Berserk Deluxe Volume 14: Contents, Release Date, Full 1–14 Set
Berserk Deluxe Volume 14 (Dark Horse, November 21, 2023) collects volumes 40 and 41 plus the Official Guidebook. The Deluxe list runs 1–14; volume 42 is not in it.
Berserk Deluxe Volume 14 contains regular volumes 40 and 41 plus the Berserk Official Guidebook. It does not contain regular volume 42. Dark Horse describes it as collecting Kentaro Miura’s final two volumes, with the guidebook and two fold-out color posters, in an oversized hardcover of more than 500 pages. It went on sale to bookstores on November 21, 2023 and to comic shops on November 22, 2023 (Dark Horse announcement). Dark Horse’s Deluxe list runs from Deluxe 1 to Deluxe 14, so Deluxe 14 is the last book in the set it lists (Dark Horse Direct).

Deluxe 1–14 at a glance
Dark Horse says each Deluxe hardcover collects three of the regular paperback volumes, apart from Deluxe 14 (Dark Horse Direct). That makes the Deluxe numbers a different system from the regular volumes you may see in searches such as “Berserk volume 14”.
| Deluxe book | Regular volumes collected |
|---|---|
| Deluxe 1 | 1–3 |
| Deluxe 2 | 4–6 |
| Deluxe 3 | 7–9 |
| Deluxe 4 | 10–12 |
| Deluxe 5 | 13–15 |
| Deluxe 6 | 16–18 |
| Deluxe 7 | 19–21 |
| Deluxe 8 | 22–24 |
| Deluxe 9 | 25–27 |
| Deluxe 10 | 28–30 |
| Deluxe 11 | 31–33 |
| Deluxe 12 | 34–36 |
| Deluxe 13 | 37–39 |
| Deluxe 14 | 40, 41 and the Official Guidebook |
So the full Deluxe set is 14 books covering regular volumes 1–41, and the Deluxe edition differs from the standard paperbacks in format: Dark Horse lists a 7-by-10-inch oversized hardcover with foil stamping and a faux-leather cover. We have not handled the books and make no claim about paper or binding quality.
Count story coverage separately from the third book
Dark Horse’s multi-volume listing names the contents of each deluxe. Deluxe 13 collects regular volumes 37–39. Deluxe 14 names 40, 41 and the Official Guidebook. Our Berserk contents map therefore stores two numbered story units for Deluxe 14 and records the guidebook as an extra.
| What you already own | Deluxe 14 adds | Story overlap |
|---|---|---|
| Regular volumes through 39 | 40 and 41 | None |
| Regular volumes through 40 | 41 | 40 |
| Regular volumes through 41 | No numbered story coverage | 40 and 41 |
| Regular volumes through 38 | 40 and 41, but 39 remains missing | None |
These are set calculations from the publisher’s contents, not recommendations based on price. The final row matters: no overlap does not necessarily mean a continuous collection. Check the missing-volume result as well as the new-volume count.
Does the guidebook make the purchase worthwhile?
That is a separate collecting decision. The coverage tool cannot measure the value you place on the guidebook, larger format or a matching set. If you already own 40 and 41, it should say that you gain no new numbered story coverage, while still showing the guidebook in the edition record. Calling the whole book a duplicate would conceal that distinction.
Avoid extending the pattern
Do not multiply an arbitrary deluxe number by three to calculate its final volume. A mapping needs the specific publisher entry, especially at a series boundary or special release. This site’s audited Berserk range ends at regular volume 41; a completed target here is not a claim that you own every release. Read how we separate extras from story volumes for the same issue in other sets.
