This is the back of the book!
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!

RROR I
The bewildered and near-mad Casca, former captain of the Band of
the Hawk—and former lover of Cuts, the Black Swordsman—has been
adopted by Midland's pagan cults as a witch because of her demonic
Mark of Sacrifice. The Holy Iron Chain Knights' campaign to rid the king¬
I dom of heretics by any means necessary puts Casca in mortal danger,
and Cuts is having none of it, but all parties involved may end up with
more than they bargained for as demonic spirits, drawn to Casca's brand,
begin to possess the heretics and unleash the forces of Hell. But Hell
hath no fury like the Black Swordsman!
Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is a crushing manga jackhammer, a
bone-splintering epic of extreme action, excrutiating horror, and exces¬
sive humor that sets its fanatic followers afire and puts its detractors
in their place—six feet under!
! This collection is translated into English but oriented in right-to-left
| reading format, as originally published.
