Berserk: The Flame Dragon Knight

Looking for a masterpiece? A manga with an “epic” feel no other manga has been able to replicate? Here you are. Berserk tells the tale of a swordsman haunted by woe and bad luck. As the story unwinds, we follow Guts through his past, allowing us to experience his personality change during his constant battle against fate... We follow him through waves of despair and hardships offset only by the flickering fires of friendship and trust. Eventually, Guts becomes a maelstrom of opposing emotions, and the question arises, will he continue on his path of all-consuming revenge even if it means losing everything he has come to care for? Berserk is easily one of the best manga I have ever read with well-developed, well-written characters and a deep, intricate plot. Trigger warning: There's lots of action, blood, gore, nudity, violence, and horrific monsters.
