Still, I feel that this choice is more adequate for this kind of exposition and going direct head in on a mission gets to be a better hook for the reader than the exposition of a familial life. By August 2022, Vinland Saga had over 7 million copies in circulation. The series won the Grand Prize of the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2009 and the 36th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga in 2012. Sherman, Jennifer (March 19, 2018).

Basically this volume covers Thorfin and group finally getting to vinland and beginning their quest to start a civilization free of war and death. This is pretty great change of pace, and watching Thorfin learn to trade with Indians while also building up his people's homes is great. There's some really great stuff in here, lots of thoughtful planning is put into how they began building up their villages work well.

As always the art and translation are great and I love reading the translator’s notes that are provided near the end of volume. Loo, Egan (August 20, 2018).

The depictions of Mi'kmaq characters and culture were made with the guidance of Beverly Jedore and Yolanda Denny of the educational organization Miꞌkmaw Kinaꞌmatnewey. The use of the Miꞌkmaq language was done with the assistance of Bernie Francis, a linguist and scholar who helped make the Francis-Smith orthography, the officially accepted orthography of the Mi'kmaq Grand Council. [33] The final story arc was heavily based on real-life events as Thorfinn meets the natives of Vinland. In August 2023, he was conflicted about how to make this arc look more hopeful.

While the Vikings are recognized as heroes, Yukimura wanted to explain the harsh realities of their era. Because of the harsh violence he witnessed, Thorfinn was always drawn with a serious facial expression in the first arc and pitied himself for his sins in the following arc. As a result, the character of Thorkell is characterized as more comical, making the battles more enjoyable to draw. Yukimura was often told by his editors not to draw Canute with a beard, as they claimed its interference with the bishonen archetype he represented would diminish the series' popularity. He rejected that idea, claiming that every man had a beard in that era. Conversely, Thorfinn becomes an adult in the second story arc, but he shaves his beard, as Yukimura did not want him to look strong. [29] I think the interactions with the Native Americans, which could have been really poorly done, were actually really great. They are given diverse goals and personalities. The depiction of their culture and language felt really well handled too. In the afterword, the author mentioned how he consulted with scholars and tribe leaders for the tribe depicted, which really paid off. Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc. August 22, 2022.
