Berserk’s Valentine’s Day Surprise: Two New Manga Chapters Dropping in February

Valentine’s Day is usually filled with romance, chocolates, and heartwarming moments. But for Berserk fans, February 14th is bringing something a little different—something darker, bloodier, and way more intense. The legendary manga series is dropping a huge surprise, and the excitement is through the roof. If you thought love and war don’t mix, Berserk is here to prove otherwise.

The Return of Berserk

Fans of Kentaro Miura’s masterpiece have been holding their breath for every new installment, especially since the series resumed under the guidance of Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga. This Valentine’s Day, the wait pays off big time. Not only is Chapter 379 of Berserk set to release on February 14th, but Chapter 380 will follow just two weeks later on February 28th. That’s right—two chapters in one month.

Considering the all-over-the-place release schedule Berserk has had in recent years, this double release is a rare treat. It’s a sign that Mori and the team are pushing forward with dedication, keeping Miura’s vision alive while staying true to the tragic beauty of the story.

Where We Last Left Guts and the Gang

If you’ve been keeping up with Berserk, you know things are not looking great for Guts and his allies. Casca, who had just regained her sanity, was taken by Griffith, leaving Guts shattered. Meanwhile, Griffith continues building his terrifying empire, gathering both humans and demonic Apostles under his rule.

On the horizon, the Eastern Empire of Kushan is making its move, aiming to challenge Griffith’s dominance. But, as expected in Berserk, nothing is ever simple. A deadly assassin has infiltrated the Eastern Empire, and rumors of a Godhand member entering the battlefield are enough to send shivers down any fan’s spine. It’s a brutal chess game, and the stakes have never been higher.

The Legacy of Kentaro Miura Lives On

Miura’s passing in 2021 left a massive void in the manga world. Fans feared that Berserk would remain unfinished, its epic tale forever unheard. But Miura had confided the key story moments to Mori, ensuring that the journey of Guts would see a proper conclusion.

The decision to continue the manga wasn’t taken lightly. Fans were understandably skeptical at first, but over time, Mori and Studio Gaga have won them over with their dedication and craftsmanship. The art, the storytelling, the emotional weight—it’s all still there. And now, with two chapters coming this month, it’s clear they are making serious progress toward the series’ ultimate finale.

Berserk’s Endgame: What’s Next?

There’s no official word on when Berserk will end, but recent chapters suggest that we are in the final stretch. The battles are intensifying, the mysteries surrounding the Godhand and the Idea of Evil are becoming more prominent, and Guts’ personal struggle has never felt more heartbreaking.

It’s a deeply emotional saga about pain, revenge, and the struggle to find purpose in a world that seems hellbent on crushing you. As we inch closer to the end, one thing is certain—this story will leave an unforgettable mark on manga history.

Berserk isn’t officially available to read online through a subscription service. However, as the manga is licensed by Dark Horse, you can buy physical volumes through the website. So, whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with chocolates or diving headfirst into the dark, merciless world of Berserk, one thing’s for sure—this February is going to be legendary.
