Berserk: Deluxe Edition

Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 collects the first three volumes of the Berserk manga, introducing the Black Swordsman arc and the beginning of the Golden Age arc. The story follows Guts, a solitary mercenary wielding an enormous sword as he hunts monstrous Apostles while bearing a mysterious brand that draws evil forces to him. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Guts travels through a brutal medieval world scarred by war, superstition, and supernatural horrors.

The volume then turns back in time to Guts's youth, chronicling his harsh upbringing as a child mercenary and his first encounter with Griffith, the charismatic leader of the Band of the Hawk. After being defeated in a duel, Guts joins Griffith's renowned mercenary company, where he forms close bonds with Griffith and the skilled warrior Casca. As the Band of the Hawk rises to prominence on the battlefield, the foundations are laid for the friendships, ambitions, and rivalries that will shape Guts's destiny.
