Volume twenty four is excellent, in the space of 200 pages Kentaro Miura manages to expand on the physics of his world and fundamentally change the series. What is really surprising is that it is done so seamlessly. I loved the magic weapons and they explanation the receive. I love the way Kentaro manages to circumvent the Brand of Sacrifice with a cleverly used plot device. I love the reason behind why only certain people can interact with supernatural. To be honest I loved it all! Rereading this made me realise Berserk is nearly without fault. The vision behind this story is staggering.
Speaking of which story wise this volume was great. It has some very nice developments of the characters, especially Isidro and Schierke. The art is gorgeous too. I've really not talked about the art for a long time. Its funny how you can get used to things over time. Each page (baring the comic relief stuff) is a work of art. To maintain such a high level of quality over such a long series is nearly unprecedented. Manga doesn't get much better than this.
