Kentaro Miura began drawing at the age of 10, creating manga for his classmates, but quickly graduated to the real thing, working as an assistant to George Morikawa, the creator of boxing manga Hajime No Ippo, aged 18.
Berserk told the story of "Guts". A mercenary swordsman mixed up in a savage world of endless battles and magic, he's on a quest for revenge against his former master Griffith, who ascended to become a demon god. It was renowned for its unflinching, often brutal visual storytelling, mixed with some of the most dazzling and detailed art ever seen in manga.
Fans paid tribute to Miura online.

As a result of Berserk's popularity, an anime was produced in 1997. A film series, covering early story arcs from the manga, was produced in 2012, with an additional series released in 2016. Multiple video games based on Berserk were also released.
Berserk's serialization was ongoing and, as a result, Miura's manga will most likely remain unfinished.
