Miura-sensei first manga, Miuranger, dates all the way back to 1976, when he was only 10 years-old, published in his school’s publication for 40 chapters.

His first officially serialized manga was Noa in 1985, but his raise to fame came in 1989 when the serialization of Berserk officially started on Monthly Animal House published by Hakusensha. The serialization of the extremely popular manga has continued ever since for 40 volumes. Anime, video games, and more have sealed the franchise’s popularity thanks to its vivid characters and extremely dark fantasy setting.

Miura-sensei’s latest manga, Duranki, started its serialization in 2019.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
