Allegedly. Though I have a hard time kind of placing it where it is supposed to go. Doesn't quite seem to work.

Wow, didn't know there was a Berserk thread. Just started reading earlier this year and growing my collection. Anyone know if there are plans to release vol 38? When they do I hope we get some reprints, cause this was not a good time to start collecting. $200 vol 16

My brother (who doesn't really read the series but is familiar with it because of me) had a very interesting thought from an "outsider's" perspective.
He recently read the most recent chapter and when it looked like they may replay the events of the Eclipse in Casca's mind went, "what if Casca fights him in her mind to get her memory back?"
Now I'm thinking how disappointed I'll be if this didn't happen. It would be an awesome return (or merge) of her personality if she got to directly conquer the one responsible, even in only in a dream since obviously Casca's no match for Griffith or Femto.

Does he ever really have to? This isn't Hunter x Hunter.

I wouldn't exactly say 'redraw', but he has touched up quite a few panels before.
He also added in completely new panels for chapter 238 for the volume release.
I actually thought the same thing myself. People talk about Farnese and Schierke being traumatized from seeing the eclipse, but I don't see that at all. The reason it left its mark on Guts and Casca is because the event was personal to them, It was their friends they lost, them who was branded, and mostly, the person they respected most who betrayed them.
While there are other factors, I do think part of the reason for Casca's state is partly being unable to accept that Griffith who she loved and respected did something so horrible both to her and everyone else. It may also explain why she reacts to Griffith like she did in the appearances they were in together. There's also always been an emphasis on the ability to hate Griffith which is something that Guts asked Rickart directly.
In this way, I do think part of Casca's return will involve having to realize how far Griffith fell and what he did. It'd also be cool if we got a scene of her killing him (symbolically) to signify her finally accepting Griffith's fall, but we'll see how things go.

These are all the scans from presumably chapter 348 from the Guide Book (click on the scans to see them at a better resolution). From what I can make out....it looks as if Schierke and Farnese are on a deserted battlefield with a famished looking horse carrying a coffin with a chain that has The Band of the Hawk's crest on it. You can also see ghostly robed figures with what look to be spears, which perhaps morphed from the rags on the poles?
Inside the coffin is obviously a broken Casca (or maybe a broken Guts - it seems to have an eye missing and it only has one arm) who looks like a doll. Then we see what looks to be the Moonlight Child, but apparently it's not. According to the text, it says "the thing in the abyss of Casca." So maybe it's the key to bringing back Casca! Then we see the other characters having what looks quite possibly like a banquet with both Manifico and Puck doing chores, and then we see Guts by himself reflecting on the situation with a stern face. The conclusion of this post?
I NEED NEW CHAPTERS, RIGHT NOW!!!
Almost half of the volumes are out of stock. And 5 of them are out of print. No clue why Dark Horse isn't taking advantage of the anime to catch some sales.
Oh wait, the anime being what it is....... yeah, I'm not surprised.
I'm all for surreal abstractions, Muira is an artist after all. He's already flexed the medium with the second to last page, I'd like to see him go all the way and really break it down to even just individual lines and shapes.
I have considered your hypothesis and agree with your conclusion.

Rumor has it, he has one. It's a Behelit shapped one he keeps next to his desk and only Japan's PM has the number. Although some people have claimed the number is 800-berserk
Dude is like Guts. He's sporting the Dragon Slayer of phones. A huge beastly 80's style monster that others gawk at and ask,"Can a phone that big and blunt actually work?"

Void will always be nightmare fuel unleaded, Conrad and Ubik practically look the same, Slann is a cute pony and Femto looks moe.

Well I am holding out hope that there will be a reprint next year, since we have the second season of the anime and a new game as well. It appears I got into this series the wrong year.

So, looking back at this, I think that horse might actually be a dog, which more than likely symbolises Guts struggling to carry a broken Casca.
I really love how the doll representing Casca in the coffin has half her head shattered to show her broken mind. I adore symbolic stuff like that.

So, how text-heavy is the book?

It still hasn't arrived in the mail yet. It shouldn't be too far off now....
I'll let you know when I actually get it if it's worth purchasing or not.

I posted this in the Arts & Farts thread a few days ago, but for those that don't venture to those parts:
I did a re-read last week and had an itch to draw something Berserk and test out some pens/markers I bought.
As you can probably tell, it's not something I did on my own but an image of Guts from the start of the Troll arc, I think -- since I was just testing stuff I wanted some easy reference, and I really love Miura's style.

If I were to guess - until the volumes are sold out again?
Anyone who needs them shouldn't wait around too long.

I guess you can take over Berserk if Miura can't finish it

I guess I should buy a couple on amazon. I hope one or two a month is sustainable.

Damn that's nice.
Best news I heard all week. I hope 15,16, 18 and 32 will follow soon after.
Edit: Can we pre-order?
