Led by a powerful necromancer who has mastered both the elements and the monsters of the deep, this hideous brigade may be too much for Guts the Black Swordsman and his companions to handle, even if Guts and Schierke are able to join forces and control the awful wrath of the Berserker armor. And will it even matter, if the Kushan emperor makes Guts an offer he can't refuse?

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?
