Vinland is the part of America discovered by Leif Eriksson around year 1000. The plot of the manga was obvious from the very beginning. Also, you should remember that Thorfinn comes from Iceland so it's obvious it was already explored. That without saying that all the plot is based on Nordic sagas and all the characters are real. |

| Great story but I'm wishing for more action. I thought this manga was about vikings. A better name for it would be Farmland Saga... |

| Wow. Best chapter we've had in a while. PirateKingz said: Great story but I'm wishing for more action. I thought this manga was about vikings. A better name for it would be Farmland Saga... This story is about quite a bit more than just vikings. Granted, the action in the earlier arcs was top-notch and it's easy to see how much of a cocktease the current arc is to some people, but if you think the Viking violence was the whole point then you're clearly missing the big picture. |

Agreed. |

| I don't see the appeal action would have here, as awesome as it was in the beginning. Just wish for something to happen. |
| “There's power in the night. There's terror in the darkness. Despite all our accumulated history, learning, and experience, we remember. We remember times when we were too small to reach the light switch on the wall, and when darkness itself was enough to make us cry out in fear....” ~ The Dresden Files ★ ★ ★ |
| Farming was a huge part of the viking way of life. It wasn't all about the pillaging and plundering. |

| connecting slavery and war, commentary on Nordic society, reflections on the main characters past and his guilt...finally his motive, redemption. All touched upon nicely, and a 32 page chapter to boot. Thorfinn's guilt would probably be viewed by some as naive and unfitting for 'action' manga character, but I find it very convincing, and quite realistic. More interesting is the reason for thorfinn's toil as a slave, building and growing wheat, the whole justification for "farming", its not merely because he is a slave, he need not be a slave. We all know how easy it would be for him to escape this life, but he chooses to be a slave and work his ass off, and find a place where he can live in peace; something that not many readers seem to appreciate, especially people thirsting for violence, and wanting things to happen for entertainments sake only. |

| "...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 kinda expected this to come sooner or later. Vinland. This manga is going to be long. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| That was a great chapter. |

Personally i am not crazy about simply seeing violence and fighting but i am a little put off if we end up with big preaches all the time about peace and love. I don't want to read the story of Jesus from now on. Although seeing as Thorfinn was a very weak character before and the manga was pulled by Askeladd when it was full of violence i can see why the author had to build a whole different environment and try to change Thorfinn cause as he was he wouldn't have the ability to pull the manga. |
| That was a really important chapter. Nothing happened but all these important seeds have begun to grow |
| Omg...so he turned into a poor version of his father. Don't get me wrong. I liked Thors, but Thorfinn on the other hand is nothing more than a simple replacement for something we already had in this story. |
| Beautiful chapter. |
| Poor Thorfinn is still haunted by the past. |
 |
| Thorfinn is starting to get on my nerves yo |
| Thorfinn is becoming a much better character lol |
| thorfinn and einar always have the best dialogues |
