In January 2005, as the franchise gained momentum coinciding with the first anime adaptation's release in Spain, the manga was reprinted covering all previous volumes, this time up until volume 30 in February 2007. Between March 2001 and December 2002, Berserk was printed in Spain by MangaLine Ediciones under its original name up to volume 25. From 1996 to 1997, the first Spanish edition was printed under the name Gatsu el guerrero negro ( Gatsu the Black Warrior) by Editorial Planeta DeAgostini under its label Planeta DeAgostini Comics, covering the Black Swordsman Arc. In Europe, the manga was introduced in 1996, first in France (Samourai Editions), then in Italy ( Panini Comics, under its Marvel Manga – later Planet Manga – imprint) a few months later. However, the content in general remains untouched.
The company also occasionally incorporates references to various franchises, such as Evil Dead, into the dialogue. The sound effects are left untranslated in the earlier releases, but are translated in later books starting from volume 12. As with other Dark Horse manga releases, the Japanese reading format (from right to left) is preserved in the English release.
In America, Berserk is translated and published by Dark Horse Comics, which has released 40 volumes so far, the first of which was published on October 22, 2003.
