You don't know that. He could get royalties for each sale for all we know.avidwriter said:Two things. I dont think Miura gets anything from US sales but I might be wrong.
Minus about 3-4 pages, Berserk episodes are just as long as a normal, American comic book. The problem you'd run into is that I don't know of any other U.S.-distributed manga that's published them episodically (individually marketed, not packed in with a bunch of other shit). There's probably a reason why, and Im just guessing here, but it could be because the contract wouldn't be worth it for either party, since the releases are so infrequent.Also Dark Horse wouldn't make much profit printing them as comic books, they are mostly too short and with gaps of three or more months it wouldn't make much sense.
