Vinland Saga
-
Chapter 89 is out.
-
16 pages for a monthly series, i think it can not be shorter

Yeah… And it's right as its about to get good.
-
The reunion between Thorfinn and Leif was completely offscreen???? And yeah, wow, way too short.

A few of the last Hellsing chapters had around 9 or 10 pages….

I was suprised by this as well, but I am not sure if the reunion scene would've fit into the current framework.
-
Pages 11 and 12 effectively convey what Thorfinn's and Leif's reunion means, so I am okay with Yukimura not showing it happen frame by frame. Besides, this way it doesn't disturb the atmosphere of impending invasion.
Next year shapes up to be superb for this manga. Even I, who enjoyed Farmland Saga as much as any other Yukimura work, won't be denying that.

I get the feeling we'll see it in a meaningful flashback when the time is right.
-
I missed out on a few chaps so I got to read a good chunk in one go.
Can't wait until Thorfinn meets Canute. So many ways this can go. Don't see Thorfinn siding with Ketil after what happened but it's not like he'll just side with Canute and go to war for him. It'll be very interesting to see what he ends up deciding to do. It's funny to me cuz the recent 10 chaps or so from The Ravages of Time imo have the answer.

Just learned some things about the English edition Kodansha USA is putting together. You guys gearing up to buy this series are going to be prettttttty stoked when this thing shows up on shelves.
-
October never seemed so far away. Your teasing is appreciated, stephen.
-
Short but sweet. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Thorfinn and friends are going to get away from this.

-
Well now that sounds nice.
-
Damn! Why did I buy the German one? And how do I justify importing this version on top of it? xD
-
This along with Thermae will be one of the series in my collection that I will buy in English
-
This is almost like that 2 book version of Nausicaä Stephen posted a while ago..
-
Awesome news Stephen!

Seriously, I can't wait. This, alongside with I am a Hero and Thermae Romae are the comics I have always wanted in my bookshelf in english. Two are getting hardcover releases, so maybe someday someone will pick up I am a Hero as well.
-
Speaking of the exclusive material, it looks like a samurai one-shot that was never published in book form. So there you have it, the unbeatable combination of vikings and samurai in one book.
-
By samurai one-shot, do you mean "Because Goodbyes are Coming Soon"? Either way I'm so gonna get this when it's out.
-
I really hope the oneshot gets published in the German version of Vinland Saga as well sometime in the future.
-
Dumhuvud: Yep, that's the one. About Kondo Isami and Okita Soji (Shinsengumi).
-
I guess he'll tell her about Vinland.
I like where this is going.

Yep, this could be the moment Thorfinn decides to become a traveler and explorer or at least it could be a significant moment for the decision
-
Best chapter in a long while.

Yep, I'm hoping for the same thing to happen.

Yaaaaaay Vikings killing Vikings are back, no more Farmland Saga!

Well, VS gave that scepter to Vagabond, though i enjoyed/enjoy both farm arcs
-
b-but Farmland Saga was great
-
Yes it was, and Sealand Saga will be even greater.
-
But…but...I want more Canute Saga :(
-
It wasn't bad. Just too long.
After so many years of viking decapitation deprivation. -
I loved the farmland saga.
It really gave the reader an opportunity to better understand Thorfinn. -
Farmland saga was good in concept but it was dragged out for way too long.
-
Farmland saga felt like a new manga when it started so I didn't really mind it. Got to know Thorfinn as he changed and accept his changes and new way of life. It being that long was probably to make a point. He could've easily lived out his life as some farmer who found peace after buying his freedom.
It's really about the ppl he meets and the situation he ends up in that'll really drive arcs for a while until he really gets a strong conviction that takes him on another journey.
-
Anyone knows when the next chapter comes out?
-
@keizerking:
Anyone knows when the next chapter comes out?
In about a week, more or less.
-
My emotions are all over the place after reading that
-
Great ending for Farmland saga. The arc dragged like crazy but it's great it could end with a bang.
-
Can somebody post a direct link to the chapter, please? if its ok
*Nvm, found it
-
Man…That was good.
Stoked to see where it goes. -
-
Good ending to this but it seems like there's an underlying realization or ignoring that in order to go to "Vinland" or create that type of place you will have to fight for it.
I still hope Thorfin meets Canute before this is officially over. Just to kinda see a scene where he demands he comes back to serve under him and the whole conflict that would lead to.
-
New arc begins after this
-
Ah, the path to the castle… we meet again.
-
New arc begins after this
Doesnt actually sound like its staring just yet. Back to the Ketil farm it is…
-
Is there any possibility that Thorfinn saves the farm ? That's the feeling these last chapters gave but even so i find it hard to believe that he can do anything significant to stop Canute.
