Both are historical mangas with a great focus on the details to each titles respective eras, the detail is so good that sometimes it will make you wonder if these titles were produced and or directed by members of the history channel, discovery channel or national geographic. Both titles show considerable amount of action and violence and both titles don't make use of super powers or special moves but rather focus on technique to keep the action going (although vinland saga has some characters that posses super human strength)
Vinland Saga and Vagabond takes place in a historical time period with great emphasis on storytelling and characters. Both series' main male protagonist are skilled fighters and throughout their journey, we learn a lot from their experiences. Their story doesn't have similar premises but does go into great detail every chapter that connects some of the overall themes of the series. Expect some mature content that depicts the violence of their storytelling. Recommended for fans who wants a thrilling adventure.
Historical epics from the focus of a wild main character. we are unsure of where the narrative will take us but we will enjoy the ride.
Moreover, great care has been taken to ensure that the details of the period are reproduced perfectly and it is a proper insight into a time long forgotten.
It's hard to explain, but these 2 stories have a similar serenity about them. Both series are different from other action manga's in how they come up with a solution to their new purpose in life. Everything isn't about violence in these manga's (but the content is still very violent ironically). Vinland saga just gave me super similar vibes to Vagabond and so I highly recommend anyone who liked Vinland to try vagabond.

They are both great at potraying each of the cultures in both series very accurately. Vindland saga is about vikings, where Vagabond is about Samurai/Ronin's.
When I read recent chapter of vagabond, I remembered vinland saga, expecially on "farmland saga part".The samurai and viking warrior who is well known from their skill in battle found their new live as a peasant and slave.

Beautifully illustrated historical manga with amazing character development and realistic battle scenes.
Both MC's start off as violent wild beasts and throughout the story decide to change their ways but are still pursued by the sins of their past.

Both are historical seinen, with a lot of focus on the area in which they take place. The two Mcs are also involved in lots of fights which are beautifully drawn.

The evolution of characters I would say is the most similar, I think that in a way Thorfinn and Musashi are alike, the fights are quite good and personally I think that Vagabond has a better drawing than Vinland Saga which also has an incredible drawing.
While I was looking at the recommended section, it dawned on me how similar these two really are. So here we go.
- Both are highly acclaimed Seinen manga.
- Both feature a brash teen main character that evolves to a mature adult with a completely different perspective on life.
- Both are historical manga that represent its different time periods shockingly well.
- Both feature breathtaking art.
- Both have an arc where the action takes a backseat for the character to get a lot of development.
- Both of these are not afraid to show you the horrors of war.
- Both have almost the exact same main theme.

Both stories feature young lads who spend their childhoods and adolescence murdering other people (for one reason or the other) and then we follow them as young adults to witness how their life of death and murder has shaped them (and perhaps changed)
Vagabond and Vinland saga have so many similarities its crazy, both are about a young guy fighting in battles in a medieval/feudal historical setting and going on a character journey about their own strength and sort of rising above their own murderous intent. they're both peak too
