This manga collection is translated into English but oriented in right-
to-left reading format at the creator's request, maintaining the
artwork's visual orientation as originally published in Japan. If you've
never read manga in this way before, take a look at the diagram
below to give yourself an idea of how to go about it. Basically, you'll
be starting in the upper right corner and will read each balloon and
panel moving right to left, it may take some getting used to, but
you should get the hang of it very quickly. Have fun!

The evil Count uses his dark powers to transform a defeated guard
captain into an inhuman horror to combat Cuts, the Black Swordsman.

I
1 Meanwhile, Cuts' pint-sized elf sidekick. Puck, is captured and given
as a gift to the Count's daughter, a sweet girl in a gilded cage,
imprisoned by her father in her own room. Cuts, determined to make
mincemeat of the Count—and maybe bail out his companion, if he
gets around to it—assaults the castle and takes on the nearly
indestructible demon/guard in a blood-soaked battle royal! But then,
face-to-face with the Black Swordsman at last, the unholy Count
reveals his own true form, and even Cuts' super-sized sword may not
be big enough to contend with this demonic monstrosity!

Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is meat-grinder manga at its most

, extreme—gruesome, violent, and darkly funny—and the inspiration
for the wildly popular anime series. Look elsewhere if you're craving
sweetness, subtlety, and good manners. Berserk is the bull in the
graphic-novel china shop—and who wouldn't watch a bull getting
medieval on the dishes?
