Personal remarks:

He was without a doubt one of the best Mangaka of this generation. He started publishing manga at the ripe age of 10 in 1976, called Miuranger, which spanned over 40 volumes in his local school publication.

Each and every single one of Miura’s works is a masterpiece. As a Berserk and Miura Fan, I am unable to wrap my head around this.

Joking about Miura’s death was an ongoing troupe in the Berserk fandom, but now that it has actually happened, I can’t hold back my tears.
