The new Ichiban Kuji for the manga series “Berserk” is celebrating its 35th anniversary. It will be available at Lawson, bookstores, hobby shops, some game centers, Ichiban Kuji official shops, Ichiban Kuji ONLINE, and more from September 14th.
Berserk is a dark fantasy by Kentaro Miura that began serialization in Monthly Animal House in 1989 and then moved to Young Animal. Set in a world of swords, magic, and monsters, it depicts the hero Guts’s heroic life. With a profound story, fascinating characters, overwhelming and detailed drawings, and unrivaled creativity, it has captivated readers not only in Japan but also around the world. It has been translated into a
total of 20 countries and regions overseas, and the total number of copies of the series published worldwide, including both paper and electronic versions, is 60 million. It was first made into a TV anime from 1997 to 1998, then into a trilogy of theatrical anime from 2012 to 2013, and was made into a TV anime again from 2016 to 2017. Ten years after the release of the theatrical anime depicting the “Golden Age,” a memorial edition TV series was broadcast in 2022.
The new Ichiban Kuji for this series, “Ichiban Kuji Berserk: The Black Swordsman Defying Fate,” features a lineup of items that fully showcase the deep world of “Berserk,” including figurines, big post towels, acrylic stands, jacquard towels, rubber coasters, and more.
The A prize is a figure of Guts wearing Berserker armor. This is the first time that the “MASTERLISE” series has been made into a 3D figure in Ichiban Kuji, with its overwhelming and realistic design and powerful impact. The B prize is a figure of the great sword “Dragon Slayer” that Guts inherited. The beauty of the carefully crafted base is also something to be noted. Another highlight is that by combining the included interchangeable arm parts with the A prize, you can recreate the appearance of Guts holding the “Dragon Slayer”.
The C prize, the “Big Post Towel”, is a new Ichiban Kuji brand “Post Towel” design. It can be used not only as a towel but also as a decoration, and you can enjoy the design that focuses on the “Eclipse”. The D prize is a “Behelit” figure from the “MASTERELIVE COLLECTION”. With a lineup of three types, including the crimson Behelit “Egg of the Overlord”, you will definitely want to try to complete the collection.
Other items available include 20 types of acrylic stands featuring illustrations of all the main characters from the series, six highly practical jacquard towels to choose from, and rubber coasters that can be used not only to decorate your dining table but also as key chains by attaching a ball chain, all of which are unique to Ichiban Kuji and allow you to enjoy the world of Berserk.
The final prize, which can be won by drawing the last one, is a powerful 30cm-sized SOFVICS figure of Zod, the Apostle who seeks the strongest. There will also be a double chance event where you can win a figure with the same specifications as the Last Prize in a lottery.
