George Morikawa, his mentor and creator of the franchise by Hajime no Ippo, wrote:
«This photo is from a sketch by Takamura that Kentarou Miura made for me. It is a drawing that is very close to my heart. Let me tell you a story In my first post for a weekly magazine, I didn't have an assistant, but he did. He was 18 and I was 19. He was a member of my university's art club and he came after we gave a drawing consultation. I didn't know how good it was so I showed him some of my illustrations and asked him to copy them to evaluate. I was impressed with the results at his age that talent was incredible. After he drew a few other things for me, I was instantly attached to him. We were still young so we took some time to talk about manga.
When he showed me his sketchbook, I realized how good it was. There were scenes of a fairy, some kind of trademark, a warrior and a huge sword. They would later be renamed Puck and Guts. His art, done with a very thick pencil, was unimaginable. When I asked him about these illustrations, he replied, “There are only a few things on my mind. It's something I recently got into. “How long has it been since then? Berserk already existed in his head. Months passed and my Hajime no Ippo series finally started running, concurrently with Berserk. I heard he was having some problems, but I was sure something ... a fantastic manga had started.
It was the show Kentarou-san had worked on all his life and made on his own terms. I was sure that the audience would be as impressed with his art as I was. For his exquisite artistic talent and passion, I no longer have any respect for every chapter he has made. That's the end of my story, we were together for a very short time, but I heard that he always thought well of me. I am very proud to have met him. Kentarou-san, I'm sorry I shared these anecdotes on my own. One day we'll meet again and you'll tell me the end».

The French portal Le Monde shared a fragment of an interview with the author a few years ago in which he commented on how he feared dying before finishing his work:
«In 2019, Kentarou Miura told French publisher Glénat that he was afraid that he would not be able to finish his berserking work before he died. ""A long time ago when I started writing this piece I was less concerned about the ending and just thought that I was writing a story that would end sooner or laterDeclared the author. ""But now I realize that life is not forever and I take care of my health to make sure I finish the story I started.""».
