Format: Paperback
...though none of our characters is aware of the ramifications to come.

As Guts continues his long hike to the Tower in search of Casca, Farnese and the Holy Chain Knights are exposed to the High Inquisitor's methods even further as the depths to his fanatical devotion to his faith are highlighted in acts of charity and bloody deeds. Elsewhere, among the refugees, individuals are growing more desperate by the minute and the mob more violent... someone is killing priests, and that someone must be found before everyone is put to the Question.

Many new characters are introduced this volume, and several that we met last volume are given further characterization (such as the Inquisitor's torture crew, who are given a backstory). The main newcomers to pay attention to for this story arc are Isidoro, a young punk making his way through the world on his wit, and the ladies of ill repute among the refugees (Luca and Nina being the most important) who are taking care of Casca. Farnese's background is given another brief look as her attraction to pain and her history with Serpico is hinted at.

**Fair warning** Lots of nudity in this volume as there's a pagan sex cult on the loose, and Farnese can't think of fire without going damp between her legs. Girl's got problems... but, hey, don't we all.

The art is standard Miura goodness with lots of detail in both the beautiful and the repulsive. Like I said above, this is probably not a book you want to be reading in public due to it's graphic detail in sex and violence (instead of just the regular violence... heh).

All in all, another strong volume about the human world, showing more on the undercurrents of mundane society, with only a little spirit world action for Guts to beat down on. Time marches on and medievil society is still visibly breaking down... what's that line? "The center cannot hold?" I definitely recommend a buy, with my standard caveat to read all which came before it.

This volume has a little bit of everything. We get to meet the Inquisitor and his posse of torture experts. This group provides us with some ruthless potential enemies for Guts in the future and while that comes we get a look at what these people do in the name of god. There is of course a clear parallel to the inquisition. The graphic violence is actually kicked up a notch from previous volumes, if that is even possible, but the reason why I am saying this is because of the suffering accosiated with some of these.

On another side, we have Casca coming back to the center of the story as well as the introduction of some new characters. A group of prostitutes that may get involved in some dangerous situations, a kid who runs into Guts and is awestruck by his prowess, and some truly crazy explicit scenes.

Regarding the story line, we get some answers about previous key events, but we also get a new prophecy that has the power to even scare Guts a little. All in all, this is one great volume and if the quality remains at this level it will be hard to stop, or even take a break, from reading these.

If you've read Berserk up to this point then you should definitely continue to enjoy it as you read this.Just because this volume doesn't have as much big series events as others doesn't make it a bad volume in any way possible. Other people are saying that they want some closure to the series and want it to come to a climax and that's why they don't like certain volumes which contain side stories or further develop characters besides Guts or the main characters. I personally like Berserk so much I don't want it to end and in no way mind if it keeps getting longer.

Berserk is a very adult manga in a great fantasy setting. With Medieval battles and relationships it deals with philosophical issues and the challenges of controlling your own will and desires. This volume focuses a lot on Farnese and her personal issues. Casca is also followed as she stays with a cult. Guts sets out to rescue Casca and after visiting Godo for the first time in two years. I would disagree with another reviewer and say that many key events happen or are introduced in this volume. It is a great read and a great volume of the story. To all those 18 and older, Berserk 18 (and all the other volumes) are highly recommended.
