      Anyone else read this one?

      !

      Its a Seinen manga about Vikings (finally), and deals with a band of Mercenaries and one boy in that troupe in paticular.

      now I could go into all this other stuff about the manga but I think this image will cover what my feeling are on it.

      ! yes they are running it at an enemy castle

        It's no Planetes, but it's pretty damn fun, and the art is sexy.

            I dunno, as much as I like Planetes, I've really found the dude has stepped his game up a notch after volume 2, I guess because of the flashback being over and/or changing over to a monthly magazine

                I'm surprised there're no active translators for the manga indeed, it's basically one of the greatest series currently running. Askeladd is the man.

                        Definitely got a Berserk vibe from how you described it in that one sentence. Hell, it reminds me a lot of Golden Age berserk..just with vikings.

                        And that's pretty awesome if it is. Definitely interested.

                            Read til Vol. 3, main character is a freaking jackass, but the concept action and drama are good.
                            My biggest gripe is the art; it feels way too anime-ish to catch the feel of hardened warriors ready to slay you, your mother, your newly born child and puppy just for the fun of it.
                            Gonna get Vol. 4 and 5 now and see what's happening next. Overall an OK series.

                              OK seriously

                              WHY IS THIS SERIES NOT ANIMATED YET?!

                              Gotta say his art got better once he switched to monthly, and the anime-ish vibe I was getting nerfed down somewhat.

                              Oh and

                              Fuck PETA and spoilers.

                                I picked this one up only recently. I've always been fascinated with viking mythos and read all the chapters in Onemanga in about a day. It's always a bittersweet experience when you pick up a new comic, first you can read many chapters in a row but in the end you have to wait for the next one for ages.

                                I wonder where Thorfinn can go from here. Maybe he learns to value his life during his time as a slave, dunno. It was funny that the whole 54 first chapters was just a "prologue" and the real story is supposedly just starting now.

                                "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."

                                    Well, the whole viking business wasn't really big in Finland, we left it for the swedes, danes and norwegians, since they have more beard growth than us.

                                      Haha that response was fairly epic Traveller, it sounded like something Oda would come out and say. We all know the things Oda says put him ahead of other shounen mankaka!

                                      As for Vinland Saga I really think it has a lot of potential. I haven't really seen anything covering Norse/Viking folklore and history in manga before this. Excuse me of I offend some people when I say Norse instead of Viking sometimes, I do realise there was more to the Vikings than Norway. If someone can correct me to my mistakes on Viking lore during this discussion I would appreciate the chance to correct my faults.

                                      Yes I am especially polite to Northern European people (I'm polite to people in general) because I have a great deal of respect for them and their traditions, and plan on one day after I make it to Japan to visit several countries up there and experience the culture.

                                      Anyway back to Vinland Saga. I really enjoy the series, I anticipate very eagerly every new release. I do find it a bit tragic when it gets a bit darker later on though, and I can really feel sorry for Thorfinn throughout.

                                          I prefer shounen overall over seinen and yet in my experience seinen rarely fails to deliver epic moments. Askeladd died as a badass as he had lived as a badass. Talk about heroic!

                                              In other news, famous popular shonen junkie known as Mangastream has picked up a not so popular and oh so seinen Vinland fucking Saga.

                                              Makoto Yukimura - Vinland Saga Chapter 68 [MangaStream]

                                              Enel save us all if this doesn't mean trouble. But, for now, live the life to the fullest and enjoy this feast. Though, Hox' translations are better.

                                              Latest chapter were very tasty and long at that. Finally we have Yukimura adress Thorfinn's brooding, his lack of motivation and goal. Important stuff. Something big has to happen to set things right into the bloody carnage direction, and some trampled down wheat doesn't really cut as a starter. So stay tuned.

                                              Also, Snake rocks.

                                                Likely because, unfortunately, this series only updates every month or so.

                                                Despite how outrageously awesome it is, there isn't much to talk about if it's not updating.

                                                    I wait so long for new chaps.

                                                    The path the story is going down in this new chap gave me hope for Thorfinn being an epic character again.

                                                        Holy. FUCK. YESSSS.

                                                        You will not be motherfucking disappointed.

                                                        It's gritty and harsh and mature like Berserk, but with VIKINGS. The series epitomizes GAR, but is also very poignant and deep.

                                                        And don't even get me started on Askeladd. Askeladd is probably one of the most incredible (and well-fleshed out) characters I've ever read in a manga.

                                                        Just read it.

                                                          GAR? Is mangastream a credible source for scanlations of it? or Is there a much more better scan group I can access to?

                                                          Ok, but Askeladd was killed by another man according to Thorfinn, Is this other guy much more badass than Askeladd?

                                                          Ok, gonna read it after I caught up with Berserk. I'm Looking forward to it.

                                                            It's complicated. Read and you'll find out!

                                                            Mangastream only JUST started scanning chapters, but you can find Vinland Saga on Mangafox and Mangareader.

                                                                          I really couldnt understand Prince's transformation at all, I thought it was rather comical really…

                                                                          well although his last work also had this problem it was fine as it was fitting.. but for Vinland Saga I really dont know about this love lol

And dare I say, I'm liking this farm chapters, and Thorfinn willing to change as a human being. Too bad shit's going to hit the fan very soon. Which is a shame.

                                                                                If he wants to be as epic as Thors, he better start acting as him. If he becomes a spoiled psycopath brat again, all of this would've been pretty much for nothing. But anyways, I'll follow this series independently of which path it follows.

                                                                                          I really couldnt understand Prince's transformation at all, I thought it was rather comical really…

                                                                                          well although his last work also had this problem it was fine as it was fitting.. but for Vinland Saga I really dont know about this love lol

                                                                                          Man, are you kidding

                                                                                          Those sequences were the absolute best

                                                                                          Also I have to comment and say I've been adoring everything past the prologue just as much as I was loving it. Everything just feels fucking perfect.

                                                                                                ! I don't know what to say. Seeing Thorfinn recieve a beating like that is kinda unusual, and how Einar was the one that got angry. . .I was expecting Thorfinn to go berserk and kill everyone, but he is really looking and acting more and more like his father. Maybe, my less favourite chapter of the farm arc so far. The 34 pages were over in 2 minutes.
