Kentaro Miura Talks New Manga 'Duranki,' Future of 'Berserk' and More in New Interview – OTAQUEST

Comic Natalie sat down with Kentaro Miura for a new interview this week, as the creator aimed to ease fan anxieties as well as to promote his new series.

this is maybe the most important berserk-related interview that has been released in years. some highlights:

- miura is creating another manga, but having his full-time assistants (who he is paying well enough for them to all afford houses apparently) do the majority of the work so that the pace at which berserk is released isn’t effected

- he bought his studio a bunch of new equipment and hired new assistants, and considers this new manga “training” so that his assistants can learn his art style and create berserk chapters faster

- the reason that the boat arc / the recent chapters have taken so long is because miura was having trouble transitioning to digital art:

- berserk is only halfway done:

- miura still really likes drawing berserk to the point where he ends up doing most of the work that his assistants could be doing
