The manga of “Berserk“has been in charge of the coalition formed by Kouji Mori, Kentarou Miura’s lifelong friend, and Studio Gaga, the team of assistants who worked side by side for years with Miura-sensei for some time now. Obviously, no matter how clear may have the steps to follow, it is very difficult to trace the exact same path that the original author would have taken, and hence everything is done with great care. This is also why It seems that there is not much rush to reach the end of “Berserk”.
Kouji Mori assures that there are still a few years ahead of Berserk
It was in an interview with the EFE agency (via Yahoo!) That Mori-sensei has talked about what we could expect from this point until the end of “Berserk”:
- To begin with, Mori-sensei assures that the version of Berserk that he is creating with Studio Gaga will be shorter than what Miura-sensei would have executed in life. ????
- The reason? Logically they know where to go and how the plot should evolve until the end of the story, but the fact that not wanting to fill gaps in free will It causes progress to be made faster than if Miura-sensei had continued working as he pleased (probably because the real author does have enough weight to deviate, expand, and similar things). ????
- It is with this in mind that Mori-sensei also reveals that Although the Berserk manga still has several years of activity left, it is quite convinced that it will not reach 10. That is, by 2033-2034 the Berserk manga should be a complete story. ????
- In general, Kouji Mori has never wanted to get too wet about what remains of the Berserk manga, so in any case These words must be taken as an estimate (especially since many things can change between now and 5 years, so to speak). ????
The truth is that what Mori-sensei comments on doesn’t seem crazy at all, because at the end of the day We know that when Miura-sensei was still alive, he planned to start making strong efforts to make the “Berserk” manga progress quickly to its final stage.. It is difficult to say how many manga chapters these remaining years of the work will translate into, but what seems certain is that Mori and Gaga will continue working at the pace they see necessary so that everything is in the best possible way.
