The manga has some significant similarity with Berserk, One Piece, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga, yet has its own unique feel. Some of the character developments are really really good and has some really good twists in the story.

If you like ancient/medieval era warfare then this manga is kind of a gem in my opinion, the tactics are discussed pretty nicely (which might actually bore people who are not into warfare but just like action).

Story progress is quite good as well, though has few down times but that is given even for some of the best manga I came across.

Definitely a go for anyone who likes ... historical and medieval warfare, has less amount of comic relief than most other similar manga. I got absolutely hooked to it and recommend it.

STORY:
At first you won't get into the story that much, atleast not till Baron Arc imo, but still the actions are good more than good enough to get into the manga imo. But once the Golden Arc starts the story starts to get better and better to a level where you cannot get out, and will probably restart reading while waiting for new chapter. Insane twists and pace.

ART:
Well, I started following berserk at around 2002-2003 and the artwork at that time did not looked bad for the initial chapters, but when I went through them for the "i do not remember how many times" they ... feel a bit lower quality than rest of the manga, the visual improvement over the chapters is quite mesmerizing.

CHARACTER:
Personally I think this manga has one of the best character development.

OVERALL: this has been one of the longest running manga that never stopped me from jumping at the new chapter, no matter how many and how long the breaks are, at the same time it also never gave me the feeling that "okay it has gone long enough, maybe they should end it now, or damn for taking this long to release a new chapter". I would rather wait for the creator to take his time and maintain his standard, than rushed chapter.
