Berserk Returns With Its Third Chapter in 2025
Berserk will release its third chapter for 2025 in the middle of the year in preparation for the release of Volume 43.
On May 21, 2025, it was announced that Berserk would be returning with a new chapter on June 13, 2025.
This will be Chapter 381, which will continue the story from Rakshas’ seeming death and Schierke’s approach towards Falconia
Previously, on February 11, it was announced that Volume 43 will be released on August 29, 2025.
As of February 28, 2025, there were 7 chapters that were counted for the upcoming volume.
With the upcoming chapter, this might complete the volume page count to around 170 pages, unless there will be a 9th chapter added between June and August.
Considering the 3-month gap between releases, it would be a surprise for a July chapter to come.
In 2024, Berserk only released 3 chapters (Chapters 375 to 378) and Chapter 381 will be the third chapter of 2025, albeit released in the middle of the year. Chapter 378: “Uninvited Assassin” had been released on November 8, 2024.
This could mean Berserk might see another chapter or two after the release of Volume 23 this August, potentially making 2025 one of the most productive years for Berserk since Kouji Mori took the helm as writer in 2022, which saw the release of 7 chapters.
About Berserk
Berserk was originally written and illustrated Kentaro Miura for Hakusensha’s Young Animal Magazine.
Volume 42 was released on December 24, 2021, almost four years ago, and contained the first post-Miura chapters, Chapters 365: “Lull of the Waning Moon” and 373: “Rusty Iron Rings That Bind”.
The Fantasia Arc has been going on since Chapter 308 was published in 2010, around the time Miura began his irregular Berserk releases.
Released on October 1, 1989, Berserk currently has 42 volumes in circulation and has sold over 60 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most popular manga of all time and has been hailed as a core influence of the modern dark fantasy genre not only in Japanese manga but also video games, television, movies, comics and other media in Japan and beyond.
Berserk continues the story of Guts after losing Casca to their former Band leader Griffith once again as he, his traveling band, and other refugees enter the Kushan Empire with the help of former Hawk member Rickert and former nemesis Silat.
