| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Ah, it looks like we finally got some meaningful development concerning Thorfinn and his past. My guess is that the other farmers who messed up their fields might drive Thorfinn to help rediscover exactly what else he is missing. Hopefully the author continues this in the next chapter. |
| so the stage is set, characters fleshed out, trouble gathers at the horizon-or in our hero's face-and Thorfinn is not getting an NBA gig anytime soon,, his dad was huge though, oh well |

| Well, this is developing little by little. At least Thorfinn can think... |
 |
| I can foresight the ending of the Farm Arc already... it will take a couple of months tho. |
| New goal for Thorfinn: Avenge the wheat! |
| if weat is what it takes for some action so be it anything to make the farm arc end |

| To be a great warrior one must have been a great farmer v.v I feel like the mangaka was playing/watching too much dungeon seige for his own good |
| I'm just glad when the farming finally stops and we get some nice bloody action. Thorfin is NOT supposed to be a farmer, he's destined to become a great warrior. :< |
| I see a lot of constructive feedback here. Nice job summing up the chapter, people. 5/5 |
| "...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 wonder which? |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Finally a bit of nice development. Everything was looking up, but...DEAR GOD, THE WHEAT! |

| No, I was just so disappointed at the lack of farming in the chapter that I'm at a loss of words, and I had to force myself to come here and write... This is not a psychological, post traumatic stress saga up in this bitch, God damn it! Give me my plows, my horses, my wheat and my Einar's Lessons for Life! That is the reason I'm reading it, not for some semi-shonen/seinen action. We already have that in a multitude of titles, what about THE FARMING?! This is not the manga I have grown to love! The focus was shifted way too far from the main point of the chapter; the broken wheat! I mean, what the hell is this, what are they doing to my beloved Farmland? Nightmares, Askeladd and forgiveness, while the field is out there, unsupervised and un-prayed for. Am I the only one who was feeling slightly stressed out during the chapter? Not that it was for not, you see what happens if you leave the field unsupervised for too long. Now, jealousy between the servants and the slaves, this can create some serious friction at the farm, it may jeopardize everything, but how is a slave to handle it? That would be interesting to see, but I guess we once in a while have to sit through a boring chapter to set the mood and create some conflicts. I'm hoping for a another great farm-politics chapter next month. But sure, it wasn't all bad, the whole throwing the net to catch fish was just awesome. Who could've known catching fish with a net was that hard? Oh Farmland, you never cease to amaze me. |

LOL I'm sure the sequel "Farmland Saga II: Return of the Wheat" will bring more epic farming drama to satisfy you. XD |

But there's hardly any manga that has the balls to show the reader a middle finger and go in its own direction. |

| Alright, the story's finally picking up again. As hilarious as Farmland Saga was, it's good to see Thorfinn finally buck up and a shocking new development to happen. Of course, history demands that they get off the farm, Thorfinn find a woman, and all of them sail to Vinland. |
 |
| LOL you guys are hilarious. It was a good chapter though. I enjoyed the philosophy. |
| horrible translation (using abbreviations ?? ) nice chapter tho, I enjoyed it. Quite sleepy so cba to go in-depth. |
| I hope he doesn't just stay looking like that for the whole series. He was badass before the stupid farm. |
| like a lot, hopefully we will get some action in next chapters. |
| Just read this plus 4 other chapters I queued up. I forgot how amazing this series was. Shame on people who "can't wait for some bloody action", sure, the setting has changed, but the consistency of quality has stayed constant. I kinda wished I had queued up one more chapter before reading this one, cliff-hanger!! |
| The new chapter is almost upon us, and I'm only now commenting on this one. Man... What can I say but another great chapter. Thorkell's dream, his discussion with Einar about Askeladd, and the scene at the beach, all made the chapter for me. There were a few interesting developments also, like the death of the almighty wheat, for one. I honestly shed a few tears. =( Vinland Saga needs more blood and boobs, though. =P I have to say I'm a little disappointed that Hox has stopped translating, all thanks to Mangastream. Despite MS's high quality scans, we're left with a subpar translation...and....this: Nice sky |
| You can do a lot of things, but you do not mess with a mans wheat! |
| "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 |
| Excellent! That was some character development. It was about time Thorfinn started reflecting. |
| Really really enjoyed the Thorfinn's development. Nooooo not the wheat! |
 |
| Is no one going to comment on how amazing the dream was drawn, like that movement of falling down the cliff was visually just so well depicted!! And different from most of you, I really enjoy where the plot and the character of Thorfinn are going, it reminds me a lot of the farming arc in Vagabond. I understand that it must have been hard to wait a month for irregular lengths and "unpredictable" content but the author is doing really great and going somewhere really good with this (in my opinion). I wish similar mangas could take the time to properly develop their main character like this or at least offer more realistic philosophical questioning, reflection when it comes to their human warrior characters. I have huge respect for Yukimura sensei, to try and construct an epic tale like this; risking to lose readers like the people who keep complaining in this thread, ultimately deciding not to sacrifice the quality of the story for more popularity. |
| Was getting kinda bored, but at least the story is progressing nicely now |
 |
| I guess it's time to retire from the farmland saga. |
 |
| This is better than the war arc lol |
| Glad that Thorfinn reflected on his past self. And damn, those fookers messed with the wrong field. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was a beautiful chap that line "Without hatred I am empty" hit me hard it was so simple yet beautiful and I am loving how Thorfinn is actually talking about his feelings calmly without getting angry as he used to. Also I think the thing he is missing is maybe going to Vinland |
 |
| Good wholesome chapter, but can't say the same about that devastated wheat. Someone will lose his cool. |
| amazing art this time, deep dialogues, essence of kino chapter + we fisherman now Women fear me, fish fear me, men turn their eyes away from me as i walk. No beast dare makes a sound in my presence; i am alone on this barren earth |
