Zuck the Fairy and Charlotte “Iron Slab” Fierro begin our two part series on Kentaro Miura’s seminal dark fantasy manga series Berserk. This episode covers the first 3 volumes, and the next episode will cover volumes 4-14. The manga series continues after that but 14 concludes the first big portion and provides a satisfying conclusion if committing to 42 (and counting) volumes seems intimidating.
