Manga 'Berserk' Goes on Hiatus

Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine is announcing in its 19th issue (pictured), which will go on sale on September 23, that Berserk will go on hiatus. It is planned that the series will return within the first half of 2017. Berserk previously resumed serialization in June of this year, with the magazine featuring a new chapter each month.

Kentarou Miura's manga series has been serialized in Young Animal magazine since 1989. It has received multiple anime adaptations, including a 25-episode anime adaptation in 1997 by studio OLM, as well as a movie trilogy animated by Studio 4°C premiering between 2012 and 2013. The most recent anime adaptation premiered in July and was produced by Millepensee and GEMBA, with a sequel slated for Spring 2017. Young Animal magazine published the 38th volume of the manga on June 24, and also announced that the previous 37 volumes would be reprinted as the series resumed publication under a new imprint.

Berserk has been licensed in various regions, with Dark Horse licensing the series for North American release in 2003. Crunchyroll simulcast the recent Berserk (2016) TV anime in various regions, while Aniplus HD simulcast the series in Southeast Asian territories. Crunchyroll also licensed the series for home-video release.
