First medium of exposure to Berserk

For a few months my friend was insisting I read Berserk. After a while I asked: "Do they make nice Berserk figures?"

Art of War was the final straw that forced me to read Berserk

I'm glad to say that the manga was my first exposure to the story!

The Dreamcast game. A friend of mine had bought the Japanese version since he was very into the manga and told me to play the game. It was weird since he let me play the game even before he did! Even though he was such a big fan back then. Then he insisted I read the manga and I've been hooked up since. It's such a shame since he's not with us anymore.
