How Berserk Changed After Miura's Death

This page from one of the recent Berserk chapters, published after Miura’s death, is the kind that makes me wonder whether Miura would have illustrated it, or rather structured it, in the same way. A praise, followed immediately by its effect. It doesn't value the slight motions upon hearing the words, processing them, until she arrives finally at the happy blush. Merely a singular depiction of happiness. Merely a documentary of the moment rather than the moment itself. Stripped down to its essence, what it means for the future of the character, rather than a love for the moment. Although it continues to be very good, since Miura’s death, Berserk feels a little like a very detailed and exhaustive plot summary, rather than the story itself.

But well, as a friend of mine commented, “"finishing the story" is worth it in its own right”
