Kentaro Miura I'll Miss You

By Mugiwara

Guts walking in the darkness

People who know me believe that I am one of the biggest One Piece fanboy, but the reality is that there's a bigger fanboy in me and that is Berserk fanboy. The reason I say that is because I don't recommend people to read One Piece or other series, but when it comes to Berserk I make sure people read it no matter what. I also don't argue with people on Berserk content because I know that whatever concerns or opinions people had regarding Berserk's story or its art are worthless. Berserk is perfect.

The thing that really breaks my heart is that Kentaro Miura, the author of the series, as a writer had completed most of the hard work and now it was just a matter of moving things forward. Every piece was in its place, things started to converge and suddenly he just can't complete his masterpiece. 
 
Miura cared about his story and characters as much he cared about his art. For him, every pixel of the series had to be perfect and that cost him his life. The stress of delivering 100 percent in every chapter is a daunting task and it's way worse for perfectionist mangaka like Miura.
 

I still don't know how can I come to terms with this reality. It feels like something very important has been taken away from me. However, I have just realized how much these fictional stories are a part of my life.

Thank you Miura for providing me with the greatest story I have ever read. Berserk always had my back, and it never disappointed me.

Attack On Titan penultimate chapter 138 shows the role of Mikasa in the story's ending. Mikasa's action has divided the community a little, because some people didn't like why Mikasa did what she did. I will try to explain the rationale behind her decision. Moreover, I didn't realize until this chapter that how important Mikasa words and feelings were for Eren and how it will change the Attack on Titan world.   Before reading this, firstly, you need to understand that the LONG DREAM we witnessed in this chapter was in fact not a dream. It was an alternative reality where Mikasa and Eren decided to be together. Secondly, the Attack Titan has the ability to tell its host what has happened before. This is very important because this explains Eren's sudden change in behavior. From Eren perspective, at one point in the story, possibly where his actions starts to make no sense to Armin, Mikasa, and Survery Corps, he figures out what would happen if he didn't d

The Terrible Two A Must Read for Death Note Fans

The best thing that happened to me during this lock-down was reading The Terrible Two book #1 because the first half part of the book reminded me of my favorite cat-mouse story Death Note . The similarity between two stories lies in the fraternal relation between the main characters where one is always trying to outwit the other. Not only that, they are the only ones who can understand each other, and for that they have some respect for each other. Just like how Kira was the first villain who the detective L had trouble dealing with, the Miles who lives and breathes pranks comes up against another great prankster, Niles, who is always one step ahead of him. As Niles would say "You can't trick a trickster". The Terrible Two is a funny and suspenseful story about two pranksters along with some facts about cows. It is a children book, so it's not too deep and serious as compared to the Death Note story, but the competitive feeling between two chara
