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.

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

Epic manga about Vikings.
Epic story, epic battles, epic storytelling and epic art.
Thors the Throll is the most badass character I've seen in a manga in a long time. ;'D Kudos to him.

Of the lesser "mainstream" // at least for us non-native consumers // Vinland Saga and Pluto definitely stand out as the best overall works available.
Almost nothing to criticize here, the art is terrific, story is intense but does not lose its seinen qualities, and characters engaging. One downside might be its slow release, but as long as the quality's there I do not mind one bit waiting a year a volume.
Thanks to Yukimura and Mangascreener!

As the previous posts have said, this one holds tremendous potential. An out-of-the-ordinary story that has all the necessary ingredients to become a masterpiece. Gives a similar feel as claymore in my opinion, but Vinland Saga targets perhaps a more mature audience. I loved claymore, but I think I will love this one even more. Can't wait for the next release.
yup, this one has a big potential

A promising historical manga. Art is very good and fighting scenes are really well done. I like character and environment. If it keeps its present level and maybe goes a little more in depth it will be a great work. Lots of potentialities
