And its sequel series, Kento Shitouden Cestvs. Manga about a slave boxer in the times of Emperor Nero, published by young animal, I've even read that the author and Miura went to highschool together. Don't know how true that is, but it doesn't seem totally unlikely. Anyone read or heard of it? It's a historical/seinen/martial arts manga.
Been a lurker on this site for many years and haven't seen any posts about it. I wasn't even aware of it until spring 2018. I really like it a lot. If you like martial arts series in the vein of Hajime No Ippo, Ashita No Joe, even Baki (though it's not as over the top and fairly realistic in comparison), but also historical/seinen series like Vinland Saga or Historie, you'd probably enjoy it.
I'm refraining from comparing it to berserk because they're not much alike, other than they both have a pretty amazing art style, and the fact that it's currently on hiatus (ouch). It's not quite as emotionally deep or as dark as berserk but it's still pretty deep in its own right.
Something to temporarily fill the emptiness in your soul left by berserk, only to for the abyss to expand once you're current. Masochistic? Maybe a little, but the life of a struggler is pain after all. There's 247 chapters out, so there's a good bit of it to go through.
Anyway just thought I'd share this, figured a few of you out there might like it. Thanks for reading.
