About Serpico
What's not to like about a guy who wields a feather duster with such deadly panache?
Serpico's complacent and occasionally clownish facade conceals a dark past and a complicated relationship with Farnese, who doesn't know he is her half-brother. His relationship with Guts is guarded and not without its problems, since Serpico doesn't feel Farnese is safe around a man who is a monster magnet and who also isn't in full control of magical armor that transforms him into a practically unstoppable killing machine. Lately, they seem to be coming to an understanding about each other.
While Serpico is ambivalent about the changes taking place in his life -- and Farnese's -- he's taken up the gauntlet of fighting apostles and demons. His ease and skill in fighting with the magical sword and cloak takes even Guts and Schierke by surprise at times.
The group dynamics are still on the fragile side and there's lots of little secrets still untold and plenty of doubts and fears to go around, all of which means life won't be dull with the Guts group (not that it ever is.) Eventually Serpico will meet Griffith and his new Hawks, and how that will play out should be very interesting.
About the Berserk
Set in a fantasy world with a (mostly) medieval feel, Berserk follows the journey of a young swordsman named Guts as he battles to defy the odds against him and find a purpose to his life -- and to take revenge against a former friend who betrayed him and those he cared about. Although dark and violent, the story also has its humorous moments, and its strong cast of characters and classic quest theme should appeal to anyone who enjoys epic adventure tales revolving around destiny, fate, and the consequences of chasing after one's dreams.
Berserk is the creation of Kentarou Miura, and is published by Young Animal/Jets Comics. It's also been licensed for release in the US by Dark Horse. The 25-episode anime series, released in the US by Anime Works, covers the manga roughly through Volume 13 of what is currently a series with over 30 volumes published. The anime is mostly faithful to the manga, but there were significant changes in the storyline.
