Berserk, Vol. 14 [Paperback]

Kentaro Miura (Author, Artist)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 19, 2006

The once unbeatable Band of the Hawk is smashed, and their former leader, Griffith, has made an unholy pact with the demon lords of the Godhand, sacrificing his former troops to resurrect his crippled body and ascend to stand in power beside these profane gods. The Invocation of Doom has unleashed a plague of unspeakable horrors upon the earth, and the first battle not only shatters the Hawks, but the hand of their champion, Guts, and the mind of their captain and Guts' lover, Casca. And while time may heal some of Guts' wounds, it will not heal his desire for vengeance. And his discovery of a gigantic, dragon-slaying sword might be just the ticket to deal out some king-sized payback! Also included in this volume: "Berserk Prototype," the very first Berserk story, created during Kentaro Miura's college days as his audition that sold the series!

This is a great continuation of the anime series which covers volume 1 to mid 13 of the manga. The book leaves off after guts watches as his comrades become sacrificed to the god's hand and his escape from the depths of hell. With his daring escape and relentless vengance and hatred towards his best friend that has become his most hated enemy, he is determined to put a stop to their diabolical plans to rule the earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series!, April 24, 2009

This review is from: Berserk, Vol. 14 (Paperback)

Berserk is an incredible Manga to start reading. It has excellent characters, an amazing and complex plot, and it's very intense. It is pretty violent but unlike some other media, Berserk is not violent for the sake of violence. Miura really captures the dark side of humanity in Berserk and while it is fiction and takes place in a medieval setting some of the issues are really down to earth. The main character has the most incredible will and is a very inspiring character as well.

Having escaped the feast of the Godhand, Guts finds himself among friends. For the moment. The Skull knight tells him what his fate will be: struggling. Guts prefers it to be VENGEANCE. He intends to destroy the Godhand and its demons. Helped by his giant sword, a cannon and his hatred, Guts takes the road. Guided by his sacrifice brand. This volume goes on where the third volume left to tell the story of the Band of the Hawk. In this one Guts and his elf confront the elves from hell. It is always amazing how Guts can fight creatures that slaughter anybody else.
