How Many Berserk Chapters Are There? Latest Chapter Count (2026)

Who made the chapters

Chapters 1 to 364: written and drawn by Kentaro Miura. His final chapter was published after his death in May 2021.

Chapter 365 onward: drawn by Studio Gaga, Miura's longtime assistants, with Kouji Mori supervising. Mori is Miura's close friend. The series returned in June 2022.

Miura never finished the story, and the continuation follows the plans he shared with Mori.

How the chapters break down by arc

Berserk is collected in volumes, and its arcs span them as follows.

Black Swordsman: volumes 1-3
Golden Age: volumes 3-14
Conviction: volumes 14-21
Falcon of the Millennium Empire: volumes 22-35
Fantasia: volume 35 onward

The story is currently in the Fantasia arc.

Why the chapter count moves so slowly

Berserk has never had a regular release schedule, even when Miura was alive. The art is extremely detailed, and the team prioritizes quality over speed. Chapter 383 came out in September 2025, and chapter 384 followed after about nine months, in June 2026. When chapters do come, they sometimes arrive in short runs, as happened in June and July 2026.

Where to read the latest chapters

New chapters appear first in Japan in Young Animal magazine. English readers usually follow the official collected volumes from Dark Horse, which lag behind the Japanese release. English Volume 43 is listed for October 27, 2026. Support the official releases where you can, because it helps the series continue.

Is Berserk finished?

No. The manga is active but irregular. Reports describe the story as heading toward its climax, but no ending date or final chapter number has been announced.

Is there a new Berserk anime?

No new anime has been confirmed since Berserk: Memorial Edition in 2022.
