Am I the only one that got excited when I read "Release the demons!" ?

Berserk 298 - RAW

Berserk 298 coverThanks to the many folks posting links to Berserk Chapter 298 raw.  Looks like our community guess at the release date was none too accurate.  This also means, I'll be announcing our contest #3 winner soon.

Thanks again for all the tips, anyone spotting a release let us know.  I like to follow and post any group doing Berserk releases.

Contest #3 - Win something Berserk!

Since everyone wants to know and everyone is speculating what Berserk mangaka Miura is up to; I'm putting the question on you.  To win this contest you must simply email the release date of Berserk chapter 298.  Until we find out the real release date I will be posting the average guessed date for release and be using that as "The BlackSwordsman Community Release Date Guess for Berserk 298" (that's a real mouth full).

You will win something Berserk, something awesome, and totally undecided.  :)  Full details after the jump.

According to contest entries: Next chapter will appear on Nov 6, 2008

Dark Horse updates Berserk pricing for next year

Based on a tip from a commenter (thanks grapeofdeath) that Dark Horse pricing for Berserk would be going up $5/volume starting next year with Volume 27, I decided to do some inquiring.  As it turns out the Dark Horse website simply had a typo, they've since corrected their site, and it does not appear that there will be a price change in the near future for Berserk.  I'd say it's a good thing the price doesn't go up since new readers may not be too excited about picking this up when comparing price to many of the other items on the manga shelves.

What do you think? $13.95 too low, too high, just right?  Is there a price where you would absolutely stop buying Berserk legitimately?

Berserk Volume 23

Finally adding a review of this volume thanks to a forum regular - Verses. You might remember him for winning this volume a little while ago for his excellent work on a new header for the site (scroll up).

Full volume description and review.

Contest Updates and Finalists

A winner has been selected for Contest #1, please check your email! I would like to announce the winner, but I will hang out a few days to get ahold of the winner, Congratulations random person!

As for the second contest there were some excellent entries! These obviously took a lot of work, so I want them to be recognized for their effort first and foremost. Then I'd like the Berserk community to get to choose the victor, so there will be a vote held in the forum... link below.

Visit the voting booth in the forum!

Contest Reminders

This is a reminder that tonight is the cut-off for contest entries (specifically Contest #1 and Contest #2).  Any entry that makes my inbox before I return from work tomorrow is fair game.  That means you have approximately 24 hours.  Entry for Contest #1 is simple and should not take any time at all if you've read some Berserk.  As for the second contest, this could take longer, but there have been relatively few entries, which means your chance of winning are not bad!

Good luck!

Contest! - Win Berserk Vol 23

Our second contest... which happens to run alongside our first will earn you a brand new Berserk Vol 23. Much like the first contest, if you win, I will ship it to you wherever you are. Entering this contest is not going to be as easy as the first one, at least in my mind. For this contest you'll need to get creative!
