No. This is an art book — the value is in Miura's illustrations, not text. Most of our international customers don't read Japanese and love the book exactly as it is.

We currently ship the softcover edition. It contains the same full-color artwork, the same page count, the same print quality, and the same premium paper as the hardcover edition — the only difference is the cover binding.

The hardcover edition is currently sold out at our supplier and is on restock with a 4–6 week lead time. Rather than make customers wait, we ship the softcover immediately so you can enjoy the collection now.

No. Both editions are produced by the same Japanese publisher with identical interior pages, identical print quality, and identical artwork reproduction. Many serious Berserk collectors actually prefer the softcover because it's lighter, easier to handle, and lays flat when reading — which matters with full-spread illustrations.

For most destinations (US, UK, EU, Australia), shipping costs and customs are handled at our end. Some countries may apply local VAT on import — we'll flag this at checkout if it applies to you.

Yes. Every order ships brand new and sealed in original Japanese publisher packaging.

Every order is shipped insured. If your book arrives damaged in transit, send us a photo within 7 days and we'll replace it free of charge.

Estimated 4–6 weeks. If you specifically want the hardcover, you can email us and we'll notify you when it returns. But honestly — if you want the book, the softcover is the same artwork in your hands within 2 weeks instead of 8.
