Vinland Saga 1

A great manga! It’s pretty violent and graphic, so it’s definitely more adult oriented, but it tells a GREAT story and it’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL, both visually and written. Would recommend if you’re looking for some adult centered manga

First of all, the quality of the product is very nice. I love the hardcovers, the pages are high quality and I’ve been able to read the entire series without even creasing the spine while also being perfectly ergonomic for books with 300-400 pages. They have taken top shelf to my manga display and it’s AMAZING for the price point, I mean you just can’t beat it. Secondly, the content is just GOATED to be real. The story is just hands down amazing, Vinland Saga is a top tier shounen series and I highly recommend it to anyone. The translation is on point, the art is immaculate, character development and the relationships you develop with characters can be honestly goosebump worthy. I turned into a HUGE fan and I will probably reread it over and over. So if you’re looking for a new series to get into please let it be Vinland Saga! I promise you will not be disappointed! On top of that, the shipping is really quick, you won’t have to wait long.

Love the way the story plays out. Showing the start and then brining it back all the way around. Can't wait to see where they go in the 2nd volume and other characters introduced and the ones we've met gettin fleshed out more. Really enjoy it and very different for a manga in the sense it's about vikings and Iceland and England

It came in perfect condition, brand new. No scratches, stains, not even a single piece of dust on it. It’s so spotless in fact that I had to dust and clean out my entire bookshelf just to place it on it. Will definitely be reading it soon, and will be buying the next couple of copies as well. As for the story? Well, I’ve already watched both seasons of the anime and I can assure you this manga is absolutely life changing. It’s beautiful, one of a kind. It’s worthy of reading a thousand times.

This is my first dive into Vinland Saga and I'm already hooked, it's a nice change of pace from the usual shonen that take place in and around Japan. It's heavily Norse inspired so if you have even the slightest clue about Norse Mythology or are interested in Vikings this will probably scratch that itch for you. I don't know much more than that, this is my first time reading it and I'm only maybe 2 chapters in at time of writing. My only complaint, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the contents manga, Amazon doesn't really take proper care of making sure books don't shift around inside the box or get dinged up during transit. The bottom right corner of my manga is bent in a little and the top of it has a cut right in the top almost like a small flap. It's a little upsetting but the inside of the book isn't damaged at least. I'm lenient with these kinds of things but other people might not be, so just a word of warning.

To keep things short and sweet, "Vinland Saga Vol. 1" definitely has my attention. It's a strong start to the story, likeable characters, strong character development, & the art is absolutely gorgeous. What more could a person really ask for? So far it lives up to the hype.

My first impression was that the book quality is stellar. This is a hardcover omnibus with nice paper and a very cool cover; you can see that the primary colors just pop! Like other medieval, sword-swinging manga, it starts slow with a focus on action. Fight scenes are clear and easy to follow, and the combat is competent. The story develops as a historical epic about Vikings and a philosophical tale of war, slavery, and vengeance. Thorfinn crazes for revenge in a stark contrast to his father Thors, who has come to believe we have no enemies. Since Thors is a foil to our main character, he drives many of the ethical questions throughout this book, and I find him to be the chief page-turner. I highly recommend this to fans of historical fiction and warrior stories, and I am excited to jump into the rest of the adventure.

I've bought this manga in two different occasions as a gift. I really like the story and I recommended without a second thought.
