Manga format; reads from back to front, right to left.
His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with the Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned - and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death ... or vengeance."--Back of book

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

An astounding piece of literature submitted by Annex on June 16, 2023, 11:09pm The series is so complex and intricate in it's meaning and story telling. The main character, Guts, is the embodiment of rage and justice, as well as grief and hardship. He goes through many challenges and difficulties throughout the novel (his life). This literature contains very graphic and gruesome artistry, and deals with themes and symbolism not suitably for children. Although, I find this series truly wonderful, Kentarō Miura (the author) made one of the best series I ever had read, and I recommend this manga to anyone looking for a serious, yet at times, funny and confounding experience.
