I've got the 10 that are out so far and i think they're worth every penny. They look great on the shelf and having the art in the larger format is IMHO the best way to experience Berserk.
Absolutely 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Agreed. The rebalancing of the art colors/shades along with much bigger size really let's Miura's gorgeous art be seen at its absolute best. Plus they look _amazing_ on a shelf. 10/10 Cannot recommend them enough.
I think theyre worth it. Ive only gotten the deluxe editions since i started collecting just a few months back ive only got 1 and 2 right now but it feels so nice to hold that big book, hoping to get 3,4, and 5 soon.
Ah shit I have the first 2 as well! I planned on buying the rest soon with some birthday money
Agreed
i kinda wish i had them, but i like collecting the seperate tankobans because of the cover art
I’m currently in the same boat. I recently collected manga and my collection is growing. I haven’t read beserk just because of how many chapters that are out for the manga. but I plan on reading beserk when the deluxe edition 12 come out in November. I currently have 1 and 2. gonna try and get vol 3 this weekend
@@patrickzalatoris3206these got the covers in the back
I have the first 5 worth it larger print translations are better if you wait a few months the price drops drastically. Also bonus is the bookmark to keep track.
This first time I’ve had experiencing Berserk was after I decided to fork over $200 for volumes 1-5, which ended up being the best $200 bucks I’ve spent. It’s only been a month since then, so I may seem like I’m going through a bit of a happy haze, but this manga is displaying true greatness and artistry.
I feel like I’m having the best possible first experience reading what I already consider a masterpiece. I can’t say enough praise. The characters are so complex, the story is so rich. Most of all it helps me confront the darkness in myself, and I feel is helping to better myself as a person.
RIP Master Kentaro Miura, I have nothing but high respect for you good man.
I have the 10 deluxe editions that are out right now and I absolutely love them. The 11th & 12th won’t come out until later this year but I will rather wait and than get the single books imo. The two page spreads are absolutely gorgeous when viewing them in the huge books :)
I'm assuming 12 will complete the deluxe collection?
@@muchhorrorsuchwow I think so tbh. It’s announced for a November release but I can’t be sure if it’ll complete the series or not
I don't think so, assuming that every three months they release, I assume the rest of them will come out by 2023 with either a 13th or 14th deluxe volume.
the single are great too.
@@muchhorrorsuchwow No, there’s 41 volumes to complete the story so far, so another 3 or 4 volumes, they’ll probably do 14 and have 2 volumes in it with extra art or put the guidebook in it.
You opening the Donovan page at the end made me legitimately laugh out loud. 😆
The Berserk big books and my Junji Ito/Shintaro Kago collection are some of most treasured possessions. Love em to death.
I was actually having this dilemma last month. I went with the singles, but it was only the first 3 or so volumes, so now I'll just go special edition. Thanks Ryan!
You do have nice hands...I only had a few of the regular manga but decided to switch to these Deluxe hardcovers, I have all the ones currently out (volume 10). It is a totally different experience seeing the incredible art on these more oversized edition. Glad you have upgraded.
Noice, I've been preo-ordering them since the first one.
craziest thing is that I dreamed that they should do some big berserk leatherbounds and I would imagine exactly what they did. I had the idea for those deluxe like 2 years before they started advertising them
It’s very common for manga series to come out with hardcover deluxe editions
@@bobbybalogne2565 I didn't know about the concept of omnibus at that point. Obviously in my dream book the entire story would fit in one book but that's not really in the realm of possibilities
Just recently got interested in Berserk through Dark Souls and I saw that that the deluxe editions are on sale so I picked up #1 and I will be buying as many as I can
I have nearly all the singles manga of Berserk. Need volume 41 which is the last and will be published to the US in November.
And really even though I know the whole story I wanted to buy the singles but of course when to buy will be known as I like to balance my spending habits too
I have collected 2 of them at the moment, and I love them. The size of a deluxe edition is incredible compared to the regular manga and it truly makes the artwork stand out. Totally worth it!
These Deluxe Books Have been my Personal First And The Improved Artwork And Bigger Pages Make Me Glad I Started With Them. I Have The First 3 and I’m Working Towards Getting The 4th. Love Them And Definitely Would Recommend.
Ryan I think you'll find that as you progress through the volumes in deluxe format that they are much easier to read compared to the smaller individual volumes. I have both, and trying to read the dialogue, especially Puck's and Ivalaera's, is such a chore even with super bright lighting. With the larger format it is not a problem (for most).
My understanding is that the pages in the deluxe version are the same size as they were when they were being published in Young Animal, but I have never imported one of them to confirm that. If someone knows differently feel free to correct me.
Without a doubt they are worth it. I have all 10 vol, it’s how I first read the series. The books look beautiful on your shelf, having a solid amount of content in each one with 3 volumes. And the oversized artwork alone with the beautiful volume covers at the ends of each one, definitely recommend.
Is each deluxe edition in order though or is it like just any volumes thrown in? Like does deluxe edition 1 have volumes 1,2,3? And so on?
@@uwantacroissant5734 yea. All the deluxe are in order. Deluxe 1 has vol 1,2,3. Deluxe 2 has vol 4,5,6 and so on
I see Fist Of The North Star on your shelf that’s one of my all time favorites
Yep, the addiction kicked in when I got my first 2. I have the Japanese tankobans, but these are my first English translations, which I am enjoying very much. I asked my buddies to grab me volumes I don't have for my birthday at whatever discount prices you can find on the internetz.
The deluxe are worth it! Yeah, I have them in Tankobon, kindle and Deluxe….. yeah I’ve invested heavily in Berserk…. Volume 11 out in July! Can’t wait!
I thought it was November?
@@christopheralequin42 so we get 3 Volumes a yr. Already got volume 10, next is volume 11 for approximately July 12 arrival and then 12 for November 8th according to the availability dates set on the Amazon pre- orders. Hope this helps!
Check out a Video on how to properly open an Omnibus for the first time.
The back of the book will live longer. Trust me.
Thanks. I am a huge Berserk fan and am looking at getting the physical books. I may go with the deluxe just because the art is so much bigger and easy to see
I ordered Deluxe vol. 1 today. Can't wait to get it.
7:15 wow so cool never seen that mentioned in any other review video of the deluxe. for sure getting them over the singles!
I started collecting the manga last year and now I have all the Deluxe edition volumes up to date. I'm so glad that I found your channel, because this manga is one of the best things I've ever bought!
Theyre worth it. Look nice on the shelf too. One of mine came messed up with some pages folded inside the book. Deluxe editions of any manga i like is what i usually go for.
I may eventually get them.
I started reading Berserk when I was in high school in Italy, so my collection as of today is a horrifying mess made of three different editions in two sizes and two different languages. So have something actually resembling a full series could make sense.
Collecting Berserk Deluxe is the best thing I've done with my money, cause there is so much to learn from the story and the quality of the deluxe enhance the experience for me. I live in SEA country and there is not much bookstore that actually import Berserk, especially deluxe. I have 10 volumes of them and I will collect the future releases as well, its definitely worth every penny (when its not inflated to Everest) for a Berserk fan
Now if only they released a super deluxe edition made with traditional human leather bound covers.
1:58 okay, Mozgus
Since it has no dust jacket, maybe you could get a custom dust jacket for the book to get the cover art in the way you want it.
I watched the anime back in 2007, like you I needed to know how it ended. Started collecting the Manga in 2009, have the full collection with the regular edition.
In 2020 I started buying the kindle version and have the whole set digital now. Been holding off on the deluxe editions because of the $$$, but it’s on my radar to eventually get.
Just ordered my first one. Appreciate the heads up homie.
It’s funny that you just did this video. I literally just bought the first 10 sets this week. I expect there should be four more sets to get through to chapter 364. I intend to get the rest once they’re released.
I have the Golden Age entirely in deluxe. Probably also gonna be picking up the Lost Children in deluxe as well... The rest will prob be in singles except for the final Kentarou Miura volumes. Those will be in Deluxe.
Imma be so motivated at work just to buy these, seems totally worth it! Can't wait to get 'em all.
They seem pretty neat; the only thing keeping me away from them are the price and size of the omnibuses - granted, you get multiple volumes rather than one for each book, so it can be at least justified compared to just buying them in singles. For the size, though: I sometimes like to bring manga with me, so I keep them in a coat pocket, so...these are a bit too big. I may get them in the future, but currently I'm focusing on getting the singles whenever I can find them.
I'm waiting for the 11th one to be released and delivered. It's very nice I adore the artwork.
I love the deluxe ones. They look so amazing on the shelf ♡♡♡
These Deluxe editions are a treat. I hope Dark horse keeps making them with more and more series aswell.
I just entered the world of Berserk the last year, first with the 97’ anime adaptation and I got completely hooked so I decided to read the manga, but I honestly didn’t wanted to read it on my cellphone screen, so I searched in Amazon to buy the first volumes, and then I saw the deluxe edition and I said “why not?” And men, it was a very good decision to make. The feel of the book in your hands and the quality of the images is amazing. I only bought the first volume but I just ordered the second one yesterday and I can’t wait to have it on my hands. Hopefully I’ll have the full collection soon enough.
So, it doesn’t matter if you’re new to this Berserk world or a long time hardcore fan, it is definitely worthy.
RIP Kentaro Miura
Im just like you lol i just finished the anime and couldnt believe how it ended on epi 25 so i came to figure out if the deluxe was better before i bought the manga! Good video 👏
I’m actually doing the opposite, I started with the deluxe editions, I have all 10, I actually ended up with 2 copies of the second deluxe haha. But I’m now buying the regular tankōbon volumes because it’s my favourite story & I just have to own both, I have the first 13 and buying a few more each week.
But the deluxe volumes are just so much nicer, the black faux leather just suits the story so much, and the lovely white pages just make the art look so much better on the larger page, I just stick my nose down onto the page every time I open one just to get the lovely smell of the ink, and I will always relate Berserk to that unique ink smell of those books, god they’re so nice.
Any chance you’d sell that 2nd deluxe?
@@shoaibpervez8986no😊
I would buy those deluxes,but in 2019 was also a year,where Berserk started being released in my country.(I’m from Czech republic)
And so here it is being released in singles.
I actually prefer the large hardcovers over small ones, I have 4 volumes of the large ones, the viz big Vegabond Vol 1, the entire battle angel alita large collection and blade of the immortal deluxe vol1 and 2
I absolutely love the Vagabond Vizbigs, the spines look amazing, just finished putting it together, got vol 12 two weeks ago, have it complete now.
Right now a lot of the deluxe editions are on sale for $26-$30 on amazon
i have a question so the deluxe have two book singles together
Honestly i collected all the deluxes up to 8 at the time(I have 9 and 10 now) . I got the singles that weren’t in deluxe form but im still getting the rest of the deluxe versions when they come out.
I love the deluxe editions and so does my cat! He loves to scratch the leather when I'm not looking 🙃
Wow, were the same dude. As you moved to the shelf, i started noticing the collections i had - vinland saga, bersek, vagabond and then you say "i watched the anime first and as soon as it ended i had to buy the volumes to see what happens next" and that was why i had the whole berserk collection
I watched the 1997 Anime over 100 times. I wanted to know what happened after the eclipse. Watched the golden age movies (obviously those sucked). So I decided to read the mangas. I have 1-5 and I read them all within the first days of buying them. They are addicting to read.
1:55, i had to go back and make shore i heard right 🤣
I decided it was worth it to collect the deluxe vs the singles, and I think it was a great decision, I've been so happy with them and their quality. I've got vol. 1-10 and can't wait to get the rest as they're released. As well berserk is the only manga I own and they sit proudly in my living room.
If you like Berserk you should also read Claymore, it’s another great manga that I love.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__- oh don't worry, I've definitely read claymore
What are the total no. Of volume of berserk deluxe , and will the last volume be published ?
@@nakulgupta7475 right now 14, and #14 has the last chapters that Kentaro made
I went to an anime convention the other day with the wife and they we're selling the singles at discount price but we held off cause I plan on getting these. For me the size of the pages makes it worth it.
I have noticed in other videos that pretty much all mangas (the singles especifically) in English have like yellow-ish pages. Like the white is not really white. Later I noticed that it's pretty much the same in Japan (so, they're faithful in that regard) and, the thing is that in Spain (where I'm from) all the singles are black and actual white like the deluxe edition. It's wierd, but hey, not complaining. I guess some company started doing it and the others had to follow.
I would like to know if it's the same in other European countries.
It’s just cheaper paper, every manga is printed on it, only the deluxe have those really nice eggshell white pages, same with Hellsing (the best looking deluxe) and Blade of the Immortal. The Gantz omni’s by Dark Horse also have the regular manga style pages.
O
Manga in Japan in my experience yellow faster. I think they use in general cheaper paper. This said the volumes are also very cheap to buy so it's a trade off. The english releases obviously also can yellow though. It's the paper quality that makes the diffrence aswell as how well you take care of them and store them.
I really hope when I'm like 80 years old these massive black books will still be in my collection.
Faxx😊
Big points for the Gantz manga collection there.
Got about 25 singles not in order. Will def get this. And a few must have singles
I plan on collecting the delux
thx to your video, I am sure that I prefer them over the singles
i started with the delux right away since i expected berserk would benefit from larger pages and the price well is it not basicly the same as buying 3 singles?
currently collecting all singles. getting all deluxe ones after
They are soulless. Everytime I see a deluxe edition on a manga shelf I die a little inside
😂that hand model part
Yo.
The “Vaccinate!” Harvey Milk Day performance 5/22/2021 by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus reminds me of the Eclipse in Berserk.
Imagine a Gantz deluxe edition set, they could do that after they finish up Berserk
Yuup😊
So far i bought all the volujmes deluxe from 1 to 10 and i gotta say, they are one of the best prints I've seen with my eyes. Outstanding quality, great colored artworks at the end. Overall in my opinion its probabily the way to experience this masterpiece of a manga.
u recommend me to buy Deluxe edition or single volumes
@@khaledbebo7506 Overall deluxe, the print is 100 times better imo and its easier to have a full collection without hunting down single volumes that might be unavailable
@@giuliok how much chapters in Frist vol ?
@@khaledbebo7506 i think every volume of the deluxe is equivalent to 3 volumes of the original version idk exactly how many chapters
Your underlying sexual innuendo is hilarious
Careful with the foil letters I hear they can get scratched if you put them too tightly on the shelf
I’ve seen the deluxe edition at Barnes and nobles for a while
Now , never interested me until I watched a 5 hour video review on it now I need to read it all
Can you please do an analysis of the character Hans Günsche from hellsing ?
I have a second copy of the second deluxe, it’s brand new still wrapped up & unopened, I could send it to you if you want?
1:57 the way you said it so casually
I'm glad I saw this video, Ryan. It helped me make the right choice.
Congrats Ryan!!!

Great video 🙏
I have both regular (in Italian language) and the Deluxe, Dark Horse’s volume win easily because our version is really bad in comparison. What I like about the regular are the covers of each volume.
Ps. Our Italian books of Berserk (most versions) have similar flaw (mirrored pages, some errors or bad interpretation in the translation, lower quality images, etc.).
The volume covers are included in the back of each deluxe volume
@@Gyro_Scope360 I’ve seen them, they are really cool. :)
How many are available as of now ?
Just got 1 single looking to upgrade
I have all the golden age arc with these! Awesome!
I’ve got ten of these and love them
I've got both collected, deluxes are for me to read at home, if any friends want to read berserk i let them borrow the singles
Hey Ryan, one question i have that i almost never seen answered in the review of the deluxe edition is the paper quality and paper feel. Is it kind of dry and rough, the same as the singles. Or does the paper have a satin finish and is higher quality? Thanks
I don't have the singles to compare (at least not for Berserk) but I do have to say that the pages are super soft and smooth. They feel nice to the touch and are thick enough that you don't feel like they're going to rip while you turn the pages.
@@quintessence2183 thank you!
The Dark Horse singles look like they were printed on newspaper.
Ive been buying them every pay heck for about $30 on amazon!! Gooo!!
I’ve got 10 waiting on 11 to release
I literally just started collecting them, collecting one or two every paycheck.
I've got all 10 volumes all between my Guts sword book ends.
The pervy humor tho💀😭
I disliked the deluxe editions at first,because of the cover ,but recently I fell in love with them and I'm collecting them. I have 10 or so singles too,but I would rather have the deluxe ones completed
bought the first one for the black swordsman arc
I have a local comic/manga shop that does a buy one get one 50% deal every other month or so. Their making it real difficult for me to say no to buying the whole series all over again
I’ve gotten 10 so far and LORD I LOVE READING IT
1:53 Mozgus moment
so is a deluxe 3 singles or is each deluxe a 1 to 1 version of the singles?
After the Rurouni Kenshin vizbig editions and the Berserk Deluxe, I wish this would become more common in the west. I'd probably upgrade my YYH manga if they did a Deluxe for that series
More ate coming
They’re genuinely perfect.
I just bought the Hellsing Deluxe Edition.
I collect them on delux and Iv just finished volume 8
I haven't try do draw these art styles esp berserk
Gays can i start with the deluxe edition instead of the original version?
2:35 caught me off guard
I started buying Blade of the Immortal regular omnibuses. Right when i saw the deluxes i was like ffffffuuuuuuuu!!!!! The Deluxes are worth it, but not if you already have the original volumes
I’ve been re reading The deluxe Editions there great.
