Check out some of the info on skullknight.net; It says Miura has enough material for roughly 100 + Volumes, am I right? Hey, if that's the case, bring it on. If he does plan on keeping the series going for that long, I sure as hell hope he's got some tricks up his sleeve to keep Guts from getting all f***ed up by the Berserk Armor. With any luck, he'll realize it's pretty much trashing his body and if he hopes to be around long enough to kick Griffith's ass, he'd better dump it.
Berserk nearly over? Or only halfway done?

Well, potentially, 100 volumes are possible. There's a lot to cover and the story could be developed in many ways. But in reality it's unlikely that Berserk will last that long. It's already been going for almost 20 years, so we'd be looking at about 40 more years of publication. Personally I'll be more than satisfied if we reach 70 volumes.

I always wonder if maybe he will keep the story going after Guts. I don't want him to, but I could see a ten to twenty percent chance that eventually a side character could take up as the main character. It would really be a stretch, but if his main inspiration is the Guin Saga then it doesn't seem completely out of the question. I don't think he will though. It would be hard to read with Guts permanently taken out of the story.

I don't think it will happen, or at least not to a big extent. I could see it as an epilogue of some sorts, but nothing more. And I don't see how the fact Guin Saga inspired him to create Berserk makes it more likely. First off, because Guin Saga has well over 100 volumes doesn't mean Berserk will have as many. Second, Guin is in fact still the protagonist of Guin Saga.
I'd put my money on berserk ending somewhere between 55 volumes - 65 volumes. And just out of curiosity, what is studio gaga? Are they Miuras assistants, if he has any?
Considering the length of the overall life span of Berserk expands with each new character introduced. We maybe in for a long walk with the series. On top of that, Miura tends to end storylines more traditionally. Not forgetting to leave a outro to any highly supportive characters. Point being, is Miura starts and ends his storyline branches very well. With every new character/situation, there can be expected "lifespan" expansion.
At this point, there are characters that are very important that showing up very rarely. Giving less logical reason to even suspect a overall climax to the series. Simply from seeing common factors in the style and writing of Miura Berserk could easily be expected to eventually reach 100 volumes.
I will say with the rate of which episodes being released, which determines how long it will take for a full volume to be released. I can say, yes, of course everyone is in for a long wait.
