I don't have much experience with manga. I know it goes kinda backwards from what we're used to in the west and it isn't in color

Are there any versions with color?

It's great. It starts off extremely edgy but mellows out somewhat as the decades go on. Of course, you're probably aware Miura died in May, so the manga is unfinished. Not sure if any of his assistants/proteges will take up the torch.

It's a quite good dark fantasy series. The first quarter of the series is a massive flashback that gets most of the acclaim. The rest of the series is good, but some people seem to check out after that. And now, it'll likely never be finished, at least in the way it was intended.

it's one of the best that I've read.

it changes genres pretty significantly, and has different tones throughout, but it does so in ways that feel organic with what's presented.

I say that if you give it a chance, that you don't let the beginning throw you off, since it's pretty grimdark, since even though some of those elements remain prevalent in the story, it's so much more than that.

Well it didn't seem like he was in a hurry to finish it anyway

Well I've already seen the movies that are based on the golden age arc or whatever. I know the manga is probably more in depth but I'd kinda like to just get to the dark fantasy stuff. How would I go about that?

It's so good that it can be loaded with loli fanservice and nobody even blinks.

You could simply read the first arc and skip over the Golden Age flashback when it happens, but I'd recommend you read the entire thing.

it's been a while since I've read the Golden Age Arc in the manga, but it has a lot of stuff the anime had to omit, so I'd still recommend reading through it.

Here's the thing... That is by far the least interesting aspect of it to me lol. Just how long does it last?

It's good but it's really gross at times. Just saying, be ready for it because people are not kidding when they say it's graphic.

I just looked, and it seems it starts somewhere in volume 3 and ends in volume 14, but I'm not sure how many chapters are in each volume.

It's about 90 chapters long. For context Berserk is around 357 chapters.

I would still recommend rereading the Golden Age arc. I forget how much material the movies cut out, but it definitely cut out more than the 90s anime and the anime still cut out like two and a half volumes of material.

If you're going to skip the golden age arc cause you watched the movies don't bother reading it at all. Movies are good but they're trash in comparison to the manga and miss a lot.
