Initially the first impression when i began to read were: "what about the context of the story?". Actually it came later with the next chapters but i was so excited to understand the story that i kept questioning "what next, what next?". The main character seems to be a cold heart man, killing without thinking, but the story "Berserk" it's all about that. Gutts suffered his entire life, borning from a dead body, walking the path of blood with his sword in his youth. Pain, pleasure, agony, wickedness comes with this story specially when he meets Griffith, his bestfriend that shares his dream of being the future king of Midland and use Gutts' power to do that. Soon or later, you'll uderstand how much Griffith betrays Gutts. I trully recommend you to read this mangá, without taboos, everything is explicit and relates with some issues from the past about wars and abuse at all levels, powerfull story with a art that grows better and better.
