Berserk, Vol. 19 by Kentaro Miura
4.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

We really get to know some of the newer characters. It's amazing how well characterised they are in so little time.
They are so believable. I understand their motivations and yet there is still mystery to them. The sort of mystery that lets you trust there's something there, and not that the writer just needs them to serve a purpose. Every character in the story is there because it makes sense for them to be there, acting on their motivations, goals, and fears.
It's excellent story telling.
