I just finished reading Vinland Saga...wow
Manga Spoilers Warning
I just finished reading Vinland Saga without watching any spoilers or the anime and it's my new favorite serie, after finishing it I stared at the last panel for 10 minutes straight.
I'm not a big manga/anime guy but I do not discriminate either so I used some of the 500€ (only usable for book, instruments museums ecc) the Italian government gives if you graduate highschool with at least 100/100 (you can technically get 110/100) to buy Vinland Saga and wow that was the right choice. First thing first the art is wonderful compared to the only other manga I've read (AOT), the characters are written very well and each have their own personality, My favorite characters are Askeladd, Thorkell, Thorfinn and my personal favorite Hild (she also has similarities with prologue thorfinn), the story is top notch second only to the message of this piece of art, this story made me truly change the way I think about other people, a 9.8-10/10 experience (apart for the tears of sadness I had to hold in in the last chapters😭).
My favorite chapters were chapter 96 and chapter 191, My favorite cover arts were the volume 25 and 26 ones, the best "side stories" in my opinion were the Canuto and the Sigurd ones (Halfdan is a chad). I only have 3 questions left; WTF is Ymir? Was that a plesiosaur while they were going to Vinland and what did the old guy take to see the actual future 😂🙏
