This is good, but when will we stop having casca and farnese kidnapped and in need of saving?
Apart from that aspect, I liked the volume. It was fun and dynamic. The art is gorgeous and the story is solid.
The monster designs are chiefs kiss, they are so disturbing and horrendous.
Have I mentioned, that my favorite thing is Guts having friends and being able to rely on them and they care for him and they respect and trust him. Guts is no longer alone and I'm having feelings. ...more

.....Wtf was that last panel? Haha
It was all lighthearted until it went to mind fuckery again.

my prediction was way off
everyone fought to the best of their capabilities
Serpico proved formidable and a very fast learner with his wind sylphs
the little witch proved fierce but she needs a lot of preparation time
Isidro was helpless i think he will push himself the next few volumes and he will be effective for the team.
I love how kentaro miura is trying to rationalize his twisted as fuck world.
the whole spirit world and the spirits and angels is very interesting

MAGIC ✨ It’s Serpico and Schierke’s time to shine!
P.S. the final scene of this volume is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen in a while. I can’t.

Berserk is proof that some stories can't be told in words alone. The creatures, the characters, the scenery -- everything is best told exactly how Kentaro Miura envisions it. Books or movies don't scare me, they never do. But I'd be lying if I said Berserk doesn't give me the chills. As fucked up as this series is, it's pretty damn beautiful.

Badass fights this volume and a disturbing ending!
This is the 25th volume in the Berserk series. In this volume Guts and crew defend a town from trolls, an ogre, and a kelpie. We also get to watch Schierke wield some pretty awesome magic. At the end of it the trolls are swept away but so are Casca and Lady Farnese; they have both been taken captive by the trolls.
Schierke teaches us a lot more about how magic works and explains about the different astral planes. The addition of magic to the series has been fascinating and I really enjoy it. I lo ...more

Their freaking magic system. Molding western concept of fantasy magic into medieval christianic concepts. Its the turning point in berserk were the genre turns into full fledged medieval fantasy.
Also move out the way Rape Horse Rape Troll is coming.

i have similar feelings about this one as the previous tbh but still not bad
Good volume. Progresses the world and trolls plot and also develops the characters that have assembled around Guts.

That magic is powerful...
I like where this is going. It seems the dark theme is subsiding. It gives the readers a bit of rest from brutalities of the previous Volumes.
GOOD VOLUME AFTER 2 BAD
GOOD:)

Guts and his party fights together in this volume, and Schiereke helps explore the astral magic of Miura’s world more thoroughly. Most of this volume is the main battle starting with the invasion of trolls. Guts fights an ogre and Serpico a kelpie, while Isidro feels left out but earns a sword from an old man. Despite everything that gets packed into the battle, the volume doesn’t feel overstuffed. This shows that Guts still can fight with sheer rage instead of magic, and that Serpico continues

There’s action in this one. Plenty of it. I’ve just noticed there are certain sayings on each of the volumes. On this one it says “Berserk is the hammer of the manga forge, a white-hot amalgam of bruising action, breathless horror, and brimstone humor that separates men from boys, wheat from chaff, and head from shoulders.” Ha, it fits so well. Some others of previous volumes had “teeth-rattling action, spine-chilling horror, and taboo-breaking humor”, “furious action, fearsome horror, and funer

This volume approaches reconstruction to Berserk's deconstruction themes, as our heroes combat evil in newly empowered ways that evoke the traditional fantasy adventuring party. I enjoyed this, especially the development of magic, including Serpico's Sylph blade and cloak and Schierke's invocation/posession spell. I really liked the arc between her and the priest.
Of course, it ends on some truly gruesome notes, to remind us that Berserk is horror, too, and you just have to keep reading for that ...more

Nice to see them develop the rules of magic in this world. Also awesome and creative designs for famous mythical creatures like the Trolls, Ogres, and Kelpie as while they look unique but they still resemble the more common depictions of these creatures. Also awesome to finally see a female character that can actually fight and she is pretty awesome but I still wish they would ease off the sexual imagery especially with Caska.
Berserk follows the adventures of Guts, the Black Swordsman. In this episode, Guts is joined by a small band of followers as they seek out their destiny in a land of people and creatures of myth. It is an interesting series and worth following.
Wow Amazing chapter of the characters of that witch with her amazing water spell and the fighting side by side between guts and serpico kicking ass to the trolls
3.25 stars
Another good volume.
I often find myself yelling out loud when I see some of the images on offer; troll rape followed by chest-bursting baby trolls is one memorable scene I won't soon be forgetting

Was that ending necessary though? It's awfully repetitive.
The rest was awesome though. Schierke is beast and I love her. I'm slowly warming up to Lady Farnese. ...more

The action was cool but it was drowned in exposition. That's all the one character does and she talked 90 percent of this. She better grow into a person or leave. Come on, Miura!

I like the kelpie / frog horse.
I read this about a week ago, back to back with 26, so I can't really distinguish between the two, but I enjoyed both of them very much.
