The first new BERSERK chapter since the passing of original creator Kentaro Miura in 2021! Volume 42 has been made by Miura''s longtime assistants Studio Gaga, under the supervision of his closest friend, Koji Mori. The shocking appearance of Griffith on Elf Island has provoked rage and terror in Guts and Casca... and carved a rift into the enchanted isle itself, setting loose a corrosive horde of devourers from beneath the earth! If the Black Swordsman cannot rely upon even his legendary blade, escape by ship seems the only hope for survival... but not everyone is leaving Elf Island together!
