Reviews

A rousing tale of intrepid heroes, horrid villains and wicked supernatural creatures. Publishers Weekly

The Guin Saga was the most [inspiration for Berserk]. I started reading it in junior high and Im still reading the new volume every month. Berserk creator Kentaro Miura

Kaoru Kurimoto manages the flurry of situations being set up and resolved like the trick of a putting a hand on a table with fingers spread out, then stabbing a blade between the outstretched digits. The speed and coordination is that amazing. Scott Green, Aint It Cool News
