Look, Berserk is a titan. It is one of the most important works of fiction in the last 40 years, influencing everything from Dark Souls to Final Fantasy. But as a parent, you need to know this isn't just 'edgy'—it's harrowing.
It's a story about a man fighting fate in a world that is actively cruel. The art is breathtaking, and the emotional payoff is huge, but it's buried under layers of extreme violence and trauma. If you're an adult who loves dark fantasy, read it. If you're looking for something for your 14-year-old, keep walking.
