Book Review: Berserk Volume 29 (Berserk (Graphic Novels)): Kentaro Miura: Books
A Bedridden Guts Says It All,
By The Jolly Roger -
In any series as protracted as that of Berserk, which attempts on imperceptibly melding otherwise substantially different episodes to form a seamless story, there arrises a repeated cycle of rising and falling of different plots beneath the umbrella of a much larger plot. Much like a wave, this results in a series of crests and troughs of action, both intellectual and physical, that together move the bulk of the story to its conclusion. Unfortunately for its fandom, Berserk 29 represents an ebb in the steady progression of this long-running and most excellent epic–one derelict of the support given by the series’ famed protagonist, Guts.
Though the cover may feature the Black Swordsman in one of his classic, hawkish poses, Guts has, like a gentleman for the duration of this episode, put down his giant sword, and let the ladies (Farnese, her mother, Schierke, and Sonia) take the spotlight. In the same way Guts has been put aside to recover from his recent frays, it can be said that the story itself has been shelved until a more auspicious time. But while this strategy is not completely new to the series, exposition, in other instances, was matched with some degree of thought or emotional provocation, as well as, to put it bluntly, slaughter. However, Berserk 29’s sole purpose is that of transition, without any truly memorable artistic, philosophical, or narratological moments. At best, this volume can be called “necessary,” but certainly not “sufficient” to the greatness of antecedent episodes.
