The late Kentarou Muira’s Berserk manga will return with a new arc starting with chapter 374, which is releasing this September. The new chapter will be available in Hakusensha’s next Young Animal magazine issue.
Kentarou Muira passed away on May 6, 2021 due to acute aortic dissection. His passing was mourned by millions of fans around the world. In June 2022, Muira’s group of assistants and apprentices at Studio Gaga continued the manga series in Young Animal, and a new Berserk arc will begin in just two week’s time.
Berserk Manga Chapter 374
2023’s 18th issue of Young Animal magazine confirms that Berserk manga chapter 374 will release on September 22 in issue #19. This chapter will continue the story of Berserk with a new arc. Moreover, the 42nd compiled volume of Berserk will release exactly one week later on September 29. The previous volume was the last one that Kentarou Muira worked on before his passing. This particular volume of Berserk released in December 2021, and Dark Horse Comics published the volume in November 2022.
The current Berserk series is led by Kouji Mori, a lifelong friend of Miura for nearly 30 years. He’s supervising the manga going forward with decades of experience, vowing to adapt the vision of Miura’s Berserk. Shortly after Muira’s passing in 2021, Mori drew a one-shot manga that tells the story of his friendship and creative partnership with the Berserk creator.
Here’s an overview of Berserk volume 41 via Dark Horse Comics:
The world of manga was devastated by the May 2021 death of Berserk creator Kentaro Miura. But Miura-sensei left behind one final volume to cap his thirty-plus-year commitment to his signature vision, a fitting curtain call for the beloved series, filled with joy, sadness, and laughter.
Though released from the prison of her mind, Casca cannot escape the reminders of the terrors she has experienced. And nothing triggers these harrowing memories more than Guts the Black Swordsman, who faced those same horrors in his relentless quest to see Casca healed. But could the reappearance of a strange, mute boy be the key to bringing peace to Casca’s troubled soul?
