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!

< His name is Cuts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only
in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of

(
i countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with
the Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him
and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Cuts won't take his fate lying
down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the
damned—and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied
by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion. Cuts relent¬
lessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death . . .
1 or vengeance.

Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is manga mayhem to the extreme-

violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny—and the wellspring for the
internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the
' easily offended. Berserk asks for no quarter—and offers none!

s This collection is translated into English but oriented in right-to-left
