NEWS: Berserk Manga Resumes on February 14 After 4-Month Hiatus

I really don't understand what editors are thinking.

Okay you decided to continue the story, why publish it once/twice a year tho? You have multiple talented people working on it.
Do they want to milk it for as long as possible? Because if Miura probably had health issues / wanted to work on other stuff (like Duranki), now I have no explanation for what's going on

Because those multiple talented people likely want to take their time making it to the best of their abilities, so as to properly honor Miura, instead of rushing the remainder of the story out? Also, Kouji Mori (the guy who's supervising this continuation) has also been making his own manga, D. Diver, since 2023 so I imagine it's essentially impossible for him to do both D. Diver & Berserk simultaneously.

Just because Miura has passed away that doesn't mean that Berserk should be treated like it's a robotic production line to the finish. Let the creatives take their time.

I would agree that this is the way to go if we were getting art comparable to Miura's, but we aren't. It's still good, but it's not nearly the same standard as Miura. Instead of single chapters every 4-8 months, they should put it in hold until a dedicated group can take it over and put the effort and time into Berserk that it deserves. There's a compromise between 2 chapters a year and an assembly line churn out.

There isn't a "dedicated group" to take over. This is Miura's former assistants and his friend that he shared the plot with. It's either this team, or Berserk is over without an ending.

Berserk isn't some secret family recipe that can't be shared or else it will doom the family restaurant. It's a manga.
