12 is going to be great but what I want and everybody wants in america is volume 13!!! if they havent read anything past the FEAST, that is.....But anyways I cant wait to get my hands on vol 13!! oh I think I just filled the cup!
 
According to the Dark horse site 12 comes out in july and 13 comes out in September. Does this mean they moved to bi-monthly? Damn that would be nice

also it seems this is how they are handling number 13. sticker will be on the outside wrapping im sure. no censoring ^_^

Yes. Chris Warner had announced they would do that here a while ago. We also already knew for the sticker on volume 13's cover:

Its been confirmed on the Dark Horse message boards that Volume 13 cover art will not be altered. To maintain censorship, though, they will be placing a sticker over the offending area.

After the shift to bi-monthly, Vol 16 may even be out by Christmas.

how come? i'm confused a bit
My bad, I miscalculated. Funkmasta was right, at the bi-monthly rate, Vol 14 should be out sometime in November.

Um the DH website for vol 13 says 244 pages, and with that number do you guys know if they will include the Lost Episode 83??

Most likely not, because Miura removed it from the Japanese Vol. 13. I highly doubt they'd put it back in for the U.S. release.

The original volume is 240 pages without that episode. Add 4 pages of advertisement and you have your DH count. It'd need to be around 260 to include the lost episode. Besides, since no edition of Berserk in the whole world features it, it'd be quite a feat for DH to forcefully include it in their release. They aren't even allowed to name Skull Knight the proper way so that's a really long shot.

That's awesome that Dark Horse has kicked things up to the bi-monthly rate, I still can't wait for volume twelve to come out even though I've already read all of the current Japanese installments.  Gotta love reliving those times in the story.

Does anyone have the original or know if they've been changing their translation techniques? I noticed a few things in the manga mostly said by Wyald, perhaps that’s just how he spoke and that made him him. I was just curious I'm not 100% sure and I don’t have the time right now to go looking but I think I remember cursing in the other books. In #11 the closest they came was 'frigging' I found that odd. Just me or did they change it? Thanks. Long time visitor first time poster.

Um....
I reread it recently enough and I remember plenty of "hells" some "damns","bastards", and even a "prick".

Wow, you guys really have some weird censorship in the US :isidro:

That isn't censorship, it's just a matter of interpretation. Ruder words aren't necessarily more proper, in fact it's often the opposite.

It's in the original version. It's a joke from Miura, like a lot of what Wyald says.

I don't think that they should use the most offensive words possible, they should just keep what's said in the original version. There are enough mangas that get destroyed by a totally wrong translation.
But actually I was refering to that sticker, I mean it's just a naked woman, how can someone be offended by that. ;)

Yeah, and that's what they're doing, or at least trying to do.

Oh, the sticker (you should have quoted it :SK:)? Well it's a puritan country. As long as it's just a sticker I don't think anybody should mind.

Yeah, a puritan country with the world's biggest porn industry. But let's stop that here, I don't want to start a discussion on that topic, at least not in this thread. :guts:

And yes, the sticker is always better than if they had redrawn it.
