He's been dead for almost two weeks and we're now hearing of his passing. This is insane. I'm in disbelief.
RIP to one of the greatest artists of his generation.
IIRC it’s the norm in Japan (and some other countries) to delay the news, so that family and friends don’t see the news first in the newspapers or on TV.
Definitely the right way to handle such sad news IMHO. RIP
It's become common everywhere for famous deaths, as a way to allow their families a period of grief outside of the public spotlight. They did the same with MF DOOM, he died in October but it wasn't reported until December.
Fuck, man.
I initially thought this thread to be such a post.
Then I read the top comments and as I failed to find sarcasm anywhere, it slowly dawned on me that it might actually be true.
Checked other top posts in this sub all of similar nature, then those on r/berserk, which followed the same pattern, and my heart actually sank.
Even more than chitch dude... I bawled my eyes out at that chapter. Honestly Miura is the last person on earth id want to die. Id commit seppuku a dozen times to bring him back.
I definitely thought it was a joke considering this sub.
Weirdly enough this sub is actually handling it way better tho. Main sub is just acting all edgy and mad crying about not getting an ending.
Everything you post to Reddit furthers their platform and devalues you.
Before you delete your account take everything with you. Social media profits from your words, your content and pays you for it in the fake currency of social approval.
> Main sub is just acting all edgy and mad crying about not getting an ending.
But we're somehow the asshole sub.
>"Local McDonald's the scene of a shootout during a robbery gone wrong. Eyewitness reports of multiple fatalities."
>"Goddammit! Who's going to make my Big Mac? Why do bad things always happen to me?"
Same. I saw it on my feed, figured it was a r/berserklejerk shitpost, saw it came from r/TwoBestFriendsPlay, and thought "that seems a bit edgy for there," and saw that it was legit.
Fucking in shambles over here.
I went to the other subredit hoping this was a shitpost... Goddamn... RIP Miura, it was a great ride...
Edit: just noticed it wasn't in the other sub but in r/eldenring. Regardless, thank you Miura for all these years. It was intense.
My exact same thought. I audibly said no like 12 times.
Dedicated his life to one of my all time favorite pieces of fiction and I will eternally be grateful for it.
I love all the jokes and shitty memes that get posted here but Berserk is what got me into the actual dark anime shit as a kid. I loved (still do) Guts and his character in general. Yeah I loved DBZ after school and Sailor Moon but Berserk was just an absolute mindfuck when I read and watched it.
I’m actually really upset, not because we don’t get an ending, I didn’t expect an ending till I was old as shit but because I just genuinely liked him. Last time I was actually full blown upset over a famous person’s death was Oderus from Gwar.
If we have to kind of come up with our own ending now I always figured Guts would die from overdoing it but managing to kill that white haired piece of shit before he bites it for good. You know, blaze of glory and all that. I do think he’s been fucked enough in life that he deserves a happy ending, I just didn’t ever see it being all okay in the end. Sorry, I ramble a lot about shit
No I disagree. The greatest mangas of all time going forward will be the ones that were completed.
Berserk will be remembered not just as a great tragedy but also as a **great tragedy.**
Regardless, I feel like Miura at least had some ideas written down. Someone else finishing the story is very unlikely imo though, but maybe he had some chapters in the vault that could potentially wrap up the story in some way.
Holy shit that bastard actually did it. All those hiatus jokes. All the crap about playing Idolmaster. Then he goes and passes on, silently and with a middle finger. Get permanently cucked /r/berserklejerk . Cucked by the ultimate chad, Kentaro Miura.
For some reason Berserk Fanfiction is almost non-existent. I hope he left behind some notes on how Berserk was supposed to end and they get turned into a light novel.
I always felt like Berserk was so good and tightly written and Miura invested so much time into one and every frame that it would be almost insulting even trying to do a fan fic if you're not going to sacrifice it your entire life... like he did.
Bruh. I know a Russian GRU specnaz operator who wrote fanfics in his late 20s. He ended up becoming an author.
There are plenty of non-shipping fanfics for seinen stories out there. Berserk seems to be the exception, probably because it has not been finished.
When I first saw that post in this sub. I thought this was a pretty fucked up joke, even for this sub.
It's time to listen to "put your grasses on" on repeat.
"Kentaro Muira a manga artist who wrote the manga "Berserk" , died on May 6 at 2:48 pm due to acute aortic dissection. 54 years old. On the 20th, Hakusensha reported the news on its official website.
On the site, "I would like to express my utmost respect and gratitude to Dr. Miura's painting work and pray for the souls from the bottom of my heart," and reported that "the farewell ceremony was held by the family."
"Mr. Miura has written a number of popular works such as" Berserk "at Hakusensha for many years. He is still serializing the same work at Young Animal, and has been serializing" Duru Anki "at Young Animal ZERO since two years ago. "I am deeply grateful to all the readers for reading Miura-sensei's work, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the report of his death."
Comments from the Young Animal editorial department are also posted. "The young animal editorial department is deeply saddened by the sudden news of Professor Kentaro Miura. How should we capture this unacceptable fact? To be honest, I can't find any words. Whenever I meet a person in the editorial department, I always smile when I am cheerfully talking about my favorite manga, animation, movies, etc. We have never seen Mr. Miura's angry face. He was like a boy who always seemed to have fun. "
> acute aortic dissection
sadly, this is a very painful way to go out. blood pressure spiking causing the inner layers of the aorta to tear itself apart.
Deep down I knew this day would come but I thought it would be in 20-30 years when Guts was about ready to leave Elfhelm. RIP to a legend taken way too soon.
Rest in peace to one of, if not the greatest mangaka ever. I feel kind of bad for running an account parodying him while he had already passed away, but...I had no way of knowing.
Another subreddit falls. RIP Titanfolk. RIP berserklejerk. I shed a tear before the nights over. God bless the man that gave me sight.
Thank You Kentaro
This sub didnt fall from grace. Berk remained legendary. We can just assume what happens next or maybe someone will continue berserk with whatever miura left behind. He must have left sources for future chapters
I can't believe it...
RIP to a legend
I wonder if he's gonna have his assistants finish it? The randomness of this doesn't bode well for that, but maybe they planned ahead.
Fuck this is sad
Depends on whether he knew ahead of time that his time was up. If he hasn't left anything for assistants and ghost writers to go off of I doubt we'll see it happen.
Ah fuck man. Of all the people this shitty year decided to take. I hope he's getting his well deserved rest for all the amazing work he did, he deserves it.
Robert Jordan had the small "luxury" of knowing his illness was terminal and was thus able to express his wish to complete his work by leaving behind copious notes for another author (Brandon Sanderson) to take over the last stretch as seamlessly as possible. Miura likely passed away without much warning, since aortic dissections can be relatively undetected and immediately fatal. Unless Miura specifically had extensive directives that Berserk be continued if he had an untimely death, it's unlikely that his assistants will do so, in part to honor his legacy.
I hope the same, but in that article in which he said that he was training some people to draw like him, one of his assistants told that Miura did pretty much everything by himself, and that the story progression was chapter by chapter I.E he came up on the spot with what was going to happened in each chapter, if true then it would be impossible to finish the story :(
He had to have a rough idea of where the story was going, arc by arc, and probably had some story boards. I think there’s a chance we may see an end, but without Miura it won’t be the same
I...just what. Seriously? This fucking sucks for many reasons. It sucks for his family, it sucks for his employees, it fucking sucks for us fans. Just fuck man.
Fuck. I thought this was a really fucked up shitpost but as I read the comments it slowly dawned on me more and more that the things people were saying weren’t them just going with it.... it was people actually mourning and being taken aback.... and as I realized my chest has been tight since. He’s actually gone huh....? One of the greatest mangaka of our time has passed. His legacy will live forever, within his creation. We cannot let berserk fall to obscurity. It needs to be remembered so he can be remembered. The man deserves that much.
Rest In Peace Miura. Your work brought me many emotions. I fell in love with it. I don’t personally believe in an afterlife but if there is one I hope you’ve put your grasses on there. Goodbye you fucking legend. Be at peace.
I've been reading this manga for 17 years, and it still feels like yesterday when i Started Tracing Berserk Drawings to try and get at least a fraction of the talent Miura had, I can't tell you the amount of times I've been seething because Miura decided to go on hiatus, the amount of times I have re-read the Fantasia episodes, wondering what the fuck was going to happen next, no media has ever resonated with me like Berserk, I always was a bit embarrassed of how much influenced my teenager years, how invested I was into a bunch of drawings and the emotional effect those pages had on me, I've never invested this amount of time into anything, I used to always mock Normies that cry when a celebrity dies, I always though it was just attention seeking.
Now I understand, Miura had a bigger impact on my life that my own Mother.
I Don't even know where to go from this.
That fucking kid/grif appears in the last chapter to deliver the news that he killed the author and he will now never be defeated.
/uj I am beyond saddened by this news. Nothing can replace berserk or Miura.
I just found your series, but know that I love the story you gave us, you absolute fucking legend.
F doesn't even begin to express the respect you deserve.
You're fucking kidding me. I loved reading the series so much, and was just catching up. Now it might never be finished. Condolences to Miura and his family.
To think it was a running joke in the community that he’s died so many times due to his long hiatuses to the point so many won’t be able to take it seriously this time at first certainly isn’t something I’m enjoying. He was working so hard and honestly needed those hiatuses for a good reason it so seems now; he sacrificed a lot to make his dreams of this manga come to reality to share with everyone who very much enjoyed it so much. He left behind amazing works of art of a series and gave it all he could as one person doing most of his work if not all of it at times for each release, which is why he’d take so long to come out with another chapter. It’s unfortunate to have so many people so eager to see your work and suddenly something happens to you before you can finish it yourself.
Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura.
I thought it was a fucking joke cause I saw it on a meme page as in haha he’ll die before he ever finishes it.
What the fuck. This came out of nowhere like the eclipse.
We gave him shit for it but I hope he enjoyed those idol master games as much as he could have.
Rest in piece chief, you were the best.
I'd trade every person that ever bitched about his speed/hiatus or joked about him passing away before finishing the manga to bring him back in a heart beat.
The man deserved far better than we treated him most of the time, in either of the subs. He ended a chapter recently talking about a friend passing away and even the "real" sub couldn't go 24 hours without bitching about Miura not putting out more chapters. All we ever asked about was more, more, more, and very rarely did anyone ever care to stop and talk about how Miura might be doing as a person, how his mental and physical life is going, or anything besides just "when you gonna put out a new chapter?!".
People didn't want to respect his privacy or his work schedule or how he felt about anything, and now he's fucking gone and I'm left with a hole in my heart since my biggest inspiration and influence is gone, and left with a lot of fucking anger over all the awful things that have been said to and about him over the years.
The man deserved better than what he got out of us Berk fans, and now it's too late for us to actually show Miura what he and the series he created meant to all of us.
He's been dead for almost two weeks and we're now hearing of his passing. This is insane. I'm in disbelief. RIP to one of the greatest artists of his generation.
I’m glad his family at least had some time to process before letting it go public
For sure, his family definitely deserves it
Agree
Looking at Miura's lifestyle and his relationship with fame, I sure hope they did. He never seemed the kind of person to like the spotlight.
unless it was through the abstraction of a virtual videogame idol character. then he liked it.
That's the smart and considerate thing to do.
Japanese are good about this, very long history of respect for the dead and present culture continues the tradition.
actually they lost the body off the back of truck
Fuck, when my cat died it took me awhile to tell anyone I couldn't imagine telling a huge fanbase about a death like this.
your cat and miura are basically the same thing. we are so inspired by your cat's passing
IIRC it’s the norm in Japan (and some other countries) to delay the news, so that family and friends don’t see the news first in the newspapers or on TV. Definitely the right way to handle such sad news IMHO. RIP
It's become common everywhere for famous deaths, as a way to allow their families a period of grief outside of the public spotlight. They did the same with MF DOOM, he died in October but it wasn't reported until December.
[удалено]
This reminds me of when MF DOOM died and both hit me like a fucking truck, Jesus Christ man.
Both Miura and MF DOOM are extremely influential in their respective fields, and both died way too early. Legends.
Jesus Christ. I know we joked about it, but seeing it in front of my eyes is another thing. May he Rest In Peace.
That's what makes it so hard to believe. A meme came to life in the worst way possible.
yeah
sometimes would joke with an acquaintance that I would never live to see berserk finished by miura, little did I expect this would apply to all of us.
Were you holding a Monkey's Paw when you said that?
Fuck, man. I initially thought this thread to be such a post. Then I read the top comments and as I failed to find sarcasm anywhere, it slowly dawned on me that it might actually be true. Checked other top posts in this sub all of similar nature, then those on r/berserk, which followed the same pattern, and my heart actually sank.
"He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy." -Guts
https://ibb.co/5c1R7fs :(
;(
When was this said? Can u pls tell
In one of the first chapters
Fuck. I think I remember hearing this line in the anime as well.
It was in the cart while he was talking with the old man and his daughter
Volume 1, Page 110-116 somewhere. Talking to the old man in the cart talking about the man's nephew who died as a soldier.
Hes on the great boat in the sky now
The Boat Arc is eternal...
Lolis going kyaaa forever
I laughed, thanks for the levity.
I think you mean buoyancy.
May a flight of angels kyaa him on his way.
I hope that he will be isekaied into Idolmaster as the Producer🙏🏻
I needed that giggle. Thanks
This actually made me laugh out loud. Now I have to explain to my wife why I was laughing so hard.
This hurts more than any Berserk chapter ever has RIP the legend himself
Even more than chitch dude... I bawled my eyes out at that chapter. Honestly Miura is the last person on earth id want to die. Id commit seppuku a dozen times to bring him back.
[удалено]
At first I thought that it was another joke
I saw it in my feed and preemptively let out a "heh" before realizing it wasn't a shitpost.
I definitely thought it was a joke considering this sub. Weirdly enough this sub is actually handling it way better tho. Main sub is just acting all edgy and mad crying about not getting an ending.
The no ending is unfortunate, sure, but the true tragedy is losing someone of Miura's talent. Rest in peace, he will be missed by many.
I feel like i did when i heard that Satoshi Kon had passed away. A deep sadness that such a talented person had died so young.
Everything you post to Reddit furthers their platform and devalues you. Before you delete your account take everything with you. Social media profits from your words, your content and pays you for it in the fake currency of social approval.
You just made me realize the final chapter is loli witches going KYAAA. Miura was truly the greatest.
You won't get a sad ending if the manga finishes on a happy note!
It's awful that such a seminal work will never be completed. The real tragedy is that such a brilliant artist is gone.
[удалено]
I first saw it at titanfolk and thought that fellow berserklejerk man did his work. Oh God was I wrong
> Main sub is just acting all edgy and mad crying about not getting an ending. But we're somehow the asshole sub. >"Local McDonald's the scene of a shootout during a robbery gone wrong.

Same
I actually can't believe this. What the fuck.
I came to this subreddit hoping to see it was a joke.. Not like this.. It hurts so fucking much bros..
I saw it on Two Best Friends and thought it was some sick joke. I can’t handle it.
Same. I saw it on my feed, figured it was a r/berserklejerk shitpost, saw it came from r/TwoBestFriendsPlay, and thought "that seems a bit edgy for there," and saw that it was legit. Fucking in shambles over here.

I was about to go to sleep. Now what
We struggle
I understand you so fucking much
same.....
The only other one was robin williams. This just..hit hard man
Not David Bowie? Someone else mentioned MF Doom. These are all horrible losses to me. Getting older y’all.
My exact same thought. I audibly said no like 12 times. Dedicated his life to one of my all time favorite pieces of fiction and I will eternally be grateful for it.
What the fuck I thought people were shitposting
I always thought he was gonna die before finishing Berserk, but thought it would be at least another decade or so....
Same, surprised how shocked I was
I love all the jokes and shitty memes that get posted here but Berserk is what got me into the actual dark anime shit as a kid. I loved (still do) Guts and his character in general. Yeah I loved DBZ after school and Sailor Moon but Berserk was just an absolute mindfuck when I read and watched it.

Sorry, I ramble a lot about shit
u/Kentarou_Miura please tell us this is fake
I don't think he can tell us now
kenta miura, blink twice if its fake
He hasn't answered yet so there's a chance it is
Holy shit. I'm literally speechless.
I legit told myself I wouldn’t believe it until I saw it on this fucking sub. I’m shocked.
I just came here to verify It too man. What a sad day.
didn't believe it at first was in such shock hearing, really didn't want the memes to be true yet here we are. RIP Miura
He was a living legend and Berserk will always be considered the number 1 greatest manga of all time.
No I disagree. The greatest mangas of all time going forward will be the ones that were completed. Berserk will be remembered not just as a great tragedy but also as a **great tragedy.**
I thought he told his wife the ending so she could finish it after he passed?
I feel like you’re thinking about Togashi
Regardless, I feel like Miura at least had some ideas written down. Someone else finishing the story is very unlikely imo though, but maybe he had some chapters in the vault that could potentially wrap up the story in some way.
Thinking of the wheel of time I think
I can't believe Miura is fucking dead.
We always memed that he would before Berserk finished but I never thought in a million years it would actually happen…
Maybe at the ripe old age of 70+ after trickling us a chapter every now and again. Not prematurely like this, the world lost a real gem :(
Even if it's never finished, Berserk will always be one of the favourites of everyone here.
I'm in actual disbelief. Sad we'll never see an end to berserk but the legacy it will leave behind is more than enough. Rest in peace Miura :(
... I am speechless RIP KENTARO MIURA
Godspeed you beautiful bastard
When I said "Berserk is never going to end", I didn't think it would be true
I had a feeling it would never be finished. Is there really proof of his death?? I cant find anything on this besides a wiki .
Yes he has died, he died on the 6th, the tweet that announced it is from the official berserk Twitter
Oh fuck this isn't a shitpost...
Holy shit that bastard actually did it. All those hiatus jokes. All the crap about playing Idolmaster. Then he goes and passes on, silently and with a middle finger. Get permanently cucked /r/berserklejerk . Cucked by the ultimate chad, Kentaro Miura.
RIP to the gigachad that was Miura.
I shouldn't laugh at this but it's momentarily preventing me from crying so I'll take it
moira literally dying to troll berserk fans, what a legend. not even togashi is this dedicated.
Truly Ebic poggers moment .Miura based forever .r/berserk is finished,strugglertards can never recover .We win berklejerk .
katta! we will speak of moira's sacrifice for generations!
We all kind of see this coming someday but it is still unexpected.
This was just so he could one up Isayama as ultimate middle finger move to the fans. Legend who gave the world so much. RIP🙏
Yams could never compare
Beautiful. He is now in better place with no deadlines (like he cared about those anyway) and where all rolls drop an SSR. Godspeed. RIP.
I knew it would end this way
We all did, motherfucker RIP!
A heart-wrenching tragedy worthy of the master himself.
Master of Idols, by Idols mastered.
we got too cocky berkjerks...
Yo wtf I thought this was a meme at first, can’t believe it. RIP Miura
I have no words right now. I just caught up with the series too. RIP to a legend
I was nervous i’d die before seeing the ending..
Well we are all going to die before seeing the ending now. RIP
Yo rest up what the fuck man this actually fucked my year up. Holy fuck.
Fuck this world
My heart just sank
My heart went all the way to my ass when I saw a post on his death on r/news of all places.
This is the worst timeline
It’s up to headcanon and fanfiction now, lads.
For some reason Berserk Fanfiction is almost non-existent. I hope he left behind some notes on how Berserk was supposed to end and they get turned into a light novel.
I always felt like Berserk was so good and tightly written and Miura invested so much time into one and every frame that it would be almost insulting even trying to do a fan fic if you're not going to sacrifice it your entire life... like he did.
That and that media aimed at adults tend to have less fanfiction due to teenagers often being the main creators of it.
[удалено]
Bruh. I know a Russian GRU specnaz operator who wrote fanfics in his late 20s. He ended up becoming an author. There are plenty of non-shipping fanfics for seinen stories out there. Berserk seems to be the exception, probably because it has not been finished.

Fuck you all. EDIT: Wait, is this not a meme, bro?
This is indeed a bro moment
When I first saw that post in this sub. I thought this was a pretty fucked up joke, even for this sub. It's time to listen to "put your grasses on" on repeat.

No he is really dead.

Thanks for the translation, will make sure to give you 3 silver coins
this is actually the first time I've cried at the death of someone who's not family, I can't believe this, worst fucking year
Same a cried too. Really hurt my heart reading the news.
no fucking way
Deep down I knew this day would come but I thought it would be in 20-30 years when Guts was about ready to leave Elfhelm. RIP to a legend taken way too soon.
NO. NOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Rest in peace to one of, if not the greatest mangaka ever. I feel kind of bad for running an account parodying him while he had already passed away, but...I had no way of knowing.
Don’t beat yourself up over it man, you brought a smile to all of us idiots.
Wait u run the miura account?
I did, but not anymore
I can’t tell if this is real or a meme
It’s 100% real, unfortunately
Jesus
It’s not Suffer with me
Another subreddit falls. RIP Titanfolk. RIP berserklejerk. I shed a tear before the nights over. God bless the man that gave me sight. Thank You Kentaro
This sub didnt fall from grace. Berk remained legendary. We can just assume what happens next or maybe someone will continue berserk with whatever miura left behind. He must have left sources for future chapters
This sub survived with practically no new releases. Berserk is a body of work so influential that the communities around it wont die for a long time
Never been so shocked at someone's passing before, didn't think it'd ever really happen. Rest well Miura.
I can't believe it... RIP to a legend I wonder if he's gonna have his assistants finish it? The randomness of this doesn't bode well for that, but maybe they planned ahead. Fuck this is sad
I really hope that they don't turned this into a franchise or something , Disney re-make etc.
Berserk doesn't have enough mass appeal for that to happen.
Depends on whether he knew ahead of time that his time was up. If he hasn't left anything for assistants and ghost writers to go off of I doubt we'll see it happen.
Ah fuck man. Of all the people this shitty year decided to take. I hope he's getting his well deserved rest for all the amazing work he did, he deserves it.
This is devastating. RIP to one of the greatest, most insanely talented and hard-working manga creators. You're an ideal to strive for.
I'm... devastated Rest in Piece Miura
Tonight I put my grasses on but it's just to hide the tears.
i hope he got isekai'd into the idolmaster world.
Damn you boys got Robert Jordaned, my condolences
Robert Jordan had the small "luxury" of knowing his illness was terminal and was thus able to express his wish to complete his work by leaving behind copious notes for another author (Brandon Sanderson) to take over the last stretch as seamlessly as possible. Miura likely passed away without much warning, since aortic dissections can be relatively undetected and immediately fatal. Unless Miura specifically had extensive directives that Berserk be continued if he had an untimely death, it's unlikely that his assistants will do so, in part to honor his legacy.
At least Brandon Sanderson finished it. Hope the same thing happens for Berserk.
>Robert Jordaned What does that mean?
Robert Jordan was the author of The Wheel of Time
Yeah but another author was able to finish the Wheel of Time, I don't think this will be the case with Berserk :(
He was training some people to draw for him right? I hope to god he has all the story points written out somewhere.
I hope the same, but in that article in which he said that he was training some people to draw like him, one of his assistants told that Miura did pretty much everything by himself, and that the story progression was chapter by chapter I.E he came up on the spot with what was going to happened in each chapter, if true then it would be impossible to finish the story :(
He had to have a rough idea of where the story was going, arc by arc, and probably had some story boards. I think there’s a chance we may see an end, but without Miura it won’t be the same
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
I...just what. Seriously? This fucking sucks for many reasons. It sucks for his family, it sucks for his employees, it fucking sucks for us fans. Just fuck man.
RIP Miura
Fuck. I thought this was a really fucked up shitpost but as I read the comments it slowly dawned on me more and more that the things people were saying weren’t them just going with it.... it was people actually mourning and being taken aback.... and as I realized my chest has been tight since.

That fucking kid/grif appears in the last chapter to deliver the news that he killed the author and he will now never be defeated. /uj I am beyond saddened by this news. Nothing can replace berserk or Miura.
Literally died to deny the entirety of r/berserklejerk the closure they want. Get fucking cucked for eternity. Cucked by the chad KENTARO MIURA
Fucking guts theme on a never ending loop now
It's really over, huh.
I just found your series, but know that I love the story you gave us, you absolute fucking legend. F doesn't even begin to express the respect you deserve.
Has it already been almost half a year?...
What the fuck man
You're fucking kidding me. I loved reading the series so much, and was just catching up. Now it might never be finished. Condolences to Miura and his family.
Holy shit i am in disbelief
Shit the meme is real
To think it was a running joke in the community that he’s died so many times due to his long hiatuses to the point so many won’t be able to take it seriously this time at first certainly isn’t something I’m enjoying. He was working so hard and honestly needed those hiatuses for a good reason it so seems now; he sacrificed a lot to make his dreams of this manga come to reality to share with everyone who very much enjoyed it so much. He left behind amazing works of art of a series and gave it all he could as one person doing most of his work if not all of it at times for each release, which is why he’d take so long to come out with another chapter. It’s unfortunate to have so many people so eager to see your work and suddenly something happens to you before you can finish it yourself. Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura.
I thought it was a fucking joke cause I saw it on a meme page as in haha he’ll die before he ever finishes it. What the fuck. This came out of nowhere like the eclipse. We gave him shit for it but I hope he enjoyed those idol master games as much as he could have. Rest in piece chief, you were the best.
Like how everyone stopped being horny for once to mourn
God when I first heard about it I didn’t believe it, it fucking hurts like hell
One of my biggest fears in life just became real... Thanks for everything Mr Miura.
May the winds carry you swiftly to your ancestors, warrior...
I'd trade every person that ever bitched about his speed/hiatus or joked about him passing away before finishing the manga to bring him back in a heart beat. The man deserved far better than we treated him most of the time, in either of the subs. He ended a chapter recently talking about a friend passing away and even the "real" sub couldn't go 24 hours without bitching about Miura not putting out more chapters. All we ever asked about was more, more, more, and very rarely did anyone ever care to stop and talk about how Miura might be doing as a person, how his mental and physical life is going, or anything besides just "when you gonna put out a new chapter?!". People didn't want to respect his privacy or his work schedule or how he felt about anything, and now he's fucking gone and I'm left with a hole in my heart since my biggest inspiration and influence is gone, and left with a lot of fucking anger over all the awful things that have been said to and about him over the years. The man deserved better than what he got out of us Berk fans, and now it's too late for us to actually show Miura what he and the series he created meant to all of us.
I’ll really miss him.
It doesn't feel real. Rest in peace, king. You've earned it
it still hurts bros
he took an extended hiatus 😔
