Yeah the lost children arc has been very uncomfortable. You don't mean to tell me it gets worse right? Guts hasn't fought Rosine yet
I wonder if it is worth it
The Lost Children sub-arc is easily the worst sub-arc in terms of creep shit. There are some individual scenes after Lost Children that are still pretty bad (if I remember the order right, since they are mostly pretty incidental scenes), but in terms of overarching situations I don't think it ever gets close to being that bad, the one exception being that there's a teenage girl who joins the cast right near the end that is repeatedly sexualized, etc. Still creepy and worthy of condemnation but not on the level of the stuff in Lost Children that I feel genuinely uncomfortable with describing.
It's been about a year since I last read berserk, I don't remember some sexualised teen near the end. Who was that?
I mean Isma. I looked it up after making that comment and she's actually introduced slightly earlier than the impression I gave, at 311, but there were still only 364 total chapters so I don't think I was wildly off.
I've kind of memory-holed it, I guess I gotta reread the series to figure out if we just disagree or I'm coping
Id say it's worth it. Miura kind of starts to grow away from being an edgelord creep and over time he looks back on who he was and deals with that too throug Berserk. Also there's some absolutely amazing art coming up
