Description
From Kodansha:
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.

I'm a viking myself lol. It might be a bit slow, but I wouldn't take away a single panel. This truly is a masterpiece. Recommended to everyone. Both artwork and plot are magnificent. One of those few 10/10 mangas out there (perhaps I'm being this generous 'cause I love vikings though ).
a masterpiece

epic north european battle included the Danes and England. Its very interesting even though the story is simple and easy to follow. If you like action, epic war, you can't miss this one. Unlike Berserk and Claymore, this one is bit more realistic.
definitely worth 10/10

This manga feels a bit different from One Piece huh huh huh
So far, read 2 volumes, and it's very good. The drawings are the best (Looks like Berserk sometimes). I can't wait for the next release.
The story is about Thorfinn, a crazy blonde teenager fighter you see on the picture above. He fights with 2 shorts swords, and he's strong. He currently sails with Askeladd, a man who killed his father. And of course, he wants to take revenge in a duel with him.
Oh, and mangascreener is doing a wonderful job with this project. Read it!

So to be straight to the point, if you favorite series include the likes of Naruto, Bleach Fairy Tail, or mainstream Shounen, there is a fair possibility you will not enjoy this series.
If your favorite series are Ecchi or Comedy based, there's a high possibility that this series will just be meh for you.
But if your favorites include the likes of Vagabond, Berserk, Ubel Blatt or Wolfsmund, you will most likely enjoy this series a great deal.
It is not as action packed as the aforementioned series but is not without it's battles scenes. Without spoiling, thus far in the manga, there are 3 distinct periods in the series, the 3rd being relatively new on the block. This is a story about 1 man's development primarily, but later molds into that man's quest and desire.
It's a tale of revenge and repentance in one taking place in the early 1000's. There are many complex factors to this series. But please do yourself a favor and begin reading this.

Spoiler (highlight to view)
Ever since Thorfinn became a slave, I've been looking forward to the moment his warrior spirit would reawaken. Now I guess it did happen, but alas, it's the 'no violence' kind. I face-palmed myself into oblivion. If this peaceful "I'm a true warrior who wont hurt anyone or I'll cry" shyte's gonna continue, I'm gonna flush this manga through the toilet. Figuratively. But absolutely.
Great!!!

I stumbled onto this manga when I was bored and I was absolutely hooked from the very beginning. I love love love it! It's such a contrast from all those boring highschool drama mangas out there. It's really really (X10) good!
I can't wait until the next chapter is released. ^^

I've read both this and Historie since they were near the top of the list in ratings here at BMU. I've got to say that both their ratings are well deserved. I haven't had this much fun reading since guyver, berserk then claymore. The art is great and the plotline is awesome as well, i wasn't that captivated at first but by the time i got to the 2nd volume, it just became awesome. everyone should give this a try.
