Ha. That's great.
It reminds me of last summer when I was in Korea, we had a little Walter Benjamin reading group of three (two grads, one undergrad). Both of us grads were kind of into Berserk, and had a bunch of conversations about the series; the undergrad wasn't into manga at all.

Then one day she comes to us and goes "so I read Berserk" and we're both WAIT WHAT?
And she goes yeah, since both of you kept talking about it I got curious...
Mind you, this is a sweet girl who likes fluffy slice-of-life and romance. And somehow her first (maybe only?) manga ended up being Berserk...

I've never heard of Berserk, but it doesn't sound like fluffy romance or slice-of-life, that's for sure! That's pretty funny, that she just said that out of the blue.

Berserk is grotesque, slightly horror, and much more violent, rapey, and has a higher bodycount than Game of Thrones
....yeah

Well, yes, in part because new characters get introduced. Like, there's this whole arc where you get to know a mercenary band - and then every single one of them (but 3) are killed horribly. You have giant monsters literally curbstomping entire armies. Scenes with tens of children killed at once. Hundreds of women forcibly impregnated with monsters that then kill them.
Seriously, I was shocked that this girl didn't quit early on XD I have no idea how I read this thing, tbh.
This is a series that needs all the trigger warnings
