Berserk’s BRAND New Chapter Drops Sooner Than You’d Ever Expect!
The next chapter of the legendary manga is arriving much sooner than expected. Chapter 379 is set to release in Japan on February 14th, Valentine's Day, in the Young Animal publication. To make things even more exciting, this installment will feature a color chapter, as Guts and his crew continue their desperate struggle to rescue Casca and confront the White Hawk, Griffith.
The Berserk story has been steadily progressing under writer Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga, who are working tirelessly to honor the legacy of the late Kentaro Miura. Chapter 378, released last year, brought major developments in the Eastern Exile Arc, delivering some of the best art and storytelling in the series so far. Now, the upcoming chapter promises to build on that momentum.
What’s Happening in Berserk Right Now?
In the previous chapter, Guts faced new challenges as the Kushan Empire sought an alliance with him and his allies to strike back against Griffith and his twisted version of the Band of the Hawk. However, their plans were disrupted when Rakshas, a deadly assassin from Griffith’s army, arrived and wreaked havoc. With demons invading the Eastern Empire, the situation has only grown more chaotic. There are even hints that a member of the God Hand could soon appear, adding a daunting new obstacle to Guts’ journey.
While fans eagerly await Chapter 379, there’s no news yet about Chapter 380. However, Kouji Mori and the artists of Studio Gaga have made it clear they are dedicated to completing Miura’s masterpiece, even as the series seems to be heading toward its grand finale. Iconic characters like Skull Knight have hinted that the endgame is near, heightening anticipation for what’s to come.
On the anime front, there’s no confirmation of a new adaptation just yet. The last time fans saw Berserk on screen was in the Berserk: Memorial Edition, which mostly repackaged the original Golden Age Arc film trilogy with some additional footage.
As Berserk marches closer to its conclusion, each chapter feels like a monumental event. With Chapter 379 just weeks away, fans around the world can’t wait to see how Guts’ journey unfolds and what new trials await the Black Swordsman in his quest for revenge.
