<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in Japan in 1994 by Hakusensha, Inc., Tokyo"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Two feudal kingdoms, Midland and Chuder, battle for supremacy in what will become the final clash in a century-long struggle. Spearheading the Midland forces is the Band of the Hawk, a legendary cadre of elite mercenaries led by the charismatic Griffith and with the fearless Guts as its berserker champion. The Hawks' ferocity, courage, and fearsome skills - not to mention Guts' enormous broadsword - are just what Midland needs to turn the bloody tide, but during the fray, Guts and Griffith's most trusted lieutenant, Casca, fall together from a cliff into a raging river. Miraculously, both barely survive, and Guts tends to Casca's wounds as she tells of having her life saved by Griffith, her induction into the Band of the Hawk, and her deep feelings toward Griffith. She even seems to finally be warming up to the grim Guts. But this greeting-card moment won't last long, for Chuder warriors are on the prowl, and the only greetings they carry are on the points of their spears!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>While attending college at Nihon University, in 1988, <b> Kentaro Miura </b>debuted a 48-page manga known as <i>Berserk Prototype</i>, an introduction to the current <i>Berserk</i> fantasy world.
