Innocent

What connects Berserk and Innocent is a minute portrayal of brutality, the horror and at the same time, the banality of evil. Despite one of the works being a fictional fantasy world and the other a story based on real historical events, a feeling of a ruthless naturalism stands out. We can see not only a motif of the protagonist's struggle with the inevitability of fate but also other interesting themes: the hypocrisy and immorality of aristocracy and the clergymen, a woman fighter claiming her independence, etc.
The two belong to different genres and have different settings (dark fantasy semi-medieval world in Berserk, renaissance France in Innocent), but they share quite a few things. Both offer a LOT of violence and gore, tragic and compelling characters with good development, and absolutely amazing art.
