This is the story of a man named Guts, who from the very moment of his birth knew death, because his mother was hanged shortly before giving birth. Shortly after he is picked up by a group of mercenaries attending to the demand of the wife of the head of the band, Guts from a young age will always train with bigger swords than he should, thus warning us of what is to come in the future.
story: 9.5
the story is simply spectacular, which literally tells the life of the protagonist from the beginning, thus appreciating all the obstacles that he will have to overcome to continue living. I will not dwell too much on this because the history must be known to everyone, simply to say that it reaches its peak in the golden age, but the level is always there, obviously some sagas are better than others but normally all of them help us to understand history and they are just spectacular.
art: 10
the art of kentaro miura is spectacular, it is progressively improving as expected but the change and improvement that occurs is simply spectacular, at first it is style is good, above average, with shades of rawness and good character design more than As it progresses, the level of detail and effort increases until it reaches the perfect.
characters: 9.25
There are extremely complex characters such as guts, casca and griffith who go through an impeccable evolution and that honestly not everyone can understand especially if you are a teenager or at least you may not fully understand it. in the case of csaca we can see how her heart divides in two and she plans to stay with the man who admires her and once saved her from a cruel fate or on the contrary choose a life with guts, but both are for her the man who ever saved her which raises if she really loves guts. Regarding guts, we see him go through multiple stages from innocence, the love that he processed from boy to gambino and his adoptive mother, the period of adaptation when arriving at the band of the falcon to end up considering them as a family and as a child who has already grown up. He ends up abandoning her, although that would be the decision that would condemn him and the rest of the band, later we see how he almost becomes a monster, on several occasions being more of a monster than the apostles up to the current arches where thanks to his new Comrades, the true new band of the falcon is gradually growing and maturing as a person and character. on the other hand we have characters like isidro who wants to be guts, being the opposite of guts ... guts was involved in war from his childhood without being able to escape while isidro escaped the war guts is the greatest living warrior as a result of his goals while isidro's goal is precisely to be the best warrior. from serpico and farnese to say that they are well built, their past is good and the author gave himself the time and the necessary pages to develop it correctly. Schierke also undergoes an improvement although he is not very noticeable and perhaps he is the weaker character narratively speaking of the group.

regarding enjoyment the only downside is the eternal hiatus of the work otherwise a 10/10
