So, I'm getting close to caught up with what's released with Berserk. Casca has a possible way of being healed, but the issue is that they aren't there yet! And at the end of this tome, they still aren't there!!
The Kushans are using spellcasters to control monsters and attack the gang and later the city. The only way to really defeat the overpowered monsters is to take out the spellcasters. Fortunately, Schierke is able to locate them. Guts just has to buy time until Serpico can get to the spellcasters and take them out.
Also important in this tome is Farnese. She ends up back with her family, but it isn't a happy homecoming. The gang needs a boat to travel to the elf land where they will heal Casca, but all the ships are currently being used for the war efforts. Farnese is approached with a way to secure passage for her friends, but it will mean sacrificing her new life for the greater good. The funny thing is, Casca takes care of that in a short amount of time, and then it's up to everyone to get out of there before the Kushan attack again. But it's too late, and it's deja vu trying to get out of the city.
I was particularly struck by the art in this one. Specifically, I keep remembering one double-page picture of a ship. It was incredibly detailed, and I just kept wondering how long it took to make it. How many hours? Days? The child has to show back up. It would be really weird if he didn't, but I'm a bit confused about his role in the overall story. I won't make any predictions. I can't guess where this story goes! Maybe...just maybe! Can we please heal Casca in volume 11? I know Guts was told she may not come back the way he hopes, but I'm ready for her to do more than "Ooooo."
