FOR HONOR AND VENGEANCE

As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west. But his youthful fantasies were shattered by a mercenary raid. Raised by the Vikings who murdered his family, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band's leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father. Sustaining Thorfinn through his ordeal are his pride in his family and his dreams of a fertile westward land, a land without war or slavery...the land Leif called Vinland.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Gripping doesn’t begin to describe Vinland Saga. 5 stars.” –ICv2

“The art is gorgeous, a combination of beautiful cartooning and realistic backgrounds. Yukimura is also a master of pacing, both in frenetic battle scenes and charged emotional moments.” –Faith Erin Hicks

“Deeply engrossing… If you have any interest at all in Vikings, the Medieval period, or pirates, this is not a series you want to miss.” –Anime News Network

“For those who love Berserk, you’ll love this too.”  –Manga Bookshelf

Other than a few curves on the pages, on the bottom of the book, it looked good.
I usually like to compare the manga and anime because usually the manga could be completely different because it’s the original story. Other than some of the pages being a little curved, it looked good! I hadn’t started the manga yet but I’m excited.

First of all, the quality of the product is very nice. I love the hardcovers, the pages are high quality and I’ve been able to read the entire series without even creasing the spine while also being perfectly ergonomic for books with 300-400 pages. They have taken top shelf to my manga display and it’s AMAZING for the price point, I mean you just can’t beat it.
Secondly, the content is just GOATED to be real. The story is just hands down amazing, Vinland Saga is a top tier shounen series and I highly recommend it to anyone. The translation is on point, the art is immaculate, character development and the relationships you develop with characters can be honestly goosebump worthy. I turned into a HUGE fan and I will probably reread it over and over. So if you’re looking for a new series to get into please let it be Vinland Saga! I promise you will not be disappointed! On top of that, the shipping is really quick, you won’t have to wait long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014

I wasn't sure about this one, as I'd never head of it. Amazon suggested it to me based upon my buying history, and I was intrigued. I did a little research, saw some reviews, and ordered it. Read it within a few hours.

It's fascinating because it's fiction with some limited historical accuracy. It's much like Lone Wolf and Cub in that respect (some historical accuracy), though both manga are entirely different. Vikings instead of ronin, yet still makes use of similar themes; honor, revenge, assassins, etc. But the characters and source material are a nice change of pace and an interesting twist on manga.

I liked it so much that I ordered the second and third books as well. Some compare it to Berserk but I feel that the series are nothing alike. Berserk focuses more on shock and the supernatural, while this has little or none of that. Maybe the themes change as the series continues, as it's my understanding that the content went from shonen to seinen in the first year. Some of the images are almost Miura-quality in detail though, so I expect cool things from Yakimura as it progresses. I've always wanted to read his Planetes, though it's out of print. Maybe I'll try to source used copies.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017

Makoto's Yukimura's Viking saga is interesting in how developed the characters are and how much research Makoto Yukimura put into building the saga is admirable. The art is good for anime art, but still has a lot of the hallmarks of the genre in ways that can render elements of the story cartoonish at points. However, the art is highly detailed, the action very well-rendered, and the characters are very expressive. The violence is heavy, but it is not nearly as graphic as a comic like Berserk or Claymore, which this was weirdly compared to in some reviews I have read.

The characters and setting are interesting, Thorfinn's motives are rendered clearly as is Askeladd. The world building is very detailed and that is where the research really shines. A recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality hardcover. Viking epic. Yes, please.
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
My first impression was that the book quality is stellar. This is a hardcover omnibus with nice paper and a very cool cover; you can see that the primary colors just pop!

Like other medieval, sword-swinging manga, it starts slow with a focus on action. Fight scenes are clear and easy to follow, and the combat is competent. The story develops as a historical epic about Vikings and a philosophical tale of war, slavery, and vengeance.

Thorfinn crazes for revenge in a stark contrast to his father Thors, who has come to believe we have no enemies. Since Thors is a foil to our main character, he drives many of the ethical questions throughout this book, and I find him to be the chief page-turner.

I highly recommend this to fans of historical fiction and warrior stories, and I am excited to jump into the rest of the adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Seinen Manga
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2021

This is my first dive into Vinland Saga and I'm already hooked, it's a nice change of pace from the usual shonen that take place in and around Japan. It's heavily Norse inspired so if you have even the slightest clue about Norse Mythology or are interested in Vikings this will probably scratch that itch for you. I don't know much more than that, this is my first time reading it and I'm only maybe 2 chapters in at time of writing. My only complaint, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the contents manga, Amazon doesn't really take proper care of making sure books don't shift around inside the box or get dinged up during transit. The bottom right corner of my manga is bent in a little and the top of it has a cut right in the top almost like a small flap. It's a little upsetting but the inside of the book isn't damaged at least. I'm lenient with these kinds of things but other people might not be, so just a word of warning.

Got it nearly two months ago and I'm writing the review right now but I feel its valid. Bought it for around 900 (inr) at my time and its worth the price. No issues in the printing quality nor any in the binding. A tiny dent at the corner but that's pretty much what you'll get with nearly any hardcover, and it's unnoticeable unless you really look at it from very close. Overall thoughts are that it's pretty good considering the price and looks really neat.
