About this converter
Berserk by Kentaro Miura ran in Hakusensha Young Animal from 1989, and continues under Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga past ch. 375. This page compares 9 arcs covering ch. 1-375, from the 8 chapter Black Swordsman opener to the 86 chapter Golden Age. Conviction, Millennium Falcon and Fantasia each split into their official sub-arcs so no rows overlap. Counts come from Hakusensha tables of contents, cross checked against the Berserk Wiki release pages. The 1997 series, the 2016 series and the Memorial Edition films each cover slices of the same chapters.
How to use it
Pick two arcs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Golden Age arc against Black Swordsman to see the 86 to 8 gap. Then test Falconia against Lost Children to compare 72 chapters with 16.
Saga groupings overlap their sub-arcs, so only sub-arcs feed the rows. Conviction holds Lost Children, Binding Chain and Birth Ceremony. Millennium Falcon holds the Holy Evil War and Falconia. Fantasia holds Elf Island plus the Mori continuation. The continuation past ch. 365 stays in one open row since it is still running. Dark Horse English volumes collect the same chapters, with deluxe hardcovers repackaging three volumes each.

The 1997 series covers the Golden Age, the 2016 series continues past it, and the Memorial Edition recuts the Golden Age films.
