Quentin Boëton is totally and desperatly in awe of Berserk and it shows. So this book is not so much a critical review than an apology of Miura’s opus magnum.
That being said this evident labor of love is very pleasant to read and thoroughly drills into the series in 4 main themes: characters and their relations, the world of Berserk, the cosmogony of Berserk, Miura’s art and imagination.
The author obviously worked hard on this book and he readily conveys his fascination through researched themes from Dante’s Inferno to Milton’s Paradise lost, Gustave Doré or Francisco Goya.
If I somewhat regretted a lack of objectivity in the analysis- Boetön is a clearly too infatuated with Miura and the multiple praises are a bit tiring sometimes- I must say I found his enthusiasm contagious and he motivated me to try the series. Considering I’ve never been truly attracted despite having flipped through it on various occasions over the years I guess the 4* rating is well deserved.

Lassant au bout d'un moment, répétitif

Intéressant mais assez similaire à la vidéo du même auteur, je dois avouer une certaine lassitude donc... Couverture exceptionnelle ceci dit.
