The only thing that Berserk lacked was to have a range of good characters, because apart from Guts and Griffith and maybe another one like Zodd, the rest of the characters are boring shit like Farnese Isidro etc.

@@SuperSavageSpirit facts are for nobody i guess. if we take for example Vagabond, a manga that is on pair with Berserk, you will see that Vagabond has a massive amount of great characters in every single arc. Not saying Vagabond is better, but atleast when it comes to likable characters, Vagabond negs Berserk

Well , seeing as I've played my highest amount of video games this year (thx fromsoftware) ,next year will be manga year , and nearly everything you added in this besides CSM and berserk i haven't read and have been quite interested in .

I agree with your reasoning with Pun Pun. I read it at 16, and I could see that it was dark and such, however it didn’t hit me at all, and I believe it’s just because I haven’t experienced enough for me to truly understand and emphasize with the themes presented. I just might have to reread it later when I get a little older.

Love that you put Yu Yu Hakusho in here Yusuke is indeed a top 3 main protagonist

Top 10 would be too hard for me to rank since 6-15 are always shifting for me but my top 5 would probably be: 1. Berserk 2. Haikyuu 3. Chihayafuru 4. 3-Gatsu no Lion 5. Vinland Saga Gintama and HxH are also up there, but more so because of their anime adaptations, even if the manga for both are fantastic. I've also been reading the Umineko manga after finishing the VN and it might just crack the top 5 as well.

My top 5 1. Berserk 2. Fma 3. Vinland saga (might go spot up if it sticks the landing) 4. Bleach (unpopular opinion maybe but I just love so much about it and think it's much better than a lot of people give it credit for) 5. Aot (didn't like how it ended but I was so obsessed with it while reading that it has to be here) Reading one piece currently (alabasta) and it will probably get in top 5 as I continue

Im so happy Berserk is getting all this love for the past few years. This Monday i saw this dude that works with me and he had a brand of sacrifice on his neck (he has many other tats of manga/anime on him) and we started talking, good dude, and he just got into Berserk like a year ago. Ive been reading Berserk for 20 years now and i remember when saying that you read manga made people look at you funny (they never called me a dork or nerd in my face, since i played sports, surf, skated) but even people that watched anime thought that manga was a lil too much for nerds lol, im not even joking about this. Now it is more accepting and manga has taken over comics or there's plp that dont really watch anime but are into manga (i myself are extremely selective in the anime that i watch, maybe 2 or 3 series per year). I have a friend that has also been into Berserk/manga for over 20 years and he kinda hates it, u know he is the gatekeeping type, lol i just laugh and say the more the merrier, more people to talk to, more opinion, cool websites or youtubers making dope content. And Berserk deservers all the love its getting.

glad to see an underappreciated manga like berserk get an honorable mention

Rooster fighter underrated as hell ✊🏼

I think i didn't even read 25 mangas unfortunately. I started reading Mangas like 9 or 10 years ago , before that only watched "hype-animes" that were popular around those times. But i thought, after watching this video, why not give it a go and try to rank them haha. I get into new mangas mostly through recommendations or when i see some videos or twitter-posts about something and think "well, this looks interesting, try it out". The old big 3 (Bleach, Naruto and One Piece) aren't in here because i didn't read them, but i watched like 80% of the anime from all three series and in the case of One Piece i keep track of the newest chapters for the last 2 years and am familiar with the whole story. Nonetheless i will not rank them, since i didn't read it all. Although i like One Piece the most, then Naruto, then Bleach. Same case with Dragonball and Dragonball Z (i watched the anime several times over and over, but never read the Manga completely), which i like even more than the other 3. So, my list of the series i finished (some are ongoing, so maybe it will change some day): 11. Death Note 10. Attack on Titan 9. Fullmetal Alchemist 8. Sakamoto Days 7. OnePunchMan 6. Yuyu Hakusho 5. Chainsaw Man 4. Jujutsu Kaisen 3. Monster 2. Berserk 1. Hunter x Hunter Tried Jojo, but unfortunately not my taste. Also tried Slam Dunk, but not the greatest fan of sport-stories, so it didn't catch me. Vagabond is next on my list, also Mob Psycho 100, Vinland Saga and 20th Century Boys.

To Real Life Ryan; great list but the only thing to rival Berserk ( aside from Vagabond) is Akira in My own opinion. It's still fantastic.
