Berserk is a manga about a swordsman named Guts and his adventures with a Band of the Hawk. In his struggles Guts questions his purpose in life and meets numerous foes and a few friends. During his journey he even finds love. But in this grim world happy moments are rare and usually comes with a price... Story takes place in a medieval fantasy setting. In the manga characters are very well written and the artwork is superb. Berserk has a few different anime adaptations. Berserk 1997 anime has awesome soundtrack and nice art style. But it skips some important characters and events and ends on a biggest cliffhanger ever. 3 movies cover a bit more of the story but I dislike their art style. Berserk 2016 and 2017 are just terrible because they use very bad CGI. So reading the manga is your best option. In my opinion Berserk is the best manga ever created and one of the best works of fiction. It is similar to Game of thrones because it also has a lot of conspiracies and betrayals. Berserk is dark story with mature themes so I can't recommend it to kids or sensitive people.
