Kouji Mori Readies Berserk Chapter 384 for June 12, 2026
Berserk chapter #384 is reported to return on June 12, 2026, ending a nine-month wait for the next release. The chapter continues a manga that debuted in 1989 and now moves under Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori's care.
Chapter 384 and June 12
The release lands first in June 2026, with the official Western Hemisphere date described as closer to June 11, 2026. Leaks are expected to place it nearer Tuesday, June 9, 2026, which means readers tracking the series have a narrow window before the chapter reaches them.
That timing matters because Berserk has kept its audience waiting through a long gap, and chapter #384 is the first new material after chapter #380. For a series treated as a major event by readers, nine months is not just a pause; it is the interval that turns every update into a release-day watch.
Guts and the stupa
Guts surrenders himself to the mysterious stupa in the upcoming chapter, and Daiba tells him that "all Guts can do is peer into himself." The chapter ends with a clamshell forming and enveloping Guts, a turn that keeps the focus on his condition rather than on movement outside the scene.
Silat had already called out Guts in chapter #380 for not pushing on or showing a will to live, so the new chapter extends that pressure instead of softening it. Guts is deep in the Fantasia Arc and still at rock bottom after Griffith's abduction of Casca, which leaves this return centered on whether he can move at all.
Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori
Since Kentaro Miura's death, Berserk has continued under Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori's care, and chapter #384 is another test of that stewardship. Readers who have followed the series since 1989 are not looking at a simple monthly update; they are looking at whether the story's next step can carry the weight of the long pause and the arc's current low point.
The practical answer for readers is simple: June 12, 2026 is the date to watch, with earlier appearances possible around June 9 in leaks and June 11 in the Western Hemisphere. After a nine-month gap, the chapter arrives with Guts still trapped inside the story's most isolated beat, and that is exactly why it will draw attention the moment it lands.
