Yawn.. still boring I’m afraid. I’d be more interested in following this storyline if it hadn’t been years since we’ve really seen Guts in action. And May 22nd doesn’t really offer much hope of any change in that. At least Miura’s following a pretty regular release schedule.. But how long can he keep it up?

It looked to me like some of the artwork early in the chapter was rushed or somehow didn’t look entirely like Miura’s style, maybe it was largely done by his helpers while he handled the big scenes.

there’s not a whole lot of line work in the beginning- everything’s straight blacks and tones- tones being what studio gaga is good for. i love this chapter. classic miura- he spends years leading you into a showdown between griffith and ganishka, then at the very last possible moment he gives you a flashback, followed by the very last thing you could expect.

I agree with Henrik, I found both this chapter and the one before lacking a lot of details, in backgrounds in particular. Doesn’t seem to me that Miura is working that much on Berserk, even after such a long absence.

Well at least the end of this chapter is very interesting, finaly something new!

Thank you a lot. Definitely worth the wait. The chapter is great. Really nice twist in the plot. Not only did I not expect Griffith to try and win Ganishka to his side (although I guess I should have) but I never would have thought Skull Knight would appear. This opens lots of new perspectives… After waiting a loong time to see how things develop with Guts & co & maybe (if they ever reach it) Elfhelm, I think the first time I would actually prefer seeing a chapter with Griffith.

Anyway, “EG is DA’ BOMB !”

franky house’s translation says that the mother doted on her younger son(which was ghaniskha) and poisoned the older son.
But when I read your translation it was stated that ghaniskha was poisoned so that his younger brother would be king instead.
which one is it?

Really awesome chapter. What a great twist to the end.

Would have been much better if some fool wouldnt’t have told us some spoilers… Now I want DL your stupid game, Carlos.

reticle-eye:

Looking over the chapter (and knowing our translator) I would have to say ours is the right one. You can see that it was Ghaniskha who was poisoned, plus he was the one who killed his brother.

when you think great animes and mangas come out , miura strikes back and smacks you right in the face ‘hail to the king baby, i own the god hand’
rebellion Says:

what i meant is that miura still is master of plot twists and originality and never know what to aspect from, realy have no idee what skull knight will do there

Maan The Kusions must have really crapy poison if
Ganishka drank it twice and still moved around afterwards..

I hopre Skull Knight doesent die or join griffith or some other crapy shit in the next chapter…
Astenan Says:
May 14th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
I sense next chapter will be about Gutts and his party spending their time on their cosy ship – that’s how it’s with Berserk lately – next chapter usually follows the least interesting part of the story, so once Grifith part gets good, time to change to something else…maybe not even ship sailing but that would be totally unfair to force us to read about let’s say Raban or other boring guy in next chapter – still possible though.
Anthropofagos Says:

Hi my friends,

at the end the one that was slashed by Skull Knight was not Griffith, but the Shadow-apostle that wears a mask, you can see him under Zodd’s wing when Griffith and him land in the Emperor’s core…

thanks Evil Genius!!!!!!!

i cant wait to see what’s next
Henrik Says:
May 15th, 2009 at 12:33 am
I hope you’re right, because even a boring Guts chapter would be more interesting to me right now.
Giove Says:
May 15th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Thanks E-G,
Nice poll too,it would seem most people here (like me) think that another loooong break are going to begin very soon.
yggdrasill Says:
May 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Astenan has the point. There is not a chance that this Skull Knight stuff will be continued in the next chapter.
And that is really fine by me, cause I’m really missing Guts.
btw great art by Miura (once more I have new desktop pic), and great work from EG. Thank you all ^_^

Glad to see two new chapters released…
I’d like to say they were short and sweet, but it was more short and bitter..

A lot of art, no dialogue.. and another can of worms has been opened.

It’d be nice to see guts make some progress on his hunt for fairy island… rather than see it hop back and forth between scenes.

And what was up with showing the kings past.. I could care less about his past, I just wanted to see Griffith kick his ass.. but nooo.. we get what we got instead, some kinda weird sympathy. Geez… I’m beginning to think that the Mangaka doesn’t know where he is headed story wise anymore.

Anyways, Thanks a lot evil genius. Your work is truly appreciated beyond belief.

Yet another Berserk release of typical Evil-Genius quality (which means, super-amazing quality, with great, accurate and naturally-flowing translation and with well-preserved artwork details, without artifacts)! And what a chapter! What a cliffhanger at the end!

I’m writing this comment just because I’ve read the thread for ch.303 on the E-G forums. I’m not a member there, so I’ll comment here: Please, rest assured that your hard work isn’t unnoticed. There are (literally) thousands of people appreciating what you are doing and the effort that goes to it is obvious. I’m a real quality freak (to the point of being obsessive IRL) and I *know* how hard is delivering such a quality release. So _THANK_YOU_ for helping Miura’s masterpiece become known to the Western audience in the quality it deserves!

(The DarkHorse release, which I’d like to support, isn’t available in my country and it’s lagging behind the original quite a bit. Still, I plan to order the DarkHorse volumes online some time in the future. But I doubt their translation and overall quality would be as good and consistent as yours. Real hobbyists sure are great in that respect.)

That *other* group that released this chapter seems to be just a bunch of incompetent attention whores. It’s obvious they don’t love what they’re doing as much as you do and unfortunately Berserk isn’t the only manga they’ve slaughtered translation-wise. But, hey, don’t let that disturb you, just let them in their ignorance.

I prefer quality over quantity or speed. So, thank you again for delivering just that.

PS. The only thing I can do to help your effort is seeding the Berserk torrents. So, I’ll be seeding as much as possible and I advise whoever else is reading this comment to do the same!
PS2. I hope I didn’t butcher the English language too much, I’m not a native speaker!

Anthropofagos has something there. Though I didn’t think Laukushas could shape shift (or i cant remember at least), let alone shape shift into Femto.

That was impressive. I thought Miura was heading for a dead end there for a while, but he sure has peaked my interest, yet again. Now, hopefully it’s back to the good old days with Berserk.

Sweet monkey, seems like Miura couldn’t help it anymore and indulged himself in this typical light/darkness bullcrap. I expected something better than tiresome, cliched idiocies. Still, the arrival of the Skull Knight was awesome and I really hope he gives a good bitch-slapping to that pompous, selfish Femto asshole (though the Skull Knight’s arrival at the birth of Femto shall always be the best).

The light and darkness stuff has been going on for ages in the prophecies and whatnot.
The CronoLink Says:
May 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 am
I understand that stuff is part of Berserk universe and since Miura “says so” therefore it’s “true”; that doesn’t change the fact that it’s nonsense (and lame, worst of all).
DrPepperPro Says:
May 23rd, 2009 at 4:50 am
Calling it lame and nonsense aren’t the facts, they’re your opinions.
