Kentaro Miura and Studio Gaga's "Dur-an-ki" will be available in English for the first time!


Berserk fans have long known the power of legendary mangaka and creator Kentaro Miura. Dark Horse Manga now presents the English publication of one of Miura’s original ideas presented by Studio Gaga, Dur-an-ki. The standalone volume will contain six complete chapters of the original manga produced by Miura-sensei with art by Studio Gaga, and will arrive at bookstores and comic shops in September 2025.

Dur-an-ki is an original fantasy tale inspired by Greek and Mesopotamian myths, produced by Kentaro Miura, illustrated by Studio Gaga, translated by Duane Johnson, and lettered by Studio Cutie.

In ancient times, a wondrous child was born of the gods. Neither human nor god, neither male nor female, Usumgal has an inventive mind that can create solutions where they are needed most. Descending from the holy mountain, Usumgal finds friends among humans, and with each fateful encounter comes adventure and, perhaps, their destiny!

Included in this English edition are extensive bonus materials showcasing Miura’s creative process including the original story outline, concept illustrations, and more.

Dur-an-ki arrives in paperback (256 pages, 5.125” x 7.25”) at bookstores and comic shops on September 16, 2025. Pre-order now for $14.99 from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.
