Berserk is well written with recognizable themes, a deeply consistent internal philosophy, compelling characters, and a extreme highs and lows. Not to mention Kentaro Miura is one of the greatest visual artist/story teller of his generation.
But nothing about Berserk is easy. I can't recommend this to anyone unless I know them really well.
I will always remember Berserk for the line guts yells in the outtakes on the anime dvd.
"Who wants to jerk me off!" The whole band of the jerk off boys (hawk) raise their hands and yell in response to the affirmative.
Sorry I meant easy to read, literally, since sometimes I struggle with comics that are verbose (big reason why I can't do old comics with huge text boxes, I think I have a reading disability, but I digress) the themes though are pretty heavy like you said. Thankfully we have chestnut Puck when shit gets too bleak.
