The "Black Swordsman," once a mercenary, now seeks revenge. Despite a turbulent childhood, Guts finally trusts and respects someone, only to have them betray him by taking away everything that matters for their own selfish desires. Branded for death, Guts now spends his days being chased by demonic entities.
With his unyielding will, imposing strength, and a monstrous sword, Guts embarks on a harrowing journey of misfortune, undeterred by death itself. His sole goal is to take the head of the one who robbed him and his loved ones of their humanity.
Additionally, Volume 14 includes the one-shot entitled "Berserk: The Prototype."
