    Kentarou Miura. Berserk is my favorite manga, I discovered it while going through a really tough time, and it helped me a lot. I read it a couple times over and over, and I impatiently waited for new chapters.

    A couple years later, Miura-sensei died of heart issues, aged 54. Felt like a slap on the face, after all those jokes about how he was never going to finish Berserk because he was playing too much idol master. I still cry about it from time to time, when I have a bad day.

    Rest in peace.

      luckily a close friend of his has taken up the mantle, and they have a team of artists that miura trained to replicate his art style.
