Berserk is a masterpiece by the famous cartoonist Kentaro Miura. The work shows the strong contrast and distortion between light and darkness, which is also the greatest charm of Berserk. Griffith, who sold his soul to the devil, is called the Eagle of Light as the God's Hand of Darkness, while Guts, who fights against darkness, is the black swordsman that people are forbidden to mention; the leader of the religious knights who likes sexual abuse, the governor who likes pedophilia, and the king who has lust for his daughter, these people who are inconsistent in appearance and reality and confuse black and white, constitute the various characters in the book.
