Vinland Saga is a highly regarded manga series that began in 2005. The narrative initially focused on the journey of Thorfinn, a young warrior who teamed up with a group of mercenaries seeking vengeance against their leader, Askeladd, for the death of his father. While these early plots were filled with action, intrigue, and battle, Vinland Saga developed over time, using its violent tales to address deeper questions regarding the nature of war, revenge, and finding a more constructive way to resolve conflicts, especially highlighted in the Slave arc. The storytelling has been lauded over the years, and its historical accuracy combined with Makoto’s remarkable artwork have also served as major draws. To truly appreciate it, the various hardcover Deluxe Editions are currently on sale at Amazon.
