I think this is my favorite volume of Berserk yet. It's light on the massive-scale battles seen in earlier battles, but still has a bit of fighting to go along with tons of character development and spectacular art as always.
The dynamic between Guts, Griffith, and Casca is really interesting and gets deeper by the volume. They're all really complicated characters, flawed and noble with their own motivations.
Berserk is rated as a masterpiece, largely for its depictions of violence, but the more human elements are just as engaging. The emotion conveyed in these still images is really something else.
