Bigshot ToyWorks crafted the bookends and JW Productions prototyped and hand-painted them. Each polyresin end piece is 7 inches high, 5 inches wide and 9 inches to 10 inches long. Each book hanger has a hand-numbered base and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Previously, Dark Horse released a limited edition of 1,000 coloring books based on Guts' sword in 2020.
Miura passed away on May 6, 2021 due to acute aortic dissection. He was 54 years old. The manga went on hiatus after his death, but was later continued in Young Animal in June 2022. The manga currently has the following credits:”Original work by Kentarō Miura, manga by Studio Gaga, written by Kouji Mori monitor.”
Miura launched the manga in 1989. Dark Horse released the manga in English. The manga has inspired three anime television series, an anime film trilogy that also became a compilation series, and several video games.
