Spiraken Manga Review Ep 623: Centuria

Xan ventures into the grim world of Centuria by Tohru Kuramori, a dark fantasy manga that has drawn inevitable comparisons to Berserk. With its brutal opening, eldritch horrors, and a protagonist burdened by 100 stolen lives, does this newcomer topple the king of grimdark, or does it land somewhere in the middle? We tread carefully—keeping the mystery intact. In This Episode: A measured look at the first chapter's dark, visceral opening and what it sets up. Discussing the comparisons to Berserk and where Centuria stands on its own. The latest manga releases from this week.
