The wait is over for 278! Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did translating.
Torrent:
So, we have another long wait ahead of us… so mark September 8th on your Calenders for 279. Also, as a heads up, we will have a big release of more manga later this weekend.
Update (2006.08.30) – Yes the torrent above will download what looks like chapter 277, but rest assured that the content is in fact 278. Note to self, do not release in the 3am in the morning. 
Also, if you follow links from other sites or from older posts on this site, please not that we release chapters in volumes so some of those links are dead (404). We don’t update the posts, but we do offer a nifty download widge on the right hand side that gives you a link to all of our releases.
With Darkhorse releases, we will pull the Prototype off the tracker as it is included in the volume release provided by Darkhorse. They provide the official translation blessed by Miura, so be a true fan and support DH and through DH, Miura.

how can i make a donation maibe this can be every mounth 50 euros whit who must i talk to give money??
August 11th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
and man… can enyone tell me what’s hapening whit caska????
August 11th, 2006 at 11:02 pm
KLAU$$ I’m sure someone on the board will answer your questions about donations, so don’t worry.
AS for Casca, after being “taken” by Femto, she lost her sanity and hasn’t regained it since (unless you count a certain side-story) To be short, she’s lost all her marbles and one of the reasons Guts+crew are going to elfhelm is the odd chance she may be cured (which is up for moral debate)
August 11th, 2006 at 11:05 pm
oh man thats all?? so …small?
shit if i i can lern spanish..surley i could learn japones!!!!!
tge writer has a twisted mind……now the storry its like the lord of the rings or something….

August 11th, 2006 at 11:15 pm
There is a paypal donation sign on the right hand side on the main page… or go into the forums @ http://forums.mindwerks.net and there is also another donate.
This account is the same used to pay our servers. It isn’t necessary to donate, but it is always welcome. We would rather you save that money to buy your language’s official release however, like DarkHorse’s volumes.
August 11th, 2006 at 11:19 pm
ahaaa!! mabe this can help to speed up the process…..money speak you know even in japones
August 11th, 2006 at 11:25 pm
I\’m not following, money will not make us work any faster. We only accept donations because I pay out of pocket (read at a loss) to keep this place up and running.
If I\’m not cutting the check, then this all goes away. Not to worry you, I plan on keeping this place up and running even if we do not get any donations.
Hopefully this sinks in to those that think those of EG as elitist… sorry, we pay out of pocket for our resources and as such reserve the right not care.
August 11th, 2006 at 11:30 pm
well thats good to hear… this its a hobby right?
if threre will be 20-30 like me …that will help! will not?
August 11th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
Yes, it is purely hobby. We do not profit from this. We would rather have Dark Horse profit which in the end makes Miura profit.
When Miura is happy, we are happy.
August 11th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
what’s this side story tyler is talking about?
August 11th, 2006 at 11:35 pm

wrong chapters on the individual filenames.
August 12th, 2006 at 1:32 am
Ife’s right. Files need to be renamed
Awesome work guys. Great chapter. But can someone tell me why are there these relatively short breaks and then long ones? Like the last one was two weeks ago, but the next one won’t be for a month?
August 12th, 2006 at 1:58 am
i think Miura broke his arm…
if that hapens… then is hell on earth and on this site winth questions HHH
August 12th, 2006 at 3:58 am
Oh yeah! I hope my Bittorrent will work!!!
Thx!
August 12th, 2006 at 5:32 am
I know it’s redundant, but THANKS AGAIN.
Thanks for bringing Berserk to the fans all over the world.
Keep up the awesome job, you guys rock.
August 12th, 2006 at 8:31 am
Another great HQ chapter by EG thanks a lot for your great work
August 12th, 2006 at 11:32 am
Great guys!!! keep up the good job!!!
just something to mention: the chapter pics name are 277 but it’s small thing
August 12th, 2006 at 11:39 am
THX a lot for another episode
August 12th, 2006 at 2:06 pm
The side-story is the Dreamcast Berserk game. The story is not found in the manga, but happens probably after Griffith/Femto’s rebirth and before everybody catches up to Guts (IIRC).
August 12th, 2006 at 8:09 pm
THANKS A BUNCH GUYS! Coooool! Next chapter is gonna come out same day as my birthday!
I might swing by the forum tomorrow and post some goodies!
Cheers!
August 13th, 2006 at 1:52 am
ic, thanks whoever u are.
August 13th, 2006 at 3:27 am
Hello, i’m a frenchie ! I want to testimony my gratitude…. This manga is a wonderful one and apparently you like it as much as mine ! Thanks, really thanks for all berserk fan’s they aren’t japonese…; in france, the number fourteen has left and when i had read your release… I said to me ” whaouh ! je ne suis pas pret a m’arreter de lire ca ! ”
you’re the best
August 13th, 2006 at 4:17 am
Hey I have a great idea for your releases.
Why dont you post your releases on filesharing websites like rapidshare, gigeshare, megaupload, oxyshare,… that would certanly help spread your releases and help your torrents.
August 13th, 2006 at 9:11 am
@Yani: We won’t ever do that, I don’t want those services to earn a single dime Miura work or our translations (think of all those damn advertisements).
On the forums in the Interstice (you have to have an account) are litterally hundreds of fans who have hosted direct downloads with link posted in the download thread.
We have no problems with people hosting it themselves, so long as the post the link for all in the forums.
I may setup an area on the blog here to also host direct downloads that fans provide if they are signed up.
Bottom line, we don’t want any of those ‘free download’ services to earn a single dime as they are used by other more unscrupolous people that we don’t want to associate with. So if you see anything with Evil_Genius in the the title on these types of services, we did not put them there and we won’t ever link to them.
Bit-Torrent is here to stay as the primary distribution method. It is easy for us to get the ball moving, hard to trackdown who the primary source is and thanks to Azureus’ encryption it is hard to shutdown and have any blow-hard from a company coming after you.
August 13th, 2006 at 10:31 am
Yes, the filenames are fucked, I kind of didn’t really fix them up properly, eh, heh. None of us caught it because we were too busy checking the chapter for errors in the whole scanlation project to even notice the filenames. It’s not that big of a deal anyway, so yeah. I’m tired most of the time anyway to function properly.
August 13th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
…
love Berserk
I watched the anime during early summer
then I started to read the manga last thursday, I reached the end of volume 31 before I reliezed that vol 32 was only just starting

August 14th, 2006 at 12:47 am
So berserk chapters are released bimonthly?
August 14th, 2006 at 4:57 pm
Berserk episodes are generally released every two weeks, sometimes 3 or 4. Rarely more.
August 15th, 2006 at 3:39 am
They are usually released biweekly to monthly, if you would care enough to check the dates between each chapters. Miura occasionally takes well-deserved breaks to ease up on his workload.
August 15th, 2006 at 6:46 am
i have not been able to find a storry more captivating than this…..
i just cant wait to know wat hapens next….. but this waiting its anoing
August 19th, 2006 at 11:37 am
Not do be rude or anything, but what happened to the “big release of more manga later this weekend”?
August 19th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
It got moved to next weekend, because I couldn’t be bothered making it this week. Plus, I’m busy.
August 20th, 2006 at 5:04 am
That scene when the White Hawk and Gatts cross sights, it gave me the chills, I take it as a premonition of things to come = )
great work, as always E-G
August 22nd, 2006 at 7:28 pm
its getting closer and closer …. i cant wait …
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:09 pm
I want to thank the whole team of evil-genius for the awesome work you are doing scanning and translating each chapter since the number 1.
.
Berserk is an amazing manga, in fact I think it’s the best I’ve ever read (well ”Akira” of Katsuhiro Otomo is also a master piece as ”Evangelion” of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto).
I live in Spain (western Europe) and the editorial that nowadays sells it here (Mangaline) goes by the volume 29, so although I buy them I can’t wait to know what is gonna happen, and your scanlantions are very useful.
I repeat saying:
Thanks a lot guys and keep up with the good work
August 23rd, 2006 at 6:52 pm
@Chris Rodal: Thanks much for the praise, but just wanted to let you and others know that we didn’t start scanlating Berserk till beginning of volume 27.
Sorry for the delay and the ‘false’ statement about more releases coming that weekend. We still have releases to go out, but we are waiting for the next Berserk and try to get it all out then.
Again, thanks much! You guys rock
August 24th, 2006 at 11:58 am
that’ s why i love berserk, it’ s not necessarily cause of the action but more for the little things like in chapter 278 page 16-20 when guts wakes up only for the reason to see (feel) griffith and than the close up of griffiths eyes; great, great work miura!
August 24th, 2006 at 8:27 pm
SO mormel i found you.
you made fun of me in gamespot cause i downloaded the scans and look at you here. You’re very sarcastic! like griffith
August 24th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
man… i reread …and i found something…verry interesting ….
in vol 22 Serpico’s storry iz similar with guts storry .
The same thing hapens to Guts when he ran away as a kid whith an arow
in his back and almost dies …He has the same choise to figh to live or to die wich is easyer…
The point is that Serpico says “rvenge is a foolish thing that causes nothing but more revenge” i think this will play a major roll in Guts future ..Guts can learn a lot from this cold guy..
If you read closely more the storyy resembles Guts storry in one way beacause he must chose when time comes …
Like Serpico chose to burn his mother….
In Guts case that could be Griffith or…Caska?
I think that Caska is the only thing that binds Guts to the real world…thats why she is so important!
I think that Caska is the only thing that will keep Guts human…like how SkullKnight sais if Guts can do this as a man (human) not like a crazy demon!
August 25th, 2006 at 12:31 am
cmon guys what do you think??’
August 26th, 2006 at 1:17 am
Alright, I’m not sure whats happening with this. I finished downloading it and I’m about to unzip it. When I do, everything is from 277 (not 278). Uhm, any suggestions? And is this only happening to me lol?
August 26th, 2006 at 8:30 am
It was a naming mistake, if you have read the original 277, you would know that what you have now is 278.
Somethings just don’t turn out right in 4AM in the morning.
August 27th, 2006 at 2:11 am
Man!! at the end of 278 Guts opens his righ eye too???Or i am seeng dubble…:)?
August 27th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
Upon closer inspection… based on the shape of the eyebrow, and other subtle hints…I agree that that totally looks like his right eye…
August 28th, 2006 at 3:11 pm
Aw, and I was looking forward to more Angel Heart. It’s an awesome manga and I really thank you for scanslating it!! Thank you very much!!
August 29th, 2006 at 6:34 am
what will hapen if caska regains her sanaty… what will guts do?
i dont think that he will kill griffith in the end and that will be afful..
i hope that he will kill griffith with that big sword of his…but not slise him not with the edge … but kill him like a fly that he become ….
he become a bug that guts will squash…hhh (i dont think that i wrote that well..i f..t up my english whith this spanish…
August 29th, 2006 at 6:35 am

August 29th, 2006 at 2:49 pm
Awsome, am so glad i found this site! Thank you
August 30th, 2006 at 12:23 am
LISTEN GUYS I LOVE YOUR STUFF.YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST BUT EVERY TIME I DOWNLOAD THE 278 CHAPTER I GET CHAPTER 277 WHATS GOING ON????????????/
August 30th, 2006 at 7:53 am
@INSANE-DVP- Looks like some people can\’t be bothered to actually read the above comments or use basic deduction skills to realize that if you open the file up, regardless of its naming (our mistake, how many times do we have to type this?) 278 is exactly the content inside the file.
Using all caps is the quickist way to be ignored on the Internet since 1986 with the invention of the IBM extended 101 keyboard.
@andi: They are torrents, use a Bit-Torrent client to download. We do not offer direct downloads, and no we won\’t do it just for you. However, there is a nifty section in the forums where generous people around world offer DL links to the said rar files. http://forums.mindwerks.net -> look in the Interstice, you must sign up to get access.
August 30th, 2006 at 9:07 am
Yeah, I put in chapter 277 in chapter 278 on purpose as a prank, you stupid dumb bastard. That’s what’s going on you prick. Don’t come screaming in caps and telling us you love our work, try to grow some brain cells.
Suckers.
August 30th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
hhhhh evil guy!!!!
September 1st, 2006 at 6:11 pm

September 3rd, 2006 at 10:08 pm
Sept 8th is right around the corner guys. It’s gonna be a big one.
September 3rd, 2006 at 10:10 pm
uuuuw can’t waite :d:d
September 3rd, 2006 at 10:45 pm
I’ve been reading berserk for a couple of years. ever since after the anime ended and I thought, this ending sucks. Actually, I thought the whole anime sucked. Anyways, after awhile, I by some coincident found out that there was a manga… and it continued even after the anime ended. I downloaded volume 13 ( i think that’s where the anime ends) and after seeing what kind of a series this really was, I wanted more, like some kind of drug. I just had to get more. This is probably one of the best comics ever. I usually don’t like knights n stuff cuz all metalbands made it gay. But berserk is somehow different, with a lot of depth. Not to mention the drawings, was he born with a pencil? God damn it!!! Thanks for the great work n all that, keep it up. Since it’s not beeing released in my language (swedish that is) i feel free to use your site until it is. Peace out y’all
Btw, anyone else thinks that the newest chapter is not as good as they used to be? I don’t know if i’s because before i used to sit a coupple of hours reding volumes and now it takes like 5mins to read a chapter and that might be spoiling the whole experience… and belive me, i tried to stop but… no luck, im badly hooked
September 4th, 2006 at 6:07 am
New releases on September 8th?! Any chance Angel Heart will be included in that update?
September 4th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
To Roqqau
The chapters are good, there is no change in its quality. But poor man cant draw any faster. Can you see how many lines and details berserk have? It is the most B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L manga I have seen. Would you change that for a chapter every week? Nooooooooo!
As you said, I was hooked on manga a year ago and enjoyed everything I could find. For hours I used to read online manga and enjoyed it. I got used to my ping and clicked next before I was finished with the page so the page would respond. Now you can say that I’m past the most hours for hours reading, but I come every week or so to download the next chapters in the 6-7 mangas I read comes out. And I am sooo thankful to the translators, the scans, the editors, the proofreaders (must not forget them
) and of course Kentaro Miura and the other authors of manga.
September 4th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
Note of course, that September 8th isn’t the definite date..it might be a day late, but it will definitely be out. Of course, 8th of September points to the time zone in America, not anywhere else.
September 5th, 2006 at 10:02 am
this is my favority site. for down the best BERSERK!thanks very much mans!!!!
September 6th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
one more day…..
September 7th, 2006 at 11:06 pm
Who’s the kid that stand on the beach? Is it the poor thing that Caska gave birth? Isn’t that guts baby? Maybe after the divine retribution chapter he is reborn? I dont think that kid is born to be evil, poor kid it just look like a monster, he always warn guts whenever Caska is in danger.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:00 am
kunichiwa!U are the answer!,Good lookin out chief!U da man!(^_*)
