One Year Ago Today, Miura Passed Away

One year ago, Kentaro Miura passed away. I still feel grief from time to time but the things he gave us will live on forever.
Here's a small drawing to honor him and his work.#Berserk #KentaroMiura pic.twitter.com/jfhO8PyZmi

Berserk is a fantastic work, best read and not watched or played. (Yes, there's a videogame adaptation.) Amazon has his work available, and Volume 1 is here, and I would not be surprised if there were used copies available in stores online or in a location near you- look around. There is also the option to read online.

There's a cottage industry of written and video essays on this man and his work, which I leave to you to search for yourself at your discretion, and plenty of games--most recently including Elden Ring--that make no bones about the influence of Berserk upon it. We lost a brilliant man with Miura, and it is on we that remain to honor him by surpassing him.

We will, and sooner than you think.
