Manga 2 Berserk Userrecs

Monster fighting, not always ends well, dark ambience. 

claymore is basicly a less explicit version of berserk except claymores characters are almost all female 

Both Berserk and Claymore involve the main character battling against monsters that take the form of a human for the sake of revenge, however that is not the only thing that the two series' have in common. Both have a dark atmosphere and contain a flashback arc revealing the reasons for the protagonists goal of revenge. Aswell as that both protagonists are burdened with taking care of someone they care about. Chances are if you enjoyed Claymore, you'll enjoy reading Berserk, or vice versa.  

Both mangas have a dark medieval setting. They are both also very violent. The main characters both wield giant swords in order to kill demonic monsters. I feel berserk has a richer plot but claymore's fighting scenes were on par with if not better than berserk's. 

Both stories are dark and violent. Both main characters wield huge swords to kill monsters.  

Similar tone, where the mangaka takes the story and art to dark places. 

Taking place in a fantasy setting, Claymore and Berserk outlines the cruelty of their world by the lives of the main characters. There are bloody battles, a thirst for vengeance, and evil that roams in their world. The main characters from both series has great skills in swordsmanship that they display throughout their journey. Yet, they suffer internally by the past actions of certain adversaries they've encountered. Their stories constitute a grim adventure filled with dangers and challenges the audience will feast their eyes on. 

Both are placed at a medieval world with a lot monsters. Berserk has a superior art and gore level, but Claymore still pretty good. 

If you like dark fighting stories that feature a lot of blood and gore then you should read these manga. Both of them take place in a very mysterious and dark fantasy setting. The fights in them are stunningly beautiful and the main characters are both on a long journey where they have to kill a lot of monster. 

Both are set in medieval style fantasy setting, although Claymore has main female character and Berserk male, they both figth with big swords, slay demons/monsters from time to time... If you liked one of them you will certainly like the other because they`re so amazing that it can`t be explained with words without spoiling the content. 

Although Berserk is senien but the killing and fighting is quite similar just is that Claymore is less dark and better IMO.  

Both Berserk and Claymore take place in a demonic world filled with violence and death, and both fight to survive against monsters odds. 

Killing monsters, set in a medieval-esque period, and have a dark tone when drawn 

Not as gory as berserk but comparable. It is also about main characters facing similar odds because both claire and guts take on enemies much larger and stronger than themselves.  

If monster slaying action and dark medieval fantasy was what you liked about Claymore I think you'll love Berserk cause it's that and so much more.  

Very similar, but not that much. I recommend because if you like good fights, and powerful main characters, you will probably like both  

Claymore seems like a rip-off of berserk . It has similar atmosphere , swordfighting , nice art , bad-ass MC , sad story. I actually liked claymore a lot. 

Similar to Berserk, this manga focuses on action instead of romance and other genres. Other than the fact that most of the characters here are females, this feels as if it is written by the author of Berserk. The intense action, suspense, amazing world building, personality development, everything is superbly done. Enjoy. 

The dark themed world of agony and pain inflicted to the minorities and the weak, and the main heroes that want to change that dark world is what I believe makes Claymore similar to Berserk. 

Giant freaking swords, deadly demons, beautiful backgrounds and sinister plots abound in these works. 

Gore. Very bitter struggle. 

Both are set in dark fantasy world where almost everything goes against the main character's odds. They are both well written and push trough the scenarios they are put through. Claymore's world is also very interesting and the world building and character developments is top tier. 

gotta be honest here, In many ways i like claymore more than berserk. Of course berserk has the better art and individual characters are more interesting than in claymore, But the story moves so fucking slowly that it can get tiring sometimes. Not in the first two story arcs (golden era and the dark knight or whatever), but after that its a little stagnant and there are too many long battles. Especially the last buildup to the sea god battle was kinda grueling and the tentacles lost their charm fast. I know claymore is largely inspired by berserk and you see it at every turn. The yoma are kind of a bland mirror of the apostels in berserk even in later volumes when their design gets better it never reaches the amazing creativity of berserks monsters.So the main two things claymore has going for it are that the story moves along rather quickly and always stays engaging and entertaining. And it actually ended so thats a major plus im looking forward to. The other major plus are the characters, which are almost all claymores. I love their design, even if their main distinction point visually are their hairs. Their personalitys are fleshed out and fun. The ranking system of the organisation is engaging af just because power rankings like that are always great. And of course theyre all cute grills, badass cute grills! Overall i wouldnt necessary put one over the other manga since i havent seen both conclutions (and who knows we'll ever see the berserk one -.-). Berserk is better for its artworks, deep characters, monster designs and wordbuilding, whereas claymore has the better story drive and an overall more engaging ensemble cast.  

Both are masterpieces in their own way. Claymore is more direct whereas berserk is more poetic.Both the manga's have a lot of blood and gore.Both the manga's have stunning characters.Art style is also kinda similar, so can't guarantee but if u like one you'd probably like the other. P.S - Claymore is the closest to berserk ;) 

this is as close as it gets. If Berserk is king then Claymore is the queen. Start the journey and don't look back! 

Meanwhile waiting for another chapter on hiatus, you might want to check Claymore, same as Berserk main focus of Claymore - outside of swinging THAT sword - are characters and bound they share. Also, with both series, I fell into their grasp with volume #3 

-Both Berserk and Claymore take place in a very European, medieval-style worlds. -If you enjoy your dark fantasy setting with lots of gore, blood, violence and monsters.. lots and lots of monsters then you will very much enjoy both of these series. 

Others can explain it better, but I am confident that if you like Claymore you will LOVE Berserk and vice versa. Please do be careful of content warnings if needed, however.  

Both manga are set in a medieval-style dark fantasy world, where the main characters battle demons preying on humans. The world is rather cruel, and both main characters have revenge as their prime motivations in life and display some other similarities, such as both wielding giant swords. There are many depressing moments (especially in Berserk universe, where the world is downright hopeless), yet there are also times when the heartwarming moments shine up. Lots of action, quite a lot of gore and shock factor. Though a matter of personal preference, I am fond of Claymore more than Berserk, as it has an ensemble cast of characters rather than focus on fewer (but admittedly more rounded and comple) characters and because of the fact it has concluded to an ending.   

After catching up to Berserk and looking for similar titles, I came across this masterpiece called Claymore. It's the most similar thing to Berserk so if you want more monsters and a great story, definitely check this one out!! 

Claymore has a similar dark fantasy setting as Berserk, but instead follows a female protagonist. The fights are bloody, but I can't say that it matches the brutality of Berserk. It does come close though. If you loved Berserk and are a fan of dark fantasy, then I would highly recommend you try giving Claymore a shot. 

Both are very dingy, bloody and tragic! 

dark fantasy manga with body horror and really creative monster designs 

Let's go around the world with a moody main lead and kill ugly monsters with a giant sword! 

Both are not a hero journey 

Another dark fantasy manga with great artwork like berserk. A creative story with a dark setting and intricately designed monsters drawn so grotesquely. Captivating characters and wonderful story overall. If you're a fan of berserk, then this is a must read. 

Both series have an action, violent and similiar detailed art style. And both are dark medieval fantasy. But Claymore's concept is more likely Witcher. Also main characters are woman. And also both series have a tragic backstories. 

Dark medival fantasy (unique) MC having tragic past (sad) Lots of gore and distrubing stuff (yumm) Rivalry bw mc and villian was good (yes) Slaying monsters and action heavy (yeah) Both having good artwork (berserk has better imo) Low-mid text easy read (thank god) Both having incomplete and bad anime adaptations (bwhaha lol) CLAYMORE HAS AN ENDING!!! berserk doesnt(sad pikachu face) 

they both have very similar elements probably the mangaka of claymore was inspired by miura 

because both Berserk and Claymore are gore-type sleeves, vintage, with excellent drawings and although their history differs, none of them is not developing well. 

-Claymore(swords) -asshole friends -dark and gore -Shitty anime lol 

Both are dark fantasy stories. 

Though the stories are quite different, the art styles are similar. Both the mangakas use a really unique shading when creating panels. As well as the world it is set in, both are medieval times, swords, armor, horse and wagon for transportation, that kind of thing. Claymore really stands out for me personally is the way Noritoshi Yagi writes his chapters or as in his manga, Acts. I think using Acts instead of chapters makes for smoother arc transition. Where as chapters usually are short and have multiple within each new arc, acts are pretty much cutting out the extra chapters. All of the lore and content is still present, it just does stop every 10 - 20 pages for a new chapter. The story itself is always very entertaining and gripping emotionally. There is a few plots twist in which I didn't see coming and fit perfectly in the world I was reading about. Another thing is the cast of characters. Having the protagonist a female was a refreshing and interesting as being a man, I am used to reading about male MC's. Not only was the MC great but every character you came across as its own personality, abilities and design. Yagi's art I think gets better as the series goes. The series is only 27 Volumes so it isn't a super long read but has a solid start middle and ending that of which I rate it a 9 or 10 outta 10 with how much I enjoyed it.   

For fans of Berserk seeking a new adventure, Claymore offers a compelling parallel with its intense battles, wielded by formidable warriors known as Claymores, reminiscent of the dark and visceral combat found in Berserk. Both series share a penchant for complex characters with haunting pasts, weaving intricate narratives that explore themes of isolation and sacrifice. Claymore's dark fantasy world, replete with ominous landscapes and supernatural elements, provides a captivating backdrop akin to the rich and immersive universe of Berserk. 

The character of Guts (of Berserk) is ostensibly inspired by the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, both of them being unmatched swordsmen who overcame death and tragedy, emerging from obscurity to mix with the ruling class. Vagabond has "Musashi and the Seventy" while Berserk has "Guts the Hundred-Man Slayer". 

Berserk and Vagabond are classic tales that shows the journey of an anti-hero protagonist. There is a lot of purpose for their actions and both series focuses a good amount of characterization for its other characters too. Their artwork is also highly distinctive (although Vagabond is more realistic). Throughout their journey, we see the characters develop relationships and rivalries with others. Both series also maintain a good amount of mature themes. Do note that Berserk has fantasy elements mixed in with its story while Vagabond adapts more historical content. 

- Both have anti-heroes as the main character - Beautiful artwork that is easily noticeable - Lots of blood and gore  

The manga that is not most similar to Berserk but you will probably like the most if you liked Berserk would surely be Vagabond. They are two amazingly highly rated seinens for a reason with amazing main characters. They both have some badass firey rage inside with the best manga fights I've ever seen. Beautiful and inspiring artwork for you aspiring artists, mature themes, a few historical events. Definitely the best samurai/sword manga out there with it's great plot. This one had me hooked after the first couple of chapters, only 2 manga have done that to me. 

Both stories are about characters who's life revolves around violence. While Berserk is about a quest of pure rage, Vagabond is the path of a warrior and where it may lead. 

Both series start out with a main character and follow him as a lonely little boy who grows up to become incredibly powerful. Both series have incredibly detailed art, but vagabond's is far more realistic with a dirtier art style. Guts (Berserk's main character) and Takezo (Vagabond's main character) start off being very much alike. Their father's disliked them, they were both strong children in terms of sword skill, they are both incredibly over powered in their stories, but Vagabond handles this aspect better, and they both fall in love with a woman. Story wise they are not a like at all, except that they focus a lot on the main character. Both series have psychological aspects in them, even though they are action series. Vagabond has psychological aspects in fights and how our main character thinks about his life. Berserk has psychological aspects in relation to the main character and main antagonist. Both are very action heavy, with Vagabond having a little bit less action. Action is very brutal, detailed and with gore. Neither series has ended at the point of the recommendation.   

Mature, bloody, and beautiful. Main characters with troubled childhoods and high proficiency in killing. In doing so, they are stuck in the constant chain of life and death and seemingly cannot escape it. Both manga cover very philosophical themes if you read them not passively. 

Arguably the best manga series of all time. Mangas like these two come once in a lifetime. Both have incredible story, breathtaking art and incredible character development, blood and gore. Once you read both of these you perspective on what a masterpiece is will change. 

Similar MCs. Both left and abandoned by their parents in some way. Both had a harsh childhood growing up. Both are cold blooded killers. Both manga have badass fighting scenes and both are VERY gory. One is fiction, the other is based on a true story to some extent. 

Both of these manga have very similar protagonists: sword wielding "demon-children" with turbulent childhoods on a quest to become stronger. Why? It first starts off as them simply wanting to become the strongest and die on the battlefield, but soon enough they find something they love and want to protect, while simultaneously they despise it for standing in the way of their primary goals. 

Both Mangas are centered around a antihero protagonist, who is on a path to finding himself. Action is used as a story element, in which bloody and gory scenes are highly stylized, as they are also extremly well-drawn. 

Both are extremely violent and gory, but Vagabond has a basis in history and has a more realistic art style, while Berserk is obviously a dark fantasy.  

Lone, at first sort of psychotic, warrior travelling the land in search of worthy opponents, combined with beautiful art and spiritual journey of the protagonist, who tries to find what his purpose in life is. Plus both authors really like long hiatuses. 

Both manga are historical Seinen with anti hero protagonist. They contain a lot of fight scenes and have beautiful artwork. 

In their own worlds, Guts and Mushashi both went from being obscure to becoming well-known warriors. Both of them went through terrible suffering and betrayal. Both have excellent art that has a classic feel to it. They also have intricate and compelling narratives, and the combat scenes are to die for.  

Both have a Similar main character. struggling along a journey to find the best version of themselves while being caught up in past actions. The mature atmosphere and conflicting feelings towards the occurances are present too. The art is also phenomenal, so if u like that Miura eyecandy. Inoue has it aswell. There is however no Revenge story of the sort. Instead you have a rivalry.  

Mature, lots of blood and gore. The main characters have fairly similar dynamics in both manga. Both are Seinen with anti hero protagonist. Both protagonist are alpha. Dark gritty themes. The mature atmosphere and art is also phenomenal. They both fall in love with a woman. Also both are Berserk and also Vagabond.. 

Also a dark manga with a beautiful art style. Both protagonists are highly skilled swordsmen.  

Unique characters and history 

Berserk and Vagabond are respectively my 1st and 2nd favorite manga. I have enormous respect for Kentaro Miura (RIP) and Takehiko Inoue for creating such excellent stories and characters, as well as magnificent art. Berserk's story is much deeper, but it resembles in some ways the story of Vagabond, and Guts and Takezo are very similar characters. 

-both have an amazing story line -both have amazing art -both have great character development -both have serious and funny moments -both are 10/10 for me -both MC wants to be number 1 -They both are driven out of their homes from hate and speculations and they both make inseparable friends. 

Os dois mangás são muito parecidos e são simplesmente incriveis 

This comparison has been made ever since the beginning of time, for good reason though. Musashi and Guts share a similar fate, both works detail their respective story accompanied by breathtaking art and both will likely take ages to be done lmao. 

Vagabond shares a lot of the same DNA as Berserk as it tells the story of a wandering swordsman who yearns for a worthy opponent. Vagabond embraces historical accuracy and the tenets of martial arts more than it does fantasy and ridiculous monsters. Vagabond's realistic nature is one of its greatest strengths and it makes the gallons of blood that are spilled in the manga have even more weight. It tries to realistically portray how isolating the life of a swordsman can be and it does so with amazing precision. 

Both share the story of the lonely starving wolf who wants to become the best fighter in existence (kinda) and find a purpous in their lifes. The strugguler and The invincible under the heavens share an emotional journey about self reflection, discovery and growth. Both Musashi and Guts suffer from traumas because of the cruelty of the world give them at their childhood that they want to overcome those traumas and weaknesses by fighting and overcoming their swordsman abilities, in time they will discover that what they were searching was not to become stronger, but to escape in their hatred and fears. Berserk and Vagabond are masterpieces with beautiful art styles and great storytelling, telling us the story about fighting against the cruel and dark reality with the ones that we love and growing to become better versions of ourselves. There are hints of romance and shoujo-like aspects that made up to the drama in the story, as so the side characters are great, showing how they are people who feel like pieces of shit but in time they will grow to become better persons.  

Both have amazing character development. Both of the main characters are insanely powerful. Both are trying to find a purpose. Just read both of the manga they are simply amazing. 

Both of them in my humble opinion are masterpieces, each of them can make anybody's life a better life if they focused on the objective of the mangas and if they still have time to change, it's never too late to change yourself to become a better person. 

Both are amazingly drawn highly violent, action Manga 

You are looking for another bloody, but astounding story? Another manga with beautiful artwork? Rough and in the beginning simple protagonists, which evolve into something much more? Then Vagabond will be perfect for you.  

The story of Vagabond is like Berserk just more philosphical. Musashi the main character starts as a guy full of hatred and rage and is obsessed with his goal becomming invincible. On this path he realises the meaning of the way of the sword and how invincible is just a word. In my opinion Berserk is still better but I haven´t finished Vagabond so my opinon might change, which I slightly doubt. Nonetheless Berserk Vagabond is a must read espeacilly when you liked Berserk 

While not the exact same, Berserk and Vagabond are both very violent seinen manga with similar themes. Both have amazing art work and are very good manga. Swords are also used in both manga. Vagabond is more realistic than Berserk, but fans of one MUST read the other. 

Similar time period and fight for survival style. Very gruesome and gory with great writing. 

Both have amazing art and both have some of the best stories in any manga. Miyamoto Musashi has a journey were he is constantly growing.  

Berserk is similar to Vagabond in its beautiful art and amazing story telling with gory depictions all throughout for a fun experience. 

Berserk, Vagabond and Vinland Saga are iconic. 

Similar in terms of their atmosphere and themes - Both very mature and depict death, murder, violence and life in gritty detail and art. 

"Vagabond" and "Berserk" are similar manga series with historical settings, dark atmospheres, complex characters, and intense action. Both delve into the brutal realities of their respective worlds, exploring themes of war, violence, and personal growth. The protagonists, Musashi in "Vagabond" and Guts in "Berserk," undergo profound journeys, facing inner struggles, moral dilemmas, and questioning their roles in life. The series share a focus on destiny, purpose, and the search for meaning, while showcasing visceral combat scenes that highlight the characters' skills and the raw energy of their battles. 

I think both have a MC who goes through challenges and matures during the story. You will get strong Berserk vibes while reading Vagabond and if you loved Berserk you'll love Vagabond as well.  

Both have very brutal plot-lines. Both dive deep into character growth. Both explore darker topics. Both tend to be very philosophical at times. Both characters go on a journey to change. Vagabond is Berserk but without the fantasy aspect, it is in a more traditional Japanese setting focused on the mindset of the main character rather than the big picture. It is a must read if you liked Berserk. 

In their own worlds, Guts and Mushashi both went from being obscure to becoming well-known warriors. Both of them went through terrible suffering and betrayal. Both have excellent art that has a classic feel to it. They also have intricate and compelling narratives, and the combat scenes are to die for. 

Drawing is almost exactly the same. Not to mention the fact that the stories are very similar. Not nearly as much nudity in Vinland Saga though. 

It's similar to the first volumes of Berserk, a kind of medieval historical war story, revolving around a young man.  

Similar artwork and also similar level of detail. Also plenty of similar over the top fight scenes however Vinland Saga has more strategy elements than Berserk and has a more merciful approach to the slaughter of women and children  

if you read berserk and like it and haven't started reading vinland saga what is wrong with you. vinland saga is very similar to berserks golden age story like before the apostles and sh!t but vinland saga is so much better. berserk was the first manga i read and have been a fan for some time now but vinland saga takes the cake i think. so if you like berserk take a look at vinland saga while you are waiting for the next chapter to come out we all know how long that takes.  

Both of them have similiar art. Stories are big and epic. only differense is that vinland saga has no monster it´s more realistic. Its must see series if you like manga like beserk 

Technical wise, Berserk and Vinland Saga shares an adventurous tone of storytelling. In their perspective stories, there is a main protagonist who seeks revenge for what has happened to him in the past. They also strive to obtain absolution by any means. Both series takes place in a setting that is considered more of medieval/historical as opposed to modern times. And in that period is violence, war, and bloodshed. There is considerable amount of mature content in both series but is presently vividly to illustrate the cruelty of their worlds. 

Berserk and Vinland Saga are alike in many ways... Pacing, Art style, characters, etc. Vinland Saga starts off with Thorfinn who yearns to avenge his fathers death, and works for his fathers killer, while berserk follows the much more mature protagonist Guts, who also yearns to avenge his fallen comrades by cutting down his former ally Griffith. Both characters have similar appearances and goals despite their age difference. Another similarity in pacing is that both stories have an extremely long back story shown early on. Vinland Sagas backstory being around 10 chapters around 5 chapters into the series and Berserks backstory being around 7 volumes 3 volumes in.  

The stories are both focused around a character that is morally dark and trying to find himself a greater purpose for his existence. In Berserk Gutts is brought from his depression by attaching himself to Griffith, in Vinland Saga Thorfinn loses his way from an ideal and becomes like Gutts when he was a solo mercenary. Vinland Saga takes a great deal of inspiration from Berserk in multiple areas such as plot progression, art, morality, and combat. There is no magic in Vinland Saga, so the battles are more realistic with only select characters having skills that allow them to take on large crowds. 

Both manga tackle very adult themes while featuring beautiful art. Both Guts and Thorfinn are very compelling characters with troubled childhoods and complete badasses in their own style of fighting. Both Manga feature the MC looking for his place in the world / finding meaning in life. I can't recommend them enough.  

The intense action, the art, the way the story progresses is very similar to Berserk. This is more like the Golden Era from Berserk. This has a lot of killing and a revenge plot. The personality development is done amazingly by the author. Enjoy 

Both mangas are extremly violent and are set in a historical time period, known for being dark and brutal. They focus on creating a detailed setting out of it, while focusing on a more psychological and philosphical journey. 

Similar medieval settings, gritty story, violent action. interesting character development. similar artwork. though no monsters or fantasy 

Similarities - Some of the best artwork , plot and character development ever with both of them having quite mature content. Dissimilarities -While Vinland Saga is loosely based on viking history Berserk is set in a fantasy world though the fantasy elements take a while to fully appear Overall I cannot not recommend these two masterpieces enough but be warned it takes a while for new chapters to come out for both of them especially Berserk and both of them are not for the light hearted  

Both stories have an protagonist that grow up surronded by violence. The art is similar, almost identical. 

two mangas historic! berserk= medieval and vinland= age of vinkings. 

similarities: story about revenge very good character developement though berserk's better in that imo the manga divides in different part MCs are looking for a reason to live and eventualy find it. a lot of hatred, both in both manga's MC and others characters differences: vinland starts off with revenge's story, while berserk doesn't and eventualy MC seeks revenge. vinland saga isn't as dark as berserk(in its later part that is) 

They both have the medieval Europe setting while Berserk has a more mystical and magical setting. Both are violent, epic and have strong character leads. They have slight humor once in a while to lighten the mood. Berserker updates once a month while Vinlada Saga is every week 

Both are historical seinen with a very detailed art style and a protagonist that wishes to take revenge by any means nessecary. 

Although Berserk takes place in a medieval-like fantasy world, and Vinland Saga takes place during the time of Vikings, Both focus on young and strong fighters who lived on the battlefield and fought in wars for almost their entire lives. Both Guts and Thorfinn start on a revenge-fueled path and have to face stronger enemies as well as their inner demons while protecting the ones they care for and their dreams. 

Berserk and Vinland Saga both tell a story about war, revenge, and dream. While Vinland Saga story take a form in historical legend of viking, Berserk use the form of dark fantasy to make a good story. What you should suspect from the story is lot of blood; hate, revenge, and redemption; friendship and dream.  

The series takes place in historical era. The main protagonist of the series are seeking for revenge or a bright side in life, they both are hard working and cold hearted. The series without a doubt has one of the best antagonist in whole animanga universe.  

They are both great Seinen series. If you like Berserk, you'll probably like Vinland Saga. 

One of the other Big Three of Seinen manga, a good bit shorter but at least gets more regular consistency with chapters dropping and plenty to read as of writing this. 

Must watch, if you ever have found yourself coming out of the womb then you will be sure to enjoy this. 

Its like Vinland Saga except way better and focuses on the dark hopeless reality rather than the main character finding inner peace and making up for all the people hes killed. Berserk's fantasy element really enhances the plot as well. 

berserk pero de vikingos 

"Berserk" and "Vinland Saga" are two manga series that share similarities despite their distinct settings and storylines. Both delve into dark and mature themes, exploring the complexities of the human condition, the consequences of violence, and the challenges of morality. These series feature complex and evolving characters that undergo significant development throughout their journeys. Guts from "Berserk" and Thorfinn from "Vinland Saga" start as individuals driven by vengeance but gradually face personal growth, internal struggles, and the questioning of their beliefs. The narratives in both manga offer nuanced explorations of psychological depth, examining the impacts of trauma, the pursuit of redemption, and the search for a sense of purpose and identity. Additionally, both series are known for their intricate artwork, intense action sequences, and the ability to captivate readers with their compelling storytelling.  

Both have rich story telling and pull you into the dark twisted worlds they inhabit. Both stories make you feel as though you were experiencing the events firsthand, including the pain and psychological stress the characters experience. 

Both have a dark fantasy setting and contain frequent fights and much gore. 

Both have very ugly and horrific monsters that destroys people and splatters blood.  

Both are in a medieval world and got gore elements. Berserk has a higher quality art. 

The setting in both of these manga is a similar medieval and dark theme. The main characters have to fight for survival. The fights in both manga are very stunning and the stories have a very mysterious thing to them. If you like mangas with a lot of action and very good and deep stories, then you should give both of these manga a try. 

Blood. Limbs and guts scattered. Oh my, your hands would probably get sweaty as you see squads of underdogs fighting against the odds in order to not get slaughtered. These series are both set in medieval times with strong political and military themes. Also, the two have supernatural mysteries that add more to the lore of their worlds. Overall, Berserk and Shingeki no Kyojin are two thrilling, intense series. 

There is an oddly resemblance between the characters of Eren and Griffith. It gets more interesting considering that one of them is a protagonist and the other, the antagonist (even if by circumstance). These works are not only connected through similar settings, as it is often said, they also both work as different lenses for viewing a quite curious character development. 

In the very first volume of the Shingeki no Kyojin manga, there's an interview with Hajime Isayama and his editor featured as a bonus. Isayama says Kentaro Miura is one of the mangaka he respects. As a fan of both authors and their work, I was pleasantly surprised, because I've always thought these manga to be extremely compatible. Both manga have an engrossing, medieval, dark fantasy setting with a lot of gore, although Berserk is a seinen so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. That isn't to say that Shingeki no Kyojin doesn't have its fair share of gore. However, the gore isn't only for shock value, but it also effectively conveys what the author wants the reader to get out of the world they have created. Both manga tell mature tales and feature brilliant storytelling. They both feature an incredible cast of characters, with damn cool character designs! The artwork for both manga is simply amazing. Berserk's art is phenomenal from the beginning of the Golden Age arc— although Isayama's art improves a lot in later volumes. One could say a similarity between both manga is that the art improves over time. Overall, if you are a fan of one of these manga, you are pretty much guaranteed to love the other. These are my two favorite manga, so what do I know.  

Both are Mature series with a focus on philosophy and human nature. Both are gory and extremely violent with realistic characters and a serious tone. The art in both series is detailed and often stunning. 

Both are incredibly well written and feature a lot of gore and fighting monsters  

dark, fantasy, awesome storyline, and realistic. Psychological, moral ambiguities geo-political mystery horror. 

Both are bloody and have body horror,survivve on this cruel world,cosmic horrors,erwin and guts also share the similar vibe 

IF you enjoy great writing this is the way to go. One day, berserk will finally get a good anime adaptation and that’s the day everyone in the whole world will start to recognize this masterpiece of a story even more. RIP Kentaro Miura. Inspired a generation of writers and mangaka as well as touched the hearts of so many people across the globe. You will be missed.  

The world is infested with demons and the buffed, manly protagonist has to fight them in attempt to save humans. This protagonist also has a blonde bishounen friend that helps him in fights but it also turns out this bishounen migh have his own agenda that the protagonist would disagree with. Both have well drawn art and don't shy away from violence, gore, nudity and sex. 

Both deal with the issues of friendship, betrayal, tragedy and more importantly, humanity and violence. Miura is a self-proclaimed Go Nagai fan and admits to being influenced by his work. As far as the characters are concerned, there's a passionate and violent main character, Akira/Amon and Guts. These main characters have a tragic backstory. There's a game changer regarding the central friendship of Griffith/Guts and Akira/Ryo. There are obvious homoerotic undertones, mainly concentrated on one character. One can argue that Miura has been influenced specifically by Ryo's character, One Summer Day, and the main plot twist of Devilman in creating the Eclipse. Lastly you can spot mythological and biblical allusions in both works.  

Both are action manga filled with violence and gore. They explore similar themes, and have as a protagonist an anti-hero character, who, in order to defeat antagonistic demonic creatures, has to strip himself of his humanity. Also, the main villains in both manga have biblical satanic attributes. 

If you like stories about anti-heroes who battle demons while almost becoming one these series are for you!!!! -Akira and Guts start off very diferent but become violent, strong and determined characters who stop at nothing to protect the ones they love. -They both have tons of gore, violence and nudity and awesome demon designs. -The main characters lives are full of tragedy. -They are both classics in their own right and even thought none have a proper anime adaptations. (Miura inspired himself on some of Go Nagai's manga to write Berserk)  

Berserk had been based on many concepts from Devilman. The monsters designs on their concepts and looks are very similar. Although the main character of Devilman is a kin of the one he is killing, their character stories (Discluding their backstories) are pretty similar. Sometime in both manga's, they get betrayed by a certain someone. If you like Berserk's gore and gritty characters, you will love the master piece called Devilman.  

Devilman is one of the inspirations of Kentaro Miura's Berserk. You will see MANY similarities,trust me. 

Both are very dingy, bloody and tragic! 

Berserk was based on devilman in so many levels, the depictions of demons look like comming from hell itself, the antagonist is a femboy sexy son of a bitch and share the same duality between protagonist and antagonist, akira and ryo with guts and griffith, and both share the same brutal and dark setting 

Miura has stated before that one of his inspirations for Berserk was Go Nagai's work, more likely ''Devilman''. I think it's a worth it experience to read Devilman for its interesting plot, fantastical plot twist and an ending you didnt expect at all with homoerotic tones. And of course it's even more awesome to see how Miura has been inspired by Devilman's character designs e.t.c. Plus it came out in 1973, so it has its quirks. Devilman is a fairly short read, it will take at least an hour but it has inspired so much influencial media such as ,as mentioned, Berserk and Neon Genesis Evangelion. 

It's almost impossible to find any author that inspired Kentaro Miura (and with him generations of authors that chose to explore and represent the most obscure and cruel parts of human emotions) more than Go Nagai and his masterpiece, Devilman. It will be simple for any Berserk fan to immediately recognize the first systematic use of all those beautiful narrative and visual tropes that makes these kind of stories so interesting: the dark and oppressive atmosphere and aesthetic, the entire story centered around the complex relationship between two main characters, which are presented as similar opposites starting from the chara design (protagonist with a darker appearance and deuteragonist with a lighter one, each being both directly and inversely specular to themselves), a magistral depiction of nightmarish and horrorific scenes, the thematization of the struggle to cohexistence, the violence and curelty of humanity when in fear, the struggle for the survival of the fittest and its consequences, all conveyed through scenes of gore and perversion that may seem as self-purposing at first but are needed to immerse the reader in the rotten world the author create upon us. And one of probably the best ending in the history of manga. If you try to get over the dated style and sometimes kinda uncertain proportions (that completely disappear when Nagai move from depicting slice-of-life scenes to showing the horror that is the core of the story, here any remaining graphical problems get obscured by its magistral use of colors and images to communicate despair and anguish) and some naivety in the dialogues at first it will probably give you, especially in the last two volumes, one of the most beautiful and heart-crushing reading of your life  

Miura afirma que es un gran admirador de Go Nagai y que tiene influencias de su manga. 

This is a very mature, violent, bloody, seinen, dark manga. The manga has been around since like 1990 (so it's been over 20 years!!!) and the story is simply AMAZING. I am very impressed by the creator of Berserk. I watched the anime first and then jumped straight to read the manga. The anime only covers like 10% of the whole story and the manga is not even finished yet. This is another AMAZING manga. 

Hundreds and hudreds of very graphic and detailed deaths. Lots of main characters die. There are explicit sex scenes, violations and a lot of gore. Probably the two hardest mangas I have read. 

Both have a lot of gore and some sex/ecchi elements. 

If you like stories with a fantasy setting then you should read on. Both of these manga take place in a fantasy setting, but that's not all they also contain a lot of violence, blood and gore. So if you are interested in these type of manga then you should give these two a try because they are the best in their genres. If you like one of them you will probably enjoy the other one as well! 

Out-of-this-world monsters, violence, blood gore and sex... It is so similar in this aspect is was surprising. However, one revolves around revenge while the other is more about saving humanity. If you just love violence and gore, then both these are just for you. 

Berserk and Gantz have quite a bit common. Be it the very mature themes, to nudity, language, to over the top violence. They are both very dark in theme, and the characters are very detailed and fleshed out. Once you start reading either manga, they are hard to put down. In Berserk, the main character, Guts, is fighting off supernatural forces, whereas in Gantz, the main character(s) are fighting extraterrestrial beings. Both mangas have the people battling against the odds, making it feel like it's a few people fighting the world. Oh and they both have gigantic swords. 

- Both are Seinen - Very detailed artstyles - Huge amounts of violence, gore, and sexual content - Both have nightmare fuel incarnate creatures (Aliens and Apostles) The enemies get stronger and more insane as each chapter progresses in both manga's - No one is safe in both worlds - Both manga's have the main protagonist and others battling the unknown and trying to win even when they are pushed to the limit - Both manga series have had long runs - Well written and well designed characters 

This too has a death plot, where anyone can die anytime, lots of killing, supernatural beings, intense action, amazing world building and the art is similar to Berserk too. Enjoy. 

Small fight big, small sometimes win, mostly lose 

Grotesque monsters, over the top violence, blood, nudity and gore. If your looking for a manga with these things then I suggest you start reading now, both will have you hooked from beginning to end. Berserk differs being a fantasy set in medieval times, with a more direct story revolving around the main characters. While Gantz differs by being a sci-fi set in modern times, with characters tasked to take down monstrosities.  

blood and guts are really cool. only difference is that gantz doesn't really have story it's basically mindless violence.  

Another Seinen series dealing with a character who later has much of his past introduced via flashback. Also includes large swords, magic, and violence.  

The main character, Munsu, is a lot like Guts, and the main antagonist, Aji Tae, is superficially similar to Griffith. Likewise, the major theme here is revenge for what Aji Tae has done to Munsu and everything he loved. The number of superficial similarities to Berserk are too many to count, to the point of me suspecting plagiarism, but this is not a bad thing. The series is very violent, very epic, and has plenty of demons, so if you're looking for a quick fix while waiting for new Berserk chapters, I think this can keep you entertained. 

Struggling against a god like entity. ATOMIC RAGE guranteed 

Both have a anti-hero as a protagonist and an untouchable hero as a protagonist. Overall the story's development is the same, and so is the goal. Both protagonists are seeking revenge and are cursed, they later encounter companions and form a group to fight. Shin Angyo Onshi is the Korean Berserk. 

Much like Berserk, Shin Angyo Onshi is about the struggles of a human who is seeking revenge against a demon god. 

Both stories feature a main character who is cursed and his sole purpose is seeking revenge from a demon that stole everything from him. Both demons are figures that betrayed them since they used to be on good terms in the past. We get to see a lengthy flashback to their past in addition to their current adventures. Both are seinen manga heavy on tragedy and action, with a very similar atmosphere. If you like Berserk, you are bound to like SAO. And without spoiling anything, I think that SAO's fantastic's ending would be quite fitting for Berserk as well, if we're lucky enough to see it.  

Character back story is similar , seinen stuff , deep and engaging action sequences . Overall the were really similar and both were fantastic 

If any one has an Ounce of Love for Berserk then please read Shin Angyo Onshi. it's definitely worth it. This has countless similarities with Berserk i.e MC can withstand great hardships and still carry on, was once appreciated by his comrades and was a great Fighter but now is against them,gets haunted by his past most of the time,carries a curse. 

While Shin Angyo Onshi might not be as badass as Berserk (duh), the two stories share a lot of similarities, especially in their way of depicting some characters, their journey through the world, and what moves them. There are real parallels in the way they tackle psychological and paranormal questions. 

Mini Berserk!!! 

Another seinen with a sword-wielding character with a flashback-seen tragic past. This main character is stuck in a small elf-like body, but that doesn't stop him from being more sexually active than guts. Crazy violence and awesome 

Same-ish medievil, dark atmosphere. Blood and gore similar to Berserk, although not same art style. All in all, great manga. More chapters need to be translated though!! 

Ubel Blatt and Berserk takes in place in a fantasy world with mature themes. Both series' main male protagonist embarks on a quest for revenge. Throughout their story, they encounter both allies and enemies. They also improve their own abilities through many battles that tests the limits of their strength. Both series are infamous for their graphic violence to portray the reality of their dark fantasy elements.  

Ubel Blatt's main character Koinzell is on a quest of vengence because he was betrayed by his close compainions just like how Guts is betrayed in Berserk. They are also similar in having monsters to fight, the murder of innocence, some cases of rape and orgys. 

Both are about master swordsman who have been wronged by their friend(s) and left for the dead(or undead) 

Both stories are dark fantasies, taking place in medieval worlds where the main characters go through many trials and tribulations. They've to pick up their swords and set on a mission of revenge on those who wronged them. Lots of action, violence and gore. 

Berserk and Ubel Blatt both have this dark fantasy touch and this dark atmosphere  

Both of the protagonist driven by anger getting betrayed by thier freind but the ubel blatt is not as good as Berserk i say don't have too much hope for this 

There's blood. There's vengeance. And there's a determination to survive. Both Berserk and Kingdom has a protagonist with fiery determination to accomplish their goals. Tough and resilient, they become involved with very dangerous events that puts their lives in danger. However, their motivations are what causes them to become who they are in the present. There is a great amount of characterization and relationship building in both series. War also becomes a powerful theme as both series adapts its graphic contents.  

- Both Series are gory - Both series deals with war (Though Berserk is fantasy with mosters and such, where kingdom is set in china during the warring states period. Kingdom also deals a lot more with Politics) - Both series have great art - Both are very long running and ongoing series Both are 10/10 in my oppinion  

Kingdom and berserk revolves around a protagonist who thirst for blood and war. These two character must face countless enemies with monstrous strength in order to achieve their their ultimate goal. Both series sets in medieval time involving with the knight and the king. Both berserk and kingdom consist of violence, war and revenge, It also includes mature scene such as sex and affair. Both series are enjoyable and I definitely recommend u reading it if ur a fan of war stories or u love one of these series. 

-Both are some of the best manga ever made -They are both set in a medieval world with large scale battles and plenty of memorable characters.  

Both these mangas do a great job at boring the reader to death. While reading both these I kept wondering what people saw in these series 

If you like berserk, you'll surely like kingdom, unless you're not into the strategical warfare or political element in a manga. Similar to Guts, the protagonist of Kingdom, Shin has a reckless and powerful personality, moreover i'm sure one of the important reasons you like berserk are due to the badass actions from the manga, well Kingdom also got this aspect too altough not as much badass as Berserk, but its definitely one of the best. Next there are the side characters, unlike berserk, which is dark asf, Kingdom aren't as dark but be sure to not be dissapointed, the backgrounds of each characters are told perfectly, Kingdom also aren't scared of killing off it's character, this is primarily due to the story being referenced from China's history of the first emperor of china that successfully united the whole states in China.  

It is not as brutal, but still gory and action packed, with levels of testosterone that even doom guy can respect, though the first fifty chapters aren't anything special also duke hyou best girl 

The demons act the same, and they look the same, their drive is the same, they want to kill the MC, and they are fairly drawn in comparison, which is great. The MC goes berserk too, and the funny thing is his face looks similar. There is also a lot of bleeding going on in the fights, just like berserk's berserk fights. A whole lot really. This is perfect for someone who likes shonen genre, or can bare it, if you absolutely love berserk. The weekly serialization is a big plus for me, specially comparing to berserk's. 

Both are about a troubled young man coming to grips with their trauma and learning to live life. Both have very interesting antagonists with a personal relationship with the protagonists, and both are extremely gory and have incredible art. 

Very good story and everything just feels the same a lot of the time read both of them. 

the panels are drawn very well, theres a lot of gore, but it looks really cool/is not edgy like elfenlied or stuff like that. however berserk has a much wider story and is top 1 on MAL for a reason. just read it, its so amazing 

Both very violent and intense Manga's Story is extremely well done Characters have twists and are quite evil Main Character is an Ultra Badass 

Aside from the fact that fujimoto was inspired in a way on berserk, both are a rollercoster of emotions and feelings, great art and both antagonists are sexy son/daughter of a bitch. 

Both MC’s sink themselves in revenge and drastically change as a result Both MC’s have a curse Fire Punch delves more (then Berserk) into confusing identity with purpose as the main focus whilst Berserk focuses more on the difference between good & evil from different point of views. 

Each explore more complex emotions in the characters and focus on a lost MC. They both play around with different moral views in a fair manner that make the story a lot more interesting. The art's good as is the world and dialogue. Plot in fire punch is very rough but in a way adds to it's charm and if you're able to enjoy what it can uniquely achieve along with berserk you'll overlook it. It stays with you for a long time after reading it. It is generally agreed FP is a unique manga so I'm not telling you to trust my impression. 

The journey of a struggler. Very violent and sometimes grotesque fights and scenery, both exist in dystopian-like worlds. Main character is haunted by a traumatic event and is driven by hatred.  

good storylines A tragic antihero Both MCs dont really talk so side characters have a lot of personality dark mangas with gore abuse and all the good edgy stuff  

Both series are extremely brutal and morbid. In both series the main character is badass and merciless towards his enemies.  

Similar in the sense of gruesome and tragic fates, main characters suffers a lot. 

Overall theme of the manga and character motivations are very similar. Both main characters are badass monster killers, very knowledgeable about the best ways to dispatch the nasties. The ways The Goblin Slayer sets traps and improvises during battle is very reminiscent of the early Guts. Also all the gore and rape... I would even risk saying that Berserk was the main inspiration to Goblin Slayer. 

- dark medieval world - protagonists suffer from a trauma involving monsters - extremelly violent, include rape scenes 

1.Both have a main character with a VERY strong motivation to kill the enemies. 2.Both have an mc who want to protect someone close to them while having the burning passion for revenge. 3.Both of them have a dark setting where there are a "few" character deaths and no mercy is shown at all. 

Dark fantasy 

The two series share the the same feeling. -There's a protagonist who literally to angry to die. -Strong will to fight till the end and destroy their enemies. -Some "romance" -Some people who always willing to help the hero. -Medival place ( I mean sword fight mostly) 

They're fantasy manga set in historical times, will lots of sword fighting and intriguing plots. They feature incredible art and characters you'll fall in love with. 

Both these seinen series main characters really remind me of each other. Manji and Guts are both inhumanly strong. The main difference between the two is that Manji's goal is a little bit more noble than guts', Manji wishes to become mortal again and has to kill 1000 criminals to do so, while Guts just wishes to take revenge on Gods Hand and Griffith. 

Think of a more dialogue heavy Berserk where you would focus on the characters that actually matter, with more banter and page time for the relationship of Guts and Casca, as well as flashed out side characters that feel real, and a humor that actually works and does not feel out of place. The plot progresses on a better pacing and you don't have overly cartoonish or wasted side characters like the Pirates or Wyld, whereas in B.O.T.I. when there's such over the top characters, they are writen in a fashion to where you believe such asshole with no redeeming qualities could exist. 

- Both have the protagonist going to extremes for the sake for their loved one - Character development. Berserk focuses the most on the development of the protagonist. Mugen no Juunin/ Blade of the Immortal sees the development of pretty much all the characters except the very minor characters. - Both have brilliant artwork, although Mugen no Juunin/ Blade of the Immortal has a more simplistic style compared to Berserk - Both have gore. Berserk has more body organs flying around, Mugen no Juunin has more severed appendages  

Both of these manga have a camaraderie to them and very good and interesting characters. 

Admittedly seemingly an unfitting match. The themese differ, so does the target audience and atmosphere. However both titles follow a journey in an extraordinarily expansive world. Each with fantastic Characters (each with their own Ideology and moral compass), aswell as interesting Themes. The Same kind of fights (not necessarily phenominal at choreography/strategy. but) focused on the clash of ideals and goals. One Piece ain't necessarily for kids so don't hesitate for that reason alone. 

Both mangaka are big brain, they put a lot of foreshadowing and thinking into the story that makes the fans theorize about the series. The world building in this two manga are amazing. 

Both are legendary Stories that have stuck around the course of time and have changed Anime and Manga for the better!  

Both mangas are similar when it comes to mood and action. They are filled with fights, monsters and gore. The storyline is also similar: both feature a protagonist who seeks to defeat a former friend, who has destroyed their life. The antagonists are also quite similar: ambitious men who would betray everyone around them to reach their goals. 

Very manly and violent old school manga with a lot of action. Both are about an epic rivalry between the main character and the villain. Also in both manga the villain is very charismatic and beloved by most, until the MC discovers his true evil nature. 

Brutal, violent, gloomy, rough from the content to art. Jojo is also a great adventure and fantasy and supernatural manga.Please read all parts of this series.  

Both are action, adventure, fantasy, seinen mangas. They are very gory and contain lots of supernational elements( e. g. either of them have some sort of alternative dimension or there are magic users, etc. ). Dorohedoro however involves more comedy. Anyway, both of them are great mangas. 

Berserk and Dorohedoro are filled gorgeous art, complex stories, unique characters and easily hold their own in the manga world. Personally both stand out in very different ways and i didn't even make a connection to them until recently but I really urge you to read both. ~both stories are set in an entirely different world that will draw you in ~magic plays big roles in each, Berserk has more classic sorcery while dorohedoro has its entire own type of magic ~main characters are memorable for their personalities ~lovable and funny main sidekick (puck and kaiman) ~both have unorthodox art styles that really make them standout. Berserk being more realistic style with incredible detail (that only gets better through the story) while dorohedoro has a more sketchy and punk-like feeling ~Both authors learned how to draw humans better through the years ~lots of boobs in non sexual situations...like I know this is weird to point out but you sorta start to notice that people tend to end up topless but it normally makes sense as to why (sometimes??)   

Very similar amazing art styles and brutality. 

While they have wildly different settings (Lovecraftian fantasy vs Cybernetic Sci-fi), they both have strong, captivating, mature seinen stories with lots of violence, gore and death, and they both explore the true darkness of humanity. If you like one I guarantee you'll enjoy the other. 

Blood; Gore; Endless pain; Chaotic world filled with destruction and madness. Different worlds and times, different main characters and their motives for fighting, yet everything is going toward final rampage. Gutts and Gally are searching their sanctuary, a place for ease their minds in distorted world. They won't accomplish anything without fight.. 

Both have bleak and violent apocaylpse settings and strong female leads included in as well too. 

Violent and manly manga. Both are about a cold hearted and muscular hero, who wants to take revenge on a demonic villain. In both series huge weapons are used in the battles. Also both manga touch on heavy topics (rape and misogyny in Beserk's case and racism and slavery in Blaster Knuckle's case), although it's not the main focus in either of these manga. 

Both are about extraordinarily strong loner characters on a quest of revenge and they often get into situations where they end up killing masses of monsters. Blaster Knuckle is a lot more silly thanks to its rather strange storyline involving the KKK/slavery/etc, but the general feel is the same. If you like the idea of overly strong men going around killing everything in their path, Blaster Knuckle is for you. 

'Blaster Knuckle' is definitely similar to Berserk (notably the Black Swordsman/Conviction arcs), as they both: - have a male protagonist with a tragic past - said protagonist is extremely scarred with unique weapons - hunt monsters but are hunted by the very people they protect - have stellar art quality, especially with regards to gore It is also worth noting that Miura is friends with the mangaka of BK, so naturally there will be some influence there. It makes for a short read, but try it! 

Psicological, horror, if you like tokyo ghoul i strongly recomend berserk 

both involve character growth and artstyles to convey symbolism 

The artwork, like Berserk, is absolutely beautiful. The story is dark, grim, and, Like Berserk, questions morals and values. Both characters are anti-heroic, and they compliment each other perfectly, despite being polar opposites. Yes, both have monsters, but one is set in a medieval fantasy setting, and one in modern-day Tokyo, they opposites can attract.  

Medieval setting, features a lot of violence and gore with a cruel and charismatic main character (Wolfram/Griffith) 

The author is one of Miura's former assistants. Gritty and violent medieval setting with great art. 

Berserk and Wolfsmund share this dark athmosphere of suffering and death by the powerful. 

Wild action and beautiful illustrations. Covering dark topics  

Strong main character and high-level brutality. They are beautiful as a story of revenge. Pretty good action. Solid atmosphere.  

Strong main character and high-level brutality. Pretty good action.  

These two pieces are mature works and share a constant dark mood throughout, and the art of both reflects that, being highly detailed and gritty. Both are full of violence, sex, rape, and two protagonists who share the will to survive, fighting something beyond themselves.  

MC´s had a difficult life and hard events that changed their "happy" way of thinking to a cruel one. One deals with monsters and the other with his bad reputation. 

While the settings in both manga are different (with HnK happening in a post-apocalyptic world and Berserk happening in medieval times), the overall plot and the nature of the characters are quite similar. Both Guts and Kenshiro are stoic warriors, who roam the lands dealing their own brand of justice and punishing evildoers. Their lives are also filled with tragedies, having seen several of their comrades die, as well as having their lovers taken away from them. On the other hand, Griffith is similar to several HnK villains, most notably Shin, Souther and Raoh, due to his ambition to become a ruler. Apart from the characters, both series are also filled with a lot of action and gore.  

Both take place in a world full of wars, both of mc’s are trying to get revenge on their old best friends who betrayed them, both mc’s are never relaxed, both mc’s are living in a depressing state and both of the mangas are gory and dark. 

Both stories include the main protagonist slaying demons on a quest for revenge. While also missing body parts, and being hunted by evil spirits. 

Ever since his cursed birth, the protagonist has struggled to survive on his own in a historical(-esque) setting with no family or home. Marked as a sacrifice for otherworldly demons and apparitions, he fights using his sword skills continuously with no rest. He eventually gets some companions along the way who help him retain his humanity. 

Both manga are in fantasy settings, though Nausicäa's is a high fantasy whereas Berserk's is a dark fantasy one. They feature magnificent and organic worldbuilding, where the reader can feel the environment's influence at all times. They are also rather violent and gorey at times (of course, Berserk even more given its horror elements), feature large scale battles and offer multiple questions on humanity's nature. Nausicäa apppealed more to me, among others because of its massive spectrum of ideas and its philosophical elements. 

While at a glance the "dark fantasy" of Berserk may not seem a good match with Nausicaä's more environmental sci-fi/fantasy, the stories have several major similarities. -An amazing depiction of war, both in the action & combat, as well as the effects of war on the world and civilians. -"hope" as a leading theme for the characters and story. -Amazing art. -Incredibly fleshed out worlds and extremely engaging world building. -A fun and interesting cast of characters that extends far beyond MCs Guts and Nausicaä. 

The two belong to different genres and have different settings (dark fantasy semi-medieval world in Berserk, renaissance France in Innocent), but they share quite a few things. Both offer a LOT of violence and gore, tragic and compelling characters with good development, and absolutely amazing art. 

Both are gritty, dark, and follow a protagonist who seriously just can't catch a break. If you love the art style of Berserk, particularly in the Golden Age arc, you may also love Innocent's style. Gorey, tragic, and deeply interesting character studies. 

They both show lots of gore. And focus mainly on fighting. Both main characters go on a journey and both get recruited into a type of team.  

Both have: -Medieval-like setting. -Badass male protagonist (Berserk has it on a whole different level though). -A lot of action, deaths and tortures. Both are: -Dark Fantasy. -Horror.  

Both are epic fantasy manga who focus on strong protagonists who have learned to fight since a young age. The main protagonists are warriors, who must often fight against ferocious beasts. Both anime have an overall similar vibe and very detailed artworks. A major difference between the two is the setting: Bestiarius is set in Ancient Rome, while Berserk is set during the Middle Ages. 

Both have this really strong main hero who fights to protect others in this very dark world with a bit of a fantasy side. 

Very obvious homage and borrowed themes as well as character designs.  

The creator of black clover himself said that his work was as if berserk was a shonen. That said, for people who want to read berserk, they should know that it is a much more mature and violent work.  

Both are medieval fantasy stories about a massive, overpowered hero with has a tragic backstory. Helck and Guts both travel with a cast of various characters trying to fix their pasts. Helck is mostly comedic and light-hearted in tone whereas Berserk is more somber and depressing. 

The protagonist of both stories became strong through overcoming hardships throughout their lives. Both characters have tragic backstories full of pain and loss, and both stories have the occasional light hearted moments mixed in with dark elements (although Berserk is much darker). To me, Helck felt like a shonen version of Berserk. 

Both series have protagonists who are constantly put down and have their right to live or exist denied by others(especially antagonists), making them try to adopt a more lonely lifestyle at a point of the story, but end up forging bonds both old and new that give them the strength to fight back and press on despite their struggles and difficulties. Both stories show a lot in regard to healing from trauma and overcoming the damage that it inflicts on a person. Both show faith being portrayed in both positive and destructive ways. 

Both have the terrifying and uncomfortable feeling when you read it 

If you love dark fantasy. Berserk will be perfect manga to start with 

Both hunter x hunter and berserk involve lots of complex mindgames and emotional conflicts. They are truly dark and not for the faint of heart. Black haired emotional guy becomes best friend of white haired emotionless guy. There is betrayal, death, revenge to be found all around. PS: Both are still running series in hiatus, so I don't think you will have any problems with one if you read another.  

both manga have amazing drawings. Historie is less famous and deserves to be read as much as Berserk. 

Both anime start great then drop the ball halfway through then drop the ball even harder 3/4 through, with major difference being that promised neverland actually finished.  

How to deal with the cycle of suffering that every living being has to undergo ? Revenge, love, fate, wrath, death, rejection, the gap between nobility and mob, betrayal, war, both manga adress these thematics. We note the presence of demons, malevolent spirits, monsters, and others. Many characters have a harsh time in a world where only strengh counts. EPIC. 

Ajin expresses questions on the assumed nature of humanity through violence and gore. It is both a spectacle piece and a contemplative existential conversation that forces you to rethink a lot of things you may have over looked. In this way, Berserk is a perfect match. It is far more violent and filled with gore, but it asks important question about morality, the value of life, and what it truly means to be human...all while brandishing a blade that would make Cloud Strife jealous.  

Both take place in Worlds with a fantasy setting. Both have very similarly dark tones, with a fair amount of body horror. Both thematically deal with addiction/ depression. And both have very beautiful artwork in them. 

It's similar so berserk where the mc is also out for vengeance. The art is soo good and the story is very dark. If you've seen the Priest (2011) film, then you might not know, but it's actually based off of this and hollywood didn't even do it justice 

- Fantasy theme - Devils and monsters - Serious themes - Extreme violence - Sexy girls Bastard!! relies a little bit on humor, but can be pretty dark sometimes too. 

Both manga are written by Kentaro Miura, so they share many elements. They both have a strong, male protagonist, who travels with a magical companion. Both manga are set in a fantastical world filled with monsters and strange creatures. Also, in both manga, the protagonist ends up fighting gargantuan monsters. Overall, they have a similar vibe. 

Great masterpieces of all time, Guin Saga deserves more popularity.  

Both of these manga show you what life is like for a mercenary in medieval times. Friendship, betrayal, revenge and sacrifices are central and recurring elements in both stories. 

if you like stories that handle darker subjects with grace & proper emotional weight to their subject matter, monster is actually undefeated no exaggeration 

Similar plot in that the main character is struggling to overthrow the gods. Lots of action and quality art. 

Seinen mangas with an awesome artwork, specially with the demons and the bloody scenes. 

Fairly similar in terms of ruthless main characters, big weapons, overpowered-ness, and gore. Although Jackals is far shorter than Berserk and not as in-depth plot wise, I fairly enjoyed it and the two manga's are quite similar. 

In both prices, the art is made using an impressive and inspiring use of lines. The characters are made to look more realistic than the average comic (regardless of country). The story's also involve a lot of violence, mild comedy, and rather amazing representations of anger. 

the main conflict is very similar to what happens between Guts and Griffith. they are both stories about revenge.
