Berserk
It's no secret that Kentaro Miura was one of manga's greatest gifts. Berserk's world, stories, and characters will live on for generations to come. Berserk is a dark and twisted fantasy manga series with some grotesque horror elements, if you haven't read it yet. It's a dangerous and unforgiving world. It's twisted and terrifying, but hope is what keeps you reading.
Guts is the protagonist, a man born from a hanged body and raised by a mercenary band, the leader of which, Gambino, is the closest thing Guts has to a parent. Griffith, the Band of the Hawk's calm, fierce, and power-hungry leader, recruits Guts. Beyond its characters, the world of Berserk leaves an indelible impression. The true horror of this manga can also be found here.
Berserk was a major inspiration for Dark Souls' monstrous world, and it shows. Take the grimmest, darkest fantasy novels and stories you can think of and crank up the blood, gore, and inhuman events to 11. That’s Berserk: a perfect, chilling blend of action, fantasy, and horror manga, delivered through horrific monster design and plotting.
