Be careful to not confuse this work with the similarly named classic arcade game ''VideoGame/{{Berzerk}}'' or with the 1967 B-horror movie ''Film/Berserk1967''.

In serialization since 1989, ''Berserk'' advertises itself as the "Number 1 Fantasy Comic" in Japan, and stands as the author's ''Magnum Opus''. Miura incorporates story and visual elements from many different media into his epic manga, which was mainly inspired by Kaoru Kurimoto's ambitious and long-running ''Literature/GuinSaga'' fantasy series. He loved the classics of the [[ShonenDemographic shounen genre]] including Buronson's ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', as well as two of the darkest and most violent works of Creator/GoNagai, ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' and ''Manga/ViolenceJack''. At the same time, he appreciated manga written for the ShoujoDemographic and their focus on character drama, and has called ''Berserk'' the result of his attempt to fuse the worlds of ''Fist of the North Star'' and ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''. The latter is especially evident in his depiction of love and political intrigue in the court of Midland, and in the complicated triangular relationship between Guts, Griffith, and Casca. Miura was also a student of TheMiddleAges and drew images from that period. Lastly, Miura acknowledges the influence of action, horror, [[ScienceFiction SciFi]], and fantasy films from Hollywood and from some of his favorite literature in creating the look and feel of the series. His creation broke new ground because of the unique way that he combined and developed upon these influences, and ''Berserk'' has been successful enough to leave its mark on a new generation of storytellers.
