Berserk, Vol. 43

An empire prepares for war against Griffith, yet they hold his sworn adversary, Guts, prisoner. Worse, Guts is a prisoner within himself, lost in his own darkness after escaping Elf Island. As the crew of the Seahorse finds themselves in the territorial waters of the vast Kushan Empire, Guts' companions are left to navigate dangerous political councils and murderous sorcery without his help. Can they survive the escalating conflict, or is Guts' inner turmoil a greater threat?
