Nothing happend??

Thorffin is a slave, and is dead inside , watch those eyes...

Great Chapter for the Beginning of the "Actual history", if the prologue last 54 Chapters, anyone wants to bet how long this one is going to be??

Tyrone Biggums · 2009-06-23, 19:30

True...that's sick, but you know whats better?

Thorffin snapping out of his daze and fucking shit up lol

signorRossi · 2009-06-24, 03:50

But how many years will it take to finish this story? Hopefully the author won't take as much time as Miyazaki with the Nausicaa manga, but not that I want to finish this story anytime soon, though.

Jenesay · 2009-06-24, 19:10

So I finally read through chapters 51-54 and... God damn! Seriously, did he just bite the dust like that? Well that was one of the most unexpected deaths I've ever read about, my hat, feet's and hands off for even daring to do that. Fucking awesome, but yet strangely sad.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Is it just me, or does this manga keep getting better and better, both story and art wise? The detail that went into those last chapters must have taken ages to make.

I hope Thorfinn is eventually convinced to give up on his sad crusade and move on. Plus we need to see what happened to Helga and Ylfa back in Iceland.

I like the new Canute, and hopefully he will teach Thorfinn some lessons about how stupid his quest of vengeance is.

As for the duel, I think Canute may step in and end it before we know the true verdict.
BTW, does anyone think that because Thorfinn is essentially the son of nobility that he will end up saddled with his own command, forcing him to grow in order to become a better leader and warrior?

Yeah.
I agree..
I also think it was pretty messed up how he acts towards his mother...
Or more correctly, When the old man was telling about how sick his mother is and so on...
He seemed apathetic about it (at least to me)..

I think it's quite the opposite.

Back when Leif was talking about his mother and sister, Thorfinn knew that remembering them would make him start questioning his resolve to get revenge, because he actually missed them. Which made him feel threatened (which is why he tried to get Leif drop that topic and talk about Vinland), which in turn made him angry.

(Or at least that's how I understood it)

People have recommended that this manga is really good and I'm interested to start reading. However, I don't want to read something that's just hack and slash, is there any romance at all in the world of Vinland Saga? I mean even Guts in Berserk had a relationship.

No romance yet, BUT definitely not 'hack and slash'.

lol he's just like Sasuke. He lived his whole life trying to take revenge. Now, Thorffin needs to find his own purpose, which I'm willing to bet on is finding Vinland, Considering the fact that this anime is called Vinland Saga.

I planned my whole life to kill this guy then some pretty boy with zero combat exprience beats me to it.

James Lame · 2009-07-25, 08:53

I just had a marathon reading this yesterday and was pleasantly surprised how good it was, tho there are a few things that irked me. Like the ridicules power of the main characters.

It's a good series overall and I'll definitely keep on reading and hopefully It'll get better as this was apparently just the prologue.

Yeah i know. But its a manga, not a anime. I hope they do animate it though.
He needs to take his ass back home.

In the state Thorfin was in, I think Askaladd would've died before Thorfin beat him.

Blackfyre · 2009-07-31, 11:07

Have we gotten anything on the latest chapter?

Claies · 2009-08-01, 00:52

Oh dear... a 7-volume prologue. The art is ridiculously detailed (the hair!), and I'm very, very impressed by the writing.

By the way guys, I recommend reading this while listening to E.S. Posthumus. The semi-historical epicness fits too well.

God when is the next chapter released?! Can't wait!
