I don't now who rated it lower than 7 (far to low), but that must be either a 8-16 year old girl or a conserned mother lol. This manga is superb. But it is a seinen manga, so if your'e 14 or below, u shouldn't rate it. It's not ment for u. And please don't rate it if u just read the 1st chapter.
And it's imo stupid to compare it to any other mangas such as One Piece. that is for teens 12+. I don't care expaining why that is stupid, 'cause that is imo obvious.
well... that was a lot of nuisance dealt with, he, he...

Berserk is the single greatest manga ever written.
You've got to read through at least the fourth volume before passing judgement, though. The first three aren't that great...after that, though, it becomes great.
Berserk>All.

i read the first volume..not impressed. just a guy wielding a big sword cutting everything in it's path..
errr... anyway, One Piece is an awesome manga as well (hey, it outsold Berserk didn't it? = P). well, BTT, Berserk. like One Piece, an awesome manga. i can't think of any flaw this series has except maybe for its bi-weekly release (i believe everyone'll be happy if it was weekly, no?). if the Shonen genre has One Piece, then the one for the older audience (seinen, was it?) has Berserk.
Monsters, demons, humans, elfs, all fight to survive in this dark theme.
the children who say one piece is the best manga ever better take notice of berserk
the one and only.. nuff said
a lot !!!
best manga i've ever read
best manga i've ever read
hell yeah. I'll start reading it again.
nothing more to add it rocks!
