Kentaro Miura’s Berserk is consistently ranked #1 on "Greatest Manga of All Time" lists. It follows Guts, a black swordsman with a massive sword, a metal arm, and a demonic brand on his neck. It is brutal, graphic, and traumatic, but it contains the most beautiful themes of struggling against fate. Word of warning: It is extremely violent and contains sexual assault. Best for: Dark Souls/Elden Ring fans (the games are heavily inspired by this).
