Berserk is a Japanese manga series created by Kentaro Miura, published by Hakusensha in the magazines Monthly Animal House (1989–1992) and Young Animal (since 1992). Since the late 2000s, the manga has been published irregularly, with frequent hiatuses. Following Miura's death in 2021, the series has been continued and supervised by Miura's friend, Kouji Mori, and drawn by Studio Gaga, consisting of Miura's assistants and apprentices.

The story follows Guts, an orphaned mercenary on his quest for revenge, and consists of five major story arcs: (volumes 1–3); (volumes 3–14); (volumes 14–21); (volumes 22–35); and (volumes 35–).

The chapters (called "episodes") are collected by Hakusensha in volumes, with the first volume released on November 26, 1990; the posthumous 41st volume, which includes the final chapters that Miura had created for the series, was released in 2021. 43 have been released as of 2025. Dark Horse Comics has been releasing the English editions of the volumes since October 22, 2003, and began publishing hardcover editions containing multiple volumes on February 27, 2019. The Japanese volumes were re-released with new cover art starting in 2016, following the rebranding of Hakusensha's Jets Comics imprint as Young Animal Comics. __TOC__
