Hell, Guts' Backstory is the point of the manga, it lasted 100 chapters or so, and it was really sad, especially when you really look at it.
It's a manga that makes you feel, that's for sure. I'm happy no one told me that beforehand though, I prefer going in with no prior knowledge.
Yup! Yup! Tons of violence, but it's not a mindless action manga by any means. Absolutely worth the read if you can handle the content and you even learn to love some of the side characters because they're given so much personality. The part where you learn how Guts got his mark hit me really hard ><
