“What Guts the Black Swordsman and his companions had seen as an island refuge for monstrous sea creatures and the ghost ship of the demonic Bonebeard is, in fact, the very lair of the malefic sea god that controls them. With no avenue of escape, Guts must once again don the Berserker armor to give his company any chance of survival. But without the protective influence of the sorceress Schierke, Guts risks being forever lost within the cursed armor and becoming an even greater threat to his comrades!”

This was the 36th volume in the Berserk series. This was a pretty awesome volume; lots of action and lots of Guts!

Guts and crew end up facing off with a giant Sea God. The fight with the Sea God was very well done.

I loved watching Guts and Schierke fight using the Berserker armor. This was an incredible battle and I enjoyed it alot.

The illustration remains very well done. I liked this volume much better than some of the previous volumes.

Overall an excellent continuation of the Berserk series. I thought this also progressed the “Sea God and mysterious island” story arc very nicely. I would recommend this whole series to mature readers of fantasy horror.
