Berserk fans eagerly await updates on the upcoming Chapter 376, especially with the future of the manga uncertain following the passing of author Kentaro Miura. However, Miura's colleague Kouji Mori is committed to continuing and concluding the beloved series.
Berserk fans are well aware of the inconsistent release schedule for chapters, often waiting over a year for a single release. While grateful, they still wonder: when is the next Berserk chapter coming out? Warning: spoilers ahead!
When is Berserk Chapter 376 releasing?
As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Berserk Chapter 376. Updates on chapter releases are typically included in the following issue of Young Animal magazine, so the earliest we can expect news on a new chapter release is two weeks prior to the official release, unless announced otherwise. While there was hope for a consistent bi-monthly release schedule following the release of Berserk Chapters 374 and 375 two months apart in Young Animal issues 19 and 22, respectively, there has been no announcement regarding Chapter 376 since its release in November 2023, which is unfortunately standard for Berserk fans.
Events leading up to Berserk Chapter 376
Arriving on Elfhelm with Nosferatu Zodd, Griffith, the most detested character in all of Japanese fiction, seeks to take Casca from Guts. Despite Guts' efforts to resist, Griffith demonstrates his near invincibility, leaving Guts feeling hopeless as Griffith unleashes shadowy creatures upon the island.
Griffith unleashes a dark force, destroying Elfhelm and causing most of the magical creatures, including the mermaid Isma, to disappear. The remaining characters escape on their infamous ship, leaving Guts in a deep depression.
After the chaos subsides, the ship is attacked by Kushan forces led by Silat and Daiba. Isidro is devastated, believing Guts has given up and been captured. However, hope is reignited when Rickert appears among the Kushan soldiers, guiding them to a new land.

Meanwhile, Casca remains in a fugue state in Falconia, descending into fits of rage whenever she regains awareness before ultimately losing consciousness. Griffith discusses a plan to travel eastward with his generals, his gaze fixed on the World Tree – a structure that materialized following Griffith's defeat of the Kushan Emperor Ganishka in his colossal new form. This strongly suggests that an offensive against the Kushan Empire is imminent.
Chapter 375 concludes with our heroes embarking on a new journey, venturing into the Eastern territory of the Kushan Empire. Inspired by the real-life Kushan Empire of the first century, located in the Middle East and North India, this new arc promises exciting adventures.
Rickert emerges as a key player, having previously sought sanctuary in Griffith's kingdom, Falconia, but ultimately rejecting Griffith's offer to join him again, and instead aligning himself with the Kushan forces led by Silat in their investigation of Griffith. Together, the group makes their daring escape from Falconia, heading towards the East.
Guts found it nearly impossible to land a blow on Griffith, as his enormous sword simply passed through him with each strike. Despite his strong attachment to his iconic Dragonslayer, Guts realized he needed to change his approach in order to defeat Griffith. Whether it meant seeking assistance from his unusual ally Skull Knight, learning magic from the Kushan mage Daiba, or finding a way to strip Griffith of his godly power.
After the devastation of Elfhelm, Griffith demonstrated that nothing was beyond his malevolent influence, making it clear that evasive maneuvers were no longer an option. With Griffith en route to the Kushan capital, our heroes could only find a brief respite, as they urgently worked to devise a plan for rescuing Casca, halting Griffith's advance, and restoring Guts to full strength. As a result, the upcoming chapters may not feature as much action-packed combat.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Berserk Chapter 376. The series has been on hiatus for several months, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially interested in seeing how Guts will defeat Griffith, who has become nearly invincible. I think it's great that Kouji Mori is continuing the series after Kentaro Miura's passing, and I'm confident that he will do a great job.
I'm also excited to see what happens to Casca. She has been in a fugue state for a long time, and I'm hoping that she will finally be able to recover. I think it's important for her to get closure on her past trauma, and I'm hoping that the upcoming chapters will provide her with that opportunity. Overall, I'm very excited about the future of Berserk. I think that Kouji Mori is doing a great job of continuing the series, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
