From the creator of "Planetes", by Makoto Yukimura, now comes a new series, "Vinland Saga".
Where Planetes is a sci-fi story in a future that we all might see if we continue to live another 60 years, Vinland Saga takes place in the Dark Ages, during the time when Vikings would loot and plunder the coast or worse, move inland and try to conquer the land they invaded.
The story is about Thorfinn, a young boy who wants to kill the man who killed his father. And how's he gonna do that? Because he needs a good reason to challenge Askeladd ( the killer ), he became part of his crew and goes on dangerous missions. If he is successful, Askeladd will give him a reward he wants. And the reward is the duel that Thorfinn wants so much. So Thorfinn tries to survive, do dangerous missions, duel Askeladd amidst the Viking conquest, dangerous enemies, Danish politics and fighting enemies within ( and also those from the outside while he's at it ).
A story that will make you laugh, reading while ignoring the world around you and shouting: "No way he's gonna do that......YOU BASTARD, you did it, oooooh you......"
Compared with Berserk and Claymore by almost every reviewer.
I hope they will release it soon in english in the US and Europe.
