Saw this on Twitter and It broke my heart. Kentaro Miura was a hero of mine who inspired alot of my art and writing and I don't think i'd be the same person if I hadn't experienced his work In Berserk. As someone who suffers from depression and *had* thoughts of suicide the message in Berserk of keep struggling for the good things in life and for others really changed my whole world view and I'd say its something that saved my life. His death hits hard and I don't think ill really ever get over it.

Damnit, we will never see the ending of berserk then... Casca has even gotten her sanity back.. it's hardbreaking that he died without finishing that masterpiece. God I loved his work. Miura was indeed a legend

Heard about it at work last night and was genuinely upset for the rest of my shift. Really sucks he had to go, especially considering how young he was. Berserk was also a really big part of my life and I'm sad that now it'll never be finished, at least not by Miura.
