Guts, the Black Swordsman, and his companions have finally broken free of the monster-infested wilderness and arrived at the port city of Vritannis. But the band finds out all too quickly that humans can be just as monstrous as the nightmarish creatures and apostles they battled in the forest. As Schierke and Isidro face off against pirate slavers, Farnese's power-hungry family tries to force her once again under the yoke of their political ambitions. The group's only hope is to find a ship out of the city, but even if they manage to secure a vessel, will everyone be free to leave?

Miura, Where Are You?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Berserk, Vol. 29 (Paperback)
Miura, stop dragging the plot along. We all know you're working on the anime, but seriously? No, just get to work and finish the Berserk Series. Countless of fans want to know if Theresia, the count's daughter, will return and kill guts, will Griffith face justice and die? Will caska live and be back to normal? Does guts survive and can we finally be at harmony with a satisfying end? Can the berserker armor prove to be the key that can give Guts his vengeance?
The greatest story ever written, at least, one of the greatest stories, in my opinion, and by the opinion of countless of raving fans and patient enthusiasts alike.

A Bedridden Guts Says It All,
This review is from: Berserk, Vol. 29 (Paperback)
In any series as protracted as that of Berserk, which attempts on imperceptibly melding otherwise substantially different episodes to form a seamless story, there arrises a repeated cycle of rising and falling of different plots beneath the umbrella of a much larger plot. Much like a wave, this results in a series of crests and troughs of action, both intellectual and physical, that together move the bulk of the story to its conclusion. Unfortunately for its fandom, Berserk 29 represents an ebb in the steady progression of this long-running and most excellent epic--one derelict of the support given by the series' famed protagonist, Guts.
Though the cover may feature the Black Swordsman in one of his classic, hawkish poses, Guts has, like a gentleman for the duration of this episode, put down his giant sword, and let the ladies (Farnese, her mother, Schierke, and Sonia) take the spotlight. In the same way Guts has been put aside to recover from his recent frays, it can be said that the story itself has been shelved until a more auspicious time. But while this strategy is not completely new to the series, exposition, in other instances, was matched with some degree of thought or emotional provocation, as well as, to put it bluntly, slaughter. However, Berserk 29's sole purpose is that of transition, without any truly memorable artistic, philosophical, or narratological moments. At best, this volume can be called "necessary," but certainly not "sufficient" to the greatness of antecedent episodes.
