Urgh. Why does this have to be a monthly release? These chapters feel so damn short.

It might have something to do with the rate of how often the group gets a new chapter, how often a new chapter is actually released or that they get a few , then spread them out monthly so as to not create even longer delays.

As they say: quality over quantity. I prefer to read a good story with great lineart once a month rather than boring shounen blob that comes out every week. As for the chapter, Gardar looks a little like Thorfinn used to when he's mad in the fight. We can clearly see the change in Thorfinn's point of viev, I'm a little dissapointed though, it was one of these meaningless chapters again ...

That's pretty much what I'm getting at though. It's not just that the chapters are short, they're just not advancing anything or at least I'm not seeing it just yet (aside from obviously canute marching straight to Thorfinn).

I've been fine with the latest couple of chapters, but yeah, this one was a little weak. It was wrapped up too neatly too. I hope something else happens with the slave, at least. What pissed me off, though, was what Thorfinn said to Einar. I've got no problem with Thorfinn's recent change, but please tell me he's not going to constantly preach about it and force his ideals onto others. He sounded whiny and annoying.

The point is that Yukimura gives us hope once in a while by making an actually interesting chapter (last month's, the ones with brand new king Canute, Thorfinn's dream, etc) and then he goes on with creating Farmland Saga all over again, it's getting frustrating, really. I have nothing against Thorfinn's change, it's just that last year was basically all about cliffhangers and unfinished plot lines.

I think we're all annoyed with this saga of pure farming. I also agree with the slight rays of hope and then the sudden betrayal of said hope. I think I'll just continue other stuff and once again try and forget Vinland Saga until the next chapter comesup.

yea i think maybe king canute will kill einar and thorfinn will find a happy medium between his previous bloodlust and his new preachy pasifism.

I was hoping Thorfinn would be forced to fight that slave guy... And anyway, what's up with that new philosophy of his? Fighting is bad, but standing there and watching a fight is okay? I'm not saying that I think he should go even more messianic than he just got and try to stop them with talk-no-jutsu, just wish he'd do *something*, even if it has nothing to do with fighting.

Wondering how long this huge build-up will take. Read three chaps together, and unlike most of you, I can see the progress. Obviously I'd be pissed if I had to read it once a month like you people lol...better to put it on hold for a few months and read a couple of chapters together.

Also, the length of the chapters is too short.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

I think Thorfinn is going to become the Viking Gandhi.

It seems so and it's kind of lame. Good to be like that in reality, not very good if you are the main guy of a manga with violence in violent times.

More like having to face Snake.

Btw is Thorfinn even good at fighting anymore? Skill obtain in battle start to rust if you do not use them for a very long time. Also he was a kid when he was fighting so the rustiness will become even bigger especially considering his battle method was based on jumping around like a monkey. Can he even jump around like that now that his getting older and his out of practice?
