The manga section, of course.

How many volumes does Miura intend to make for Berserk?

I know that he said it somewhere in a interview but i can´t find.

A lot... I don't think he's ever given a definite number. Miura did say in an interview that he was inspired by Guin Saga, and that manga has released 100+ volumes. That's the only interview I know of.

I heard he was aiming to make the largest manga ever. But at this rate he'll never make it. I would guess he is going for like 60 chapters max.

Given the current length of the series, and how much it looks like there is still to go, I'm going to assume you meant 60 volumes max.

I dont see why he cant go past a 100 volumes, there is so much he could touch on that hasent been touched on to make it go to at least 100 vols. the only way I could see him stopping at 60 vols is death, which I hope doesnt happen for another 40 years.

HELLO!

I'm new here. First time poster, long time leecher!

Before EG i used to frequent the Hawks.org for all my Bersek needs after stumbling upon the manga a few years ago. I'm sure many of you have heard of the Hawks.

Recently i've noticed that they had a bunch of other older mangas that are slow as all heck to d/l - slow connection - site shut downs - etc.. don't know exactly why. Some of these mangas are complete and very good reads.

So i had a question:
Is it possible for EG to host those mangas if at all possible?

(i understand that would mean EG downloading them - "why not get em your damn self?" you ask - well i don't have a computer that stays on 24/7).

In any case, if there are copyright issue, i understand (though i duobt it)
THANK YOU!! LOVE this site - keep up the wonderful work.

(PS: what happened to the slow down over the past week? I used to average d/l speeds ~400kb/s now i'm barely reaching ~90)
(SORRY FOR n00bing)

If you mean older mangas, you mean Hawks, then no. Copyright issues, etc, plus, we weren't involved in them. You'll figure something out. We don't host other people's stuff, and the only way you can get our releases is via BT or IRC. Leech elsewhere. We don't spoonfeed.

Most use BT to pretty much leech off seeders and other leechers. (Calm down - my ratios are usually 20:1 before logging off). In any case you weren't spoon feeding. More like sip-and-pass

As if there are no copyright issues with, for example, full metal alchemist?

So what if it was done by the Hawks and not EG? Call them up and ask them if it's ok -- Better yet, let's look at the bottom of your own signiture:

"Evil_Genius is in dire need of Chinese/Japanese to English translators and also experienced editors. Please send a PM to us if you're interested."

How about you look for translators? They're in the process of 'regrouping' and 'refocusing their core group' (meaning they're probably not gonna come out with much save for somehow getting new members themselves).

Or is there some sort of "intertube gang pixel-turf war" that says you can't even mention other groups that i don't know about?

Just a thought.

What the fuck are you saying... Ban him.

1. Evil_Genius does not, and never will, host the work of other groups.

2. Evil_Genius does not, and never will, host works already officially released in the US, like the old volumes by the Hawks.

3. We do not, as a rule, do joint projects, if that was what you were implying with the regrouping of the Hawks bit.

4. what

My original post was incredibly tolerant to you, but now my patience is getting real thin. It's obvious that you're a typical brainless leecher but I went easy on you regardless. You should have said 'ah ok' when I told you that you aren't getting your demands met here.

Your demands are still not going to be met. You can go and ask the Hawks in their forums if they want to host our stuff so you can download. We remove chapters from our BT tracker that are officially released.

Finally, I repeat, your demands/requests are denied. You won't get what you want here. This forum was not designed to answer the needs of leechers, it is to discuss the topics set out. We do not talk about scanlation politics or any of the sort here, nor will we provide any services to download chapter X of manga X.

does anyone know if muira has given a reason why he is delaying the releases of berserk manga all the time?
I mean 6 april for the next chapter... i mean wtf !!! thats a month from now and he only releasers 1 chapter...(the story hardly moves forward)
I can only think of that he is burned out or lacking ideas for the continuing of berserk or maybe hes busy with something else??

He is only one person, drawing lots of things by hand the old fashion way.

No underlings and no computer aided help. I'm patient, are you?


As for MoeWasHere: Sorry, I won't be hosting thehawk's work, because it simply isn't ours. If they asked, then we would consider it but it is generally bad form to just host other peoples work.

No, there isn't a turf-war, and hasn't been for 3 years. Hawks handle volumes, sk.net doesn't even believe in scanlation, and we fill the nitch.

As the volumes or chapters are released in the states, we remove them from our tracker. At least we try to, not like I go to Barnes & Nobel's and check the shelves for FMA, but if someone points it out then I'll take care of it.

We have a backlog of AngelHeart and Zetman we would like to plow through, so yes, more translators the better. Feel free to donate your time on this front if you are more than mono-lingual.

Bottom line is that this place exist for EG currently. So only EG related work gets released here. We are under no obligation to provide anything else, if anything at all.

wow seriously, is he all alone... well in that case its understandable
and yeah im kinda patient
was just worried he was giving up the manga, (from all the delayes )
but he really should get some assistant in the drawings and computers and stuff, would be easier for him too (but thats just my opinion )

He won't, I think he is having to much fun. No worries and more importantly, we need to kill those damn rumors on the 'Intarwebs' about it.

If you look at the amount of detail and soldiers in previous chapters, it's understandable why the delays are made. He draws this stuff all in advance and takes time, he doesn't magically draw it all out and print it when the deadline approaches.

If Miura is taking a break, he deserves it.

There were alleged 'rumours' before that YA was no longer supporting Berserk and therefore cancelling Berserk, hence the delay last time. Now, if people would just shut up and express out their deductions without solid evidence about the manga, then rumours would not spread like wildfire. I'm sick of answering things that start with 'I heard that...' and end with 'is that true?' Just be patient, and don't wish for the worse, and don't express them here or anywhere.

Thank you psi29a for an even handed response. I am just hoping to not see the demise of another great resource for manga. Hawks have sort of gone the way side and i'd hate to see that happen to EG. I wish i did speak Japanese in order to help. I don't. The best i could think of was the above idea.

Eldo, as for released chapters i understand and i wasn't asking about previous chapters of Berserk (since it seems there is extreme anger at anyone asking for such). I've already got the first few dozen chapters in lq and hq along with the anime. I just noticed that EG will pick up good note worthy mangas. Not hosting other people's work is understandable, i was just wondering aloud was all.

Actually Omanga has been working with the hawks on several other non-berserk projects and their forums are active. Since thehawks only do berserk volumes and those are far and few in between... it looks like they are dead but they are indeed not.

I don't think Miura works all alone, but he sets out all the basic designs, and probably only gets help with very standard drawings as well as inking, etc.

Every mangaka has assistants to handle the relative trivial work,, and yes, you're right. However, it seems the designs and sketches alone takes shitload of time, based from the recent chapters. Just look at how many soldiers there are on the battlefield, damn.

Well, Miura certainly is obsessive in his detailing. Just look at all the linework in every page of Berserk.

Hello everyone! As you can see this is my first post, after reading up a little bit and familiarizing myself with your forums I thought it would be a good time so say hello. I guess I should talk about how I first came across this amazing work of art that is Berserk. I was introduced to Berserk around 7 months ago and immediately became addicted! I started with the anime and after a long hiatus because of pesky real world things, only just got to the most recent volume of the manga two days ago. Im impressed by the in depth conversations that take place on these forums and thought they would be a good place to talk to other Berserk fans. I just wanted to say hi and I hope after reading the FAQ I didnt break any rules already

hah, so far so good.

welcome aboard, don't let the regulars scare you to much.

we all like berserk, well except for femto.
