Manga artist Kentaro Miura is best known for two things: his Berserk manga and taking breaks from said Berserk manga.




Earlier this year, Miura returned from hiatus in March. This break began last September. That was after Berserk had returned that June from yet another hiatus.


Recently, it was announced that Berserk will go on hiatus yet again, with the latest break ending this winter.

As frequent as Miura’s breaks are, he’s still no match for Hunter X Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi, aka “The King of Hiatus.”
