This is volume 38 in the Berserk series and was the beginning of a new story arc. It was well done but not my favorite volume in the series; this series just keeps going on and on with no resolution or end in sight.

The beginning of this book is all about Ricket’s journey to Falconia to met Griffith. After their initial reunion, Ricket decides he can’t abide being in the same city as Griffith and decides he needs to leave. However, Griffith doesn’t take kindly to Ricket’s rejection and tries to assassinate him.

After that we switch back to Guts and crew. At the very end of this volume Guts and crew finally make it to the island of Skellig where they hope to cure Casca with Elven magic. However, the island of Skellig holds many show more dangers.

The illustration remains amazingly well done. The story remains a bit unfocused and wanders a lot. I continue to read these because I enjoy the illustration and the characters. However, I am looking forward to them less and less as the story wanders and doesn’t appear to have much focus.

Overall a good continuation of the Berserk series. The story does make some progress, but wanders a lot again. It would be good to see some resolution and solid progress in the story at some point here.
