| According to the latest issue of manga magazine Young Animal, Miura Kentarou is going to write a short manga named "Gigantomakhia", which will be serialized in the next 6 issues of Young Animal. The name is drawn from Greek mythology and is about an epic war between forces led by Zeus and nether forces led by giant Alcyoneus. After that, he will restart the manga "Berserk" which has been in hiatus since end of 2012. Source: Scan of Young Animal, Natalie |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Because apparently finishing the best-selling dark fantasy epic he started 24 years ago is not a priority. Anyway, that new manga sounds badass and I'm happy that it is coming back so I guess this is very good news. |

| As I suspected, Miura stocked up chapters to release them as a bunch. In my opinion the better alternative to the dreaded "3 chapters, hiatus" schedule he used for the past years. That some of the stock was a totally new series is a suprise, but thankfully one of the pleasant ones. I personally look forward to seeing crazy spaceships and other potential cool stuff that Miura might draw for his little sci-fi series (although I would be a bit happier if these 6 chapters were Berserk chapters). symbv said: kurosaki_kabuto said: Oh yeah, playing IdolM@ster always seem to be a much higher priority for Miura-sensei LOLBecause apparently finishing the best-selling dark fantasy epic he started 24 years ago is not a priority. I know you are joking, but some people actually take this seriously. So here's an explanation for them. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| if only Togashi can restart Hunter X Hunter too then most people will have a happy new year lol |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| ..............ive never seen a post make me so happy, sad and mad at the same time |
| Oh wow finally there's news. I always hoped that there will be something big coming after the kind of special latest chapter. Hopefully he will release chapters regularly. Monthly releases is really all I ask for. :/ |
| I hope he finish it in the next 20 or so chapters, I don't care if it's rushed, a conclusion is needed and the latest arcs of Berserk range from mediocre to bad, and they made me lose interest in the series, along with the fact that a certain main character is pretty much useless. |

Only 20 chapters? With the giant amount of plot points left and Miura himself stating that Berserk was around 60-70% 5 or 6 years ago in an interview? That is not happening, Berserk ending around chapter 500 seems very likely if you ask me. The final fight alone is probably going to take the amount of chapters you just listed. Also, that certain main character you talk about will be the main focus in the next arc so we should expect something big. Not to mention that Miura is still only in his 40s and it is very likely that he will finish Berserk before he dies... which is something that most people seem to expect from him for some reasons. We could now start the everlasting discussion about the direction Berserk is taking but imho that should not be the focus of this thread. |

| does "restart" means with new characters and new plot too ? well, that sucked :( |
 |
ranzero said: does "restart" means with new characters and new plot too ? well, that sucked :( No, it just means he continues. Why would he restart the entire series after 333 chapters? |

kurosaki_kabuto said: Because apparently finishing the best-selling dark fantasy epic he started 24 years ago is not a priority. My thoughts exactly! Is nice that he is doing something new, about greek mythology (that I love), I am sure is gonna be awesome, but really...1 year without a new chapter of Berserk, no wonder why I think I will be dead and won't be seeing the end of it... |
 |
| Berserk will once again be put on hiatus when the new PS4 iDOLM@STER game is released. |
 |
| Does that mean in march or april a new chapter of Berserk will be released? That's okay for me. Also I'm interested in this Gigant Makia because greek mythology is epic, also I expect to see some titans. |

| Whoa! I'm glad he's decided to resume Berserk~ |
  |
| Finally!!! But 6 chapters in Young Animal? Doesn't that mean 6 months? Goddamnit! |

| About time. That new short he's starting sounds interesting so I'll check that out in the mean time. |

| Iris Zero is back and now Berserk is comming back too? Best news in last 2 weeks. |
 I painted my teary face with a disguised smile[COLOR=#ff3333] and pretended it was a cry out of joy.[/COLOR] |
| Haha, Miura's working again? What, the played through all the lolicon games already? *sarcasm* Nah, it's good to see him working again. |
| Great news for me. I truly appreciate that! Now, Togashi, it's your turn. |
| Gutalala ~~ sudalala "It would be great to live as a human" -Meruem, King of the Ants |
| Finish the anime instead. |
| Bad wording on the headline, restart makes it sound like he's redoing the manga from scratch. |

Now this is coming back, I'll probably start reading this soon as well. Heh, I'll pray that NANA and Hunter x Hunter will come back later this year as well. *crosses fingers* |

symbv said: IdolM@ster always seem to be a much higher priority for Miura-sensei LOL mitch3315 said: Berserk will once again be put on hiatus when the new PS4 iDOLM@STER game is released. Miura probably ran out of energy after all those years of sticking with Berserk. Thus, he is distracting himself with other activities, either by playing video games (I@ms included) or drawing a new manga. I'm sure he feels missing-out on the chance to draw other settings and stories because his creative life has been consumed by Berserk. With that, I'm not sure why didn't make an Idol manga to catch up with the times :D Instead, we are stuck with probably another seinen adventure manga. |

| YAAAAAY Berserk is back!! |

| Well, finally he got some motivation, at-least, to release a news about it... Just hope he would continue it on regular bases and if it's just one or two chapters restart, that would be really sucks. tsudecimo said: I hope he finish it in the next 20 or so chapters, I don't care if it's rushed, a conclusion is needed and the latest arcs of Berserk range from mediocre to bad, and they made me lose interest in the series, along with the fact that a certain main character is pretty much useless.

| I'm happy that he's coming back to writing Berserk. I hope he manages to finish it before too long. It might actually be nice to him to work on something else and move on from Berserk. 25 years on any one project is a LOOONNG time. He's been working on it longer than Marcel Proust did on "In Search of Lost Time" |
| awe yeahhh |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| It'll reurn for three for four chapters. Than go on hiatus for two or three years again. |
Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |
| i hope he will resume this and doesn't take any hiatus again... |

| Good news |
 |
| I'll only believe it when I hold in my hands a new volume. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
