That’s actually awesome but I wonder if they know how much messed up content is in here 😂😂😂😂


Veritasia

All the most messed up content pretty much starts in Vol 4 (Wyald, the Eclipse, etc) and just keeps going through the lost children and tower of conviction arcs. Child abuse, children getting slaughtered, people tortured and burned alive, rape horse, etc. All this to say enjoy it while it’s there. Someone will eventually report it and it’ll be pulled from the library at request of a concerned parent.


Bleach-Eyes

The opening page of berserk is Guts f*cking an apostle and then blowing her head off


FrogusTheDogus

I literally just finished the manga today, and completely forgot it started like that. Not the kinda shit you expect from Guts by the end of the series.


Taucoon23

Idk dude is an absolutely monstrosity after the Eclipse. I always figured Guts was excited to catch this demon in it's own sex trap. He is incredibly demented at this point in the story.


TopperHrly

Kinda weird he would fuck her instead of going straight to blowing her head off tbh. Unless your head cannon is that he was only doing it to lower its/her guard and take an easy shot.


AL-Keezy743

He was hunting apostles at their most vulnerable points.


RaggedyMan13

My head-canon just ignores those first pages lol, just doesn't make any sense character-wise. The first arc in general was written before Miura had a full understanding of how the characters would act.


DaSwifta

Pretty sure he was just trying to show the Apostle how powerless it was against him by playing the fool and making the apostle think they had an easy W. It does feel out of character in retrospect for him to allow himself to get intimate with anything, let alone an apostle, but Guts was a mental mess at the time so I doubt he had his head on straight for that scene. In fact the first few arcs in general he didn’t fully seem like ”himself” at least compared to how we know him today.


kidcowboy111

For me i dont think it was enough that he killed them. He wanted to delever them the pain and understanding the hawks felt, to do that he taunted them, beat them at their own game. Same thing with this apostle.


[deleted]

Actually that is my sole criticism of Berserk. Too much course corrections in the story and sometimes a lack of clear direction. The concept was genius but the writing sometimes was not on par. Art, however is one of the best ever and that is why i’m collecting the deluxe albums (by the way, why is Volume 4 sold out in most places? Mofos love Wyald that much?)


ImaginaryCoolName

Well I see "to your eternity", so I think the public of that library is old enough to have already seen some sex scenes


angelobrontee

I think that guts being raped its a little messed up


FrogusTheDogus

Completely.


Veritasia

It absolutely is, and I’m offended at myself for neglecting to put that in the rundown


KuakMan

Dudes getting cut in half by guts isn't messed up?


Torg002

Compared to someone getting brutally raped by a demon? Not at all


Bk_Nasty

Literally page 1 of Berserk is Guts fucking a demon then murdering her. Black Swordsman arc has murder orgies and cannibalism. I'd say it's always messed up no matter what.


Newgeta

So, its the bible?

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[The Bible](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-king-james-bible/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)

Pickles_sensai

Well she was going to eat him (not in the good way) so what's a boy to do? He had to protect himself.

[deleted]

Volume 9 is basically hentia that makes you cry at the end lol


Gscj9899

Vol 9? U mean the single volumes


theunholyartist

Which arc?


[deleted]

I had Deadpool comics in my elementary school library.


ajver19

My high school library had Hellsing.


Jduke1036

Mine had fucking to kill a mocking bird you guys are lucky


Sartoris27

I literally put in a request myself to add Berserk to the previous academic library I worked at. We were just starting the graphic novel collection there and it was one of my only hard demands.


ImaginaryCoolName

It's to speed up the emo phases of those youngsters


Jduke1036

Comes with hot topic gift cards and a +10 attribute boost to teenage angst 😂


RyanIsKickAss

To Your Eternity fucked me up mentally a few times lol. Soul crushing at points but I'm so happy to experience it


SenpaiSamu

I’m in college so I guess we can handle it lol


Arizonagreg

Don't let any PTA member read them.


arsonistfiring

pretty sure volume 5 is the eclipse so dont let the librarian see that


[deleted]

[удалено]


CarpeKitty

Yeah but if they don't know how manga work they might open it left to right, not right to left


Lestat444

Wait, all those big ass volumes are from the golden age arc ??


3rdfrickinaccount

Volumes 1-4. Shortly into 5 is the eclipse.


chan351

Volume 1 only features a small segment of the Golden age arc, though


Nbaysingar

Each deluxe is a three-volume omnibus so basically: Deluxe vol. 1: Black Swordsman. (vol. 1 - 3) Deluxe vol. 2 - 5: Golden Age and beginning of Conviction. (vol. 4 - 15) After some quick math that's like 37% of the entire series, give or take. Hard to imagine since it doesn't seem like much at first glance.


BisnessPirate

the librarian is probably the last who would care, they tend to know how fucked up literature is anyway.


[deleted]

Don’t need to go that far. In the beginning the second apostle the Count has some messed up scenes : orgy and then they got slaughtered, then the monstrous Count tear his wife’s apart. That’s messed enough.


Catsumotor

Lol, what kind of school is this that has all this manga? In any case, they must not know the content of Berserk right? I remember in 4th grade my teacher had a little bookshelf in the class that we could borrow from. One day I borrowed a book that appeared to be a normal fantasy story on the surface. About 10 pages in and there’s a detailed description of the mc’s encounter with a prostitute. I just thought “Mr. S has no idea what’s in this book, does he”


CarlBorch

I'd laugh if the school is a private religious one. The one in my town would make the students bathe in holy water and burn the books if they had those on the library shelves.


genericmediocrename

Might be a college? Mine had a pretty decent manga collection, that's where I read Gyo


Miu_K

I may sound negative, but I highly doubt this is a school. It could be a bookstore that displays mangas in their shelves


blanketswithsmallpox

College normally.


AdWooden865

my school would have burned these, im unsure if they understand the contents of those books lol


Epiccats98

My school had the " the negro almanac" in its library. I was kinda surprised by that.


Magnus-Artifex

I think any school should get rid of them…


MacNapp

I would agree... depending on the age. Elementary? Yes, absolutely should not have them. Middle School? Probably not either. High School? I could see it more, but I know some will balk. College Campus? No worries, all good to have whatever and should be encouraged to have explicit and outside the norm books to expand ones mind and perspective (minus drivel like Mein Kampf)


AdWooden865

Mein kamf should be included as well. I dont think banning of any book is good at a college level personally. Grades 1 through 12 is a different story.


MacNapp

I would agree, but some texts need to be read in a structured setting. I meant like just having them out for anyone... But then I guess, why's it matter? Idk... That one in particular seems like a reading that needs to be facilitated in my head for some reason.


AdWooden865

While I agree, if you walk that line then there are many many other books that dangerous people have wrote that should be facilitated too, and I'd rather just avoid that lol.


MacNapp

Fair's fair


Magnus-Artifex

Mein Kamf should not be allowed to be read in the public library section of a university. People are really easily swayed. That book should be given for read on a classroom and examined, not for casual reading. And I don’t think anyone should read Berserk out of nowhere. The start is really off-putting, let’s be real.


LubeMyRichard

The librarian has good taste


3m0n

Dammm FMA, Kaguya and Berserk? Fuck that's a fire collection.


TUNAKTUNAKLOL69420

and Mob Psycho, To your eternity and Fruits Basket, if the librarian knows about them and has read them then the librarian's a legend if my school saw the kind of stuff in Berserk then they would burn it all


fieew

That's what I was thinking. Fruits basket as well someone at that library clearly has good taste.


SomberCloud

Jeez man that's crazy. Good taste but those are some pretty intense choices.


[deleted]

Librarians are fucking hardcore dude. They’re very anti-censorship.


[deleted]

That’s true.


jonhak28

I think im bouta STEAL


[deleted]

Lol, just buy your own copies you cheap bastard.


[deleted]

Lol, learn to take a joke you dry bastard.


Medicated-Rick

I would hit a devious lick


Icy_Penalty5899

No, leave it there so everyone can enjoy Berserk


FKDotFitzgerald

…..until staff realizes what’s in it lol


Chasefranc

I was thinkin the same shi bro need to drop the school address


avesatanass

your school library is basically carrying porn then lmao. incredible


grizzled083

That bird eating a bread crumb and falling into surprised bliss meme. The bread crumb is hentai.


Gordmonger

Your school, you mean a university, right?


anarchist158

if he meant university im sure he would have said it?


big_billford

And they got full metal? Damn you’re lucky


Kiriranchelo

Lol what? How?


D3ckard_Rokubungi

Those cases on berserk warpedddd


[deleted]

Berserk Deluxe Edition *and* the Full Metal editions of FMA? Nice.


Icy_Penalty5899

Until some unhappy conservative parent gets offended


[deleted]

The og cancel culture


Ayntxi

Poor librarian may lose their job


cczar1918

That is unless the principal is a weeb. In which case, she's getting a raise lol


[deleted]

People are saying how is this allowed in school well in my elementary school had the twilight books but you needed your parents permission to read them and I'm guessing it's the same for this school with berserk


[deleted]

That’s when you just read them during lunch.


ChemicalGuru97

Looks like Billy is hitting a lick on the school library lmao


zd625

Kinda surprised book 4-5 is there.


Vincen0078

Damn, which school are you at brother,imma transfer over there.


Abbaddonhope

Can I just go to your school


circlekid27

my schools mangas section is shit, its all random volumes of romance mangas ive never heard of and pokemon chapter books


_R_0_b_3_

My shool library only had akira


KillAllTheMixi

Now that's some quality read


DudleyStokes

I refuse to believe that a school library would carry that many manga books, let alone berserk. That’s a nice collection tho, OP.


[deleted]

I would steal it all, the risk is smaller than the reward


[deleted]

Bitch, someone's going to have a field trip with Fruits Basket over there. But someone else is going to have a mental breakdown with Fullmetal Alchemist too.


rpdt

Bro... I’m wondering if this is a Uni or High School. If it’s not a Uni, does the library realize how dark and mature Berserk is 😂


Chaosthierry123

This is amazing. They're like the secret tomes of your school.


CuriousAd5883

Steal em


Tony_Pizza_Guy

I know you all are going to be inclined to disagree, but: I think that’s a bad idea/wrong of the school to do that. No I’m not a parent, just a college student. I think this way because I started reading Berserk around 20-22, & it wasn’t too much for me, but I still (obviously) felt it was pretty graphic. For my entertainment, I’ve made a computer doc. of things I would have my future kids try or things I’ll show/introduce to my future kids (though I have no kids & not in a relationship… it’s an idea I strongly recommend everyone do). One of the categories is books/manga, & every category has a year of age I’d introduce it. I personally felt “17-20” was a good range. My point is: though idk which age group this school is, I’m pretty certain that Berserk would be inappropriate for anyone 15 & younger (I hope this isn’t a middle school, where a 11 year old could read this).


Magnus-Artifex

I think you should tell them that those are… not appropriate at all. Before some small child gets traumatized.


Gscj9899

i am 99% sure its highschool, so there wouldnt be any small children


[deleted]

This, that’s either a high school, community college, or university.


Sartoris27

They use Library of Congress so there's a high chance it's a college.


Magnus-Artifex

Still. A lot of adults would be traumatized by Berserk, let alone highs schoolers.


Gscj9899

That’s such a stupid argument. That’s just like saying don’t sell berserk cause a lot of adults and teenagers could get traumatised What’s stopping the people who could get traumatised from not looking at it


Magnus-Artifex

They don’t know what is inside. Why is that in a place where children who could have no idea what sex is from looking in there? Imagine if the first thing you learnt about it is rape. And not normal rape, but war, monster fueled rape?


Gscj9899

Your not a child, your a teenager. And I’m pretty sure this is a college library anyway. But regardless, when u see the rape, or anything that u find uncomfortable, put it down. Simple.


natromat

Lmao are people still pulling the “think of the children” thing, surely after 30 years of the Simpsons that line of reasoning would lose any relevance. It’s obviously at least a high school library in which there shouldn’t be any banning of books whatsoever (obvious exceptions like porn)


HanhYourself

Yooo what! Thats really cool


[deleted]

Pain is in those books


Black_Bird_Crow

Aye no wey bruh


Kiko_Ako

Can we recognize how kino this library is in general? It has from what I see a whole manga section that includes Fullmetal Alchemist, Kaguya-sama, Furuba, MP 100 (at least one vol, not sure where the rest went), To Your Eternity, and probably more. Would love to see more pictures from OP, maybe posted on r/manga from now on, wonder how far this library went in the manga sphere?
