miura, Guts found peace and a family in elfhelm, and Griffith got his wish. Its been an honor to follow your story and characters. You etched your will into everyone of its readers.
RIP to one of the greatest manga artists of all time.
Whenever i felt depressed and i was watching beserk or better guts. Just surviving all this stuf and not break emotionaly miura motivated me to keep fighting even when the odds are down whitout him even knowing. It feels like we lost a great great figure of this century. And i also feel my heart in my troath. It hurts me a lot to think about the future of a series that i loved so much. Thank you miura, thank u so much
Can't take artists like Miura for granted. He works is legend upon legendary, and I just hope he knows that.
Rest In Peace and thank you Kentaro Miura, for such a profound and cathartic story that he had carefully refined and toiled for decades. His story will be remembered for forever in my heart.
I was always so frustrated when and how Berserk is gonna end. But now i am finally at peace. The man may not have finished his work but what he did will be remembered for eternity. RIP to the absolute legend.
FUCKING gut wrenching. Greatest manga of all time.
@@wiredgamez9929 no its rly not. And if you even suggest some shitty shonen than your opinion is invalid. Only thing that comes close is vinland saga.
I feel like I lost an old friend today.. words can’t describe how much he taught me about myself with his characters and his story.. the best passed..
Rip Miura Sensei
“I bet he was HAPPY”
For sure all people who knew him will miss him so much. The world really lost such a great Artist
Miura will forever be one of the greatest story tellers to ever do it. A legend.
I am beyond devastated, i've followed this manga since i was 16 years old. I am 34 now, and I feel like a piece of myself will never be complete. I cried like a baby, RIP Miura you touched so many people with your work.
Rest in Peace Miura, you gave us a masterpiece but you were also a great person, rest easy now
My introduction to Berserk was well over 20 years ago when we were still using dial-up modems.I found Berserk in 1998 on anime sites that would split up whole episodes in 50mb chunks. So I downloaded the first episode in 8-10 pieces in .rar files then opened up to get the .avi files and watch it, in terrible video and audio quality. But that was my beginning into Berserk. 40 volumes, 342 chapters of the Manga, Figma's, posters, t-shirts and everything else, I absolutely love this series. I know for years the Berserk community has feared we will never see the end of his story but never would I think we would lose Miura-san at a very young age of 54. I wish his family, friends, co-workers nothing but my truest condolences and I wish Miura-san knew the amazing impact he has left on each and every one of his fans.
Feels like i lost my favourite uncle.. may He Rest in peace.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, and all I can say is: thank you.
Thank you for being the voice I needed to hear during this moment; to remind me to be grateful for what Berserk is and means to me, and what Miura has done for my life.
Truly, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. Truly a devastating time for anime and manga fans. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, you will always be remembered, for creating a legacy.
Kentaro Miura will go down in the history books as one if not the greatest of all time, thank you may you rest in peace 🙏
Most westerners cannot even being to conceive of the sacrifice and physical toll even an average Mangaka endures to produce their work. Have always scoffed at so called fans who berate any creator for an hiatus. No creator walks away from their work unless their sanity or life depend on it. Thank you Miura. RIP.
Thank you. You summerized so well what we all feel right now ! RIP Kentaro 🙇🏾
Dude was a fucking ledgend he left behind a masterpiece
RIP Miura

It’s a sad day indeed but we also gotta be grateful for the work the man has put his life into, forever legendary.
Rip that legend, he left us with a masterpiece
14 yrs, thats how long, iv waited, i was 16 when some friends at a jobcorps, let me borrow their copy of berserk, and i was in awe, when finishing it, but now, its impacted me so much, in many ways, and now he is dead, and its leaves my heart just broken, i'v waited for so long and hoping i could finish it, hoping berserk would finish before i die, and now it's the opposite, the author died before i could, i'm 29 now, and hearing this news just leaves another impact of loss.
RIP to a legend 🙏 Created on of the best pieces of fiction
The best*
He let us dream even in the darkest corner of the world....
Thank you so much for the amazing journey that we in distance shared with you...
Miura-sensei...
There’s nothing else I can even say I’m so heartbroken. God may he Rest In Peace
I'm not a reader or watcher of Berserk...YET...but I TOTALLY understand your sadness and everyone ELSE'S sadness at the loss of Kentaro Miura. It is ALWAYS sad and tragic when a creative person of something ANY of us enjoy passes away unexpectedly. When it happens the world always seems like a lesser place due to their passing...BUT as long as we still have their works....be it writings, songs, videos, recordings they are ALWAYS with us in our hearts and minds.
So Kentaro may be gone from the world...but he is STILL WITH US in his works and won't be forgotten, take comfort in that. Cheers!
Thank you Miura for everything you've done. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for having an impact on our lives. As silly as this sounds, I feel blessed to have had the chance to read such a masterpiece by the GOAT himself. The manga may never end but it will always still be the best manga out there and will remain to be my number 1 favorite.
Rest in peace my king. You managed to make a lot of us happy and even gave some of us the will to keep on living. I send my condolences to his family and loves ones.
...he was too young...and now I hope he's at peace now. ❤ Thank you again Miura for creating Berserk and your other various brilliant works.
Idk what else to say...I just wished this didn't happen at all. I've been crying ever since I heard the news.. thank you Kentaro Miura...thank you
the moment my brother walked into my room and told me “this is going to really hard to hear but, kentaro miura passed away” I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this i can’t believe he’s gone
I have the same emotion you exhibit. I feel silent, sad, still.... I am so heart broken I wish I could hug the community
This man created my favorite fictional protagonist. This feels so fucking unreal. Never has an author ever impacted me as deeply as Miura has with his work. Rest in Peace.
As someone new to it who just purchased vol. 1 deluxe edition i was tempted to return it and read digitally since it wont be a completed series but with this video and the amount of praise Miura is getting; i think ill keep it instead... RIP
Rest in peace brother..you will be always be remembered through your masterful artwork
There was a time where I thought no piece of fiction could move me to tears. For the longest time, the only time I cried was when I was a kid reading One Piece. I thought I was grown up, the lack of tears meant I have matured. I read Punpun, Monster, all sorts of series but, the series that taught me to cry again was Berserk. At the time I cut off most of my friends because I was fed up with things. I was alone and Guts was too. Guts taught me to keep struggling. And that's what I will do.
Thank you, Miura.
Really ?This is an interesting story
Rest in peace, king.
Your struggles have ended.
We may never get a proper ending but he left behind a masterpiece thank you rest well legend ❤️
It feels like I lost a friend I never got to meet. Rest in power Miura, the world is a lesser place without you.
Berserk is the 1st manga i ever read from beginning to end in 2 days, and it is by far my number 1 and favorite story/manga of all time. Rip struggler.
My favorite mangaka passed away! And it was May 6 of a knot in my heart to know that the creator a work that made me quit anime to consume manga died a while ago without knowing it, rest in peace sensei Miura
I started reading the manga last year so imagine my shock when I saw Miura's death trending on Google. RIP Miura sensei. Thank you for creating the most inspirational story I've ever read.
May he rest in peace....What actually got me into his work, was the Sega Dreamcast video game sword of the berserk that's what actually got me into the whole series, the characters all that and honestly, it truly was one of the greatest manga pieces of work to ever be created 💯
Dammit dude how sad we lost a brilliant man and a brilliant story
Berserk is an unmatchable piece of brilliance. So sad to hear this news.
The loss of Miura will be something that all past and future strugglers will never forget. His work was brilliant and I hope it brings about a new era of creators who pursue their passions and devote themselves to it as much as he did with his own art. Thank you Miura for such an amazing masterpiece, we will never forget what you’ve brought to this world, you were a true genius.
I’m 20 and I have been reading this for almost half my life damn Rest In Peace the legend
I am 20 as well and I've never read Berserk before, but now I wanna get into it
I woke up at 5am for work, immediately after waking up I saw this news with sleepy eyes, thought i was reading it wrong. My heart fell through the floor, been carrying myself with great difficulty just to get through the day, at least until I got home where I can sit and reflect on Miura and his work. Feel for him and his family. R.I.P. Miura-Sensei.🙏
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura.
Normal people will never understand artists and creators who have engrossed themselves in their passion.
A shame really,.
Kentaro gave us the roadmap to struggle properly:
1- Forge meaningful friendships rooted in reciprocity.
2 - Be willing to learn from capable allies.
3 - Be willing to teach to those who would truly listen.
4 - Confront evil fearlessly, within yourself and others.
5 - Carry a big fuckin Sword.
I will never regret reading Berserk. It was an experience that has changed me and how I look at life in so many ways. And now it feels like I’ve been hit by a brick wall.........It just doesn’t feel real because.......why him?
Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura 🙏
I Just woke up. And... I can't believe it. At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me. But the more I scroll down the more I realize that it was indeed true. Man this news were to unexpected. RIP Kentaro Miura
This is hitting me hard, and it will for some time. RIP Miura.
I started reading berserk when I was 14. Now I am nearly 24. I still can't grasp a world where I wake up without the chance of getting a new berserk chapter, when it happened Miura seriously made my day better and made hard days more bearable. He will be missed but I am happy that his legacy as one of the most influential mangaka will live on. RIP Miura and thank you for your masterpiece and hard work.
I'm devastated to know I'll never be able to witness a conclusion to Miura's masterpiece. God bless his soul, he was a great man.
Thank you for your words, we followed berserk since 17 years 😩
