Dark Horse recently released Berserk Volume 42 in both paperback and ebook formats on March 18th, with the paperback currently priced at $11.80 (originally $15) on Amazon. This marks the first new volume published since Miura`s passing in 2021. The 192-page paperback features a fold-out, double-sided cover and advances the Fantasia storyline, the fifth major arc of the manga. Its creation was supervised by Koji Mori, Miura`s close friend, and executed by Miura`s dedicated assistants.
Additionally, readers might be interested in The Flame Dragon Knight, a novel expanding the Berserk universe. Originating from a concept by Kentaro Miura and penned by Makoto Fukami, this 192-page side story delves into the backstory of a prominent antagonist from Berserk. Berserk: The Flame Dragon Knight is accessible in paperback for $15.

For those who favor more compact books, all 42 volumes, also found within the Deluxe Editions, are still available in their standard trade paperback format. Each individual volume contains approximately 200 pages and has a manufacturer`s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $15, though discounts are frequently offered on Amazon. The initial 15 trade paperbacks are listed below.
It`s worth noting, however, that acquiring three individual trade paperbacks often proves more costly than purchasing the equivalent Deluxe hardcover edition. For example, buying the first three standard editions separately would total around $36, which is approximately $8 more than the price of the first Deluxe Edition.

Over the years, Berserk has inspired numerous television and film adaptations. Among these, the 1997 anime series is widely considered the most cherished rendition of Miura`s narrative. While it became available on Blu-ray last year, it is presently out of stock.
The Golden Age Arc, a film trilogy originally released between 2012 and 2013, also saw a Blu-ray release last year. The Golden Age Arc: Memorial Edition re-edits these three films into a 13-episode television series format. This edition is currently discounted by 35% on Amazon, reducing its price to $45.80 from $70.
Finally, the 2016 adaptation, while having a dedicated fanbase, is often criticized for its less-than-stellar animation quality. Despite this, the 2016 series continues the narrative directly after the Golden Age Arc, featuring compelling characters and plot developments throughout its 24 episodes. Berserk 2016: The Complete Series on Blu-ray is available for $39.62, a significant reduction from its original $70 price on Amazon.
