“From this moment, Berserk, whose drawing ratio was about 99.2% by Professor Kentaro Miura, my staff will take care of it 100%. As mentioned in advance, this is not a perfectly faithful reproduction, but we thank you to the end. Furthermore, Mr. Kouji Mori’s supervision is spot on and thanks to him the so-called final episode was also fully explained and understood.
