Publisher Hakusensha announced on Thursday that Berserk manga creator Kentarou Miura passed away on May 6 at 2:48 p.m. due to acute aortic dissection. He was 54. His family held a private service.

Miura was born on July 11, 1966 in Chiba prefecture. He made his professional manga debut with the "Futatabi…" (Once More…) story in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 1985.

Miura then published the one-shot version of the Berserk manga in Hakusensha's Monthly Comicomi magazine in 1988. He launched the full Berserk manga series in Hakusensha's Monthly Animal House magazine in 1989, and the series continued in Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine until now. It has over 40 million copies in circulation.

Sadly Miura would be unable to finish his Berserk series.

guessing this is a painfully long scene in the series?

The arc itself isn't long, but it was more of how Miura took almost 9 years to finish it. During that time you were lucky if you got 2 chapters a year.

The running gag in the fandom was that was too busy playing Idolmaster, since he mentioned in an interview he bought a 360 just to play Idolmaster around that time.

Like many other manga people, seems he was dealing with sickness.
