I'm sad. I hope Miura had a happy life and felt the overwhelming love people have for his art.
I started reading around 15 years ago in high school, it was my first manga. I've stopped reading manga in general, but Berserk was the one thing I still followed. Whenever a chapter came out, it felt like a gift from Miura, a glimpse into the world and story he wanted to tell.
Art and graphic design have been a big part of my life, and I got into it because of Berserk. I started using photoshop to make joke images (I believe they're called "memes" these days) and wallpapers related to Berserk on this forum. And that led me to joining EG and learning more about graphic design, and making friends along the way. Back when this place was lively, heck we had some good times. We joined for Berserk, but stayed for the discussion. Well, and then we mostly stopped discussing, but we still stayed for Berserk. Also I want to mention the forum on theblackswordsman.com, it's been gone for many years but I remember good times with the people there as well.
Miura left us with a great work, even unfinished, but damn if I don't still wish to see what he would've had in store for the end. But so it goes. Berserk is something I'll always treasure, and as life goes on I'm sure to revisit it time and time again.
