This is the 28th volume in the Berserk series. Guts and company are trying to resume their journey to Puck’s elven homeland. Two things happen on this leg of the journey; one is that Casca finds a strange boy on the beach that she seems to share a strong bond with, the second is that they are attacked by lizard monsters.

Guts is still recovering from the horrible wounds he received from Zodd; now he must done the Berserker Armor again to protect his traveling companions. After that battle Guts and companions seek shelter in Vritannis. Schierke wanders off on her own to seek solitude and ends up being befriended by a strange young woman.

I really enjoyed this installment of Berserk. I love that we spent a lot of time with Guts and company and enjoyed learning more about Schierke; she is my favorite character in this series right now.

The illustration in this series is top notch and I continue to really enjoy the story. This volume had a lot of action and fighting but wasn’t quite as violent as previous volumes.

Overall this was an awesome installment in the Berserk series. I really continue to enjoy the action, the characters, and the storyline and am excited to see what else this series brings us. ( )
