Both print and digital official English-language releases of Berserk are published by Dark Horse Comics. Chapters of Berserk are compiled in a set of individual volumes, with 41 volumes currently available for purchase, along with an official guidebook to the series. For those interested in reading Berserk digitally, readers can purchase digital volumes either directly through Dark Horse or through Amazon’s digital platform, formatted to be read on Kindle. Buying sets of volumes bundled together through Dark Horse does offer a slight discount over buying them individually.

Major retailers carry physical editions of the Berserk manga, both with online storefronts and brick-and-mortar physical locations – chances are, if a bookstore you’re interested in sells manga, there is a strong possibility that Berserk are among the manga titles they offer. The same 41 volumes compiled by Dark Horse Comics are available, along with a set of deluxe editions combining several volumes in a single compendium; there are currently 14 Berserk deluxe editions in all. These deluxe releases do not currently include chapters helmed by Mori, staying strictly with Miura’s story, but this may be subject to change in the future.
