The series went on hiatus after its creator Kentaro Miura died last year, but the series’ editorial team is ready to carry out the artist’s final vision with some help. As you can imagine, fans all over the world are anxiously awaiting Berserk‘s continuation, and one artist is going viral after honoring Guts with a JoJo-centric makeover.
