Monster's art was pretty generic and bland. Blade of the Immortal was nuts but just not that great to look at. I need to read Vinland Saga though.

Berserk though is on another level not even considering Japanese comic art. It's just one of the best drawn comic series of all time. And even as far as writing goes it's out of this world. There's so much horrendous stuff in Berserk that I couldn't recommend to most anybody with all the crazy ****, the adult attack bee rape, the rape horse, the Baphomet rape demon, the troll rapes, but I also could not replace Berserk with anything. No matter how problematic Berserk is it is simply not replaceable at all.
