• Worldbuilding and Character Devlopment

Score: 10 (Masterpiece)

__A little bit of the plot:
__The world takes place in the war between Denmark and England. Our protagonist is Thorfinn, son of Thors. Thors was a badass viking who won a lot of battles to the end, understand that a warrior don't need a sword. After Thors death by Askellad, Thorfinn became a monster seeking for his revenge against Askeladd.

__This is the story of the first arc, i'll not mention the other ones like the farm or the seek for Vinland to improve your experience :)

So let's talk about character devlopment. The first characters that we need to analyze is our protagonist and our antagonist. Thorfinn is a child that wants his revenge at all cost, he abandoned his family and friends just to have a duel with Askellad. But Thorfinn also works with his own enemy in the war. He's a complex character cause he ignores everything that he learned about Thors ideals and in the future, after all of his sins, he decide to help people, creating a peace land that is Vinland.

We also have Askellad, that is my fav character in the story. He's the antagonist of Thorfinn's entire journey and he also have ideals about what is a man or what is revenge for him. He's always telling Thorfinn that his revenge would be totally useless if he don't think about what comes next or why the cycle of hate is never broke.

There's also another character that is important to have a mention like Einar, Knut, Halfdan or Sigurd. Knut is the Price of Denmark, son of King Sweyn of Denmark. He's one of the most incredible characters in the story beacuse of his evolution trought the plot and he's the character who intensifies the meaning of what is a man.

Einar is Thorfinn's Brother basically, in the farm arc they create a strong friendship bond. Halfdan is Sigurd's father. He's nickname is Iron Chain and he is a landowner and moneylender. He helps Thorfinn in the seek of Vinland. Sigurd has a incredible change after seeing what Thorfinn saw.

The Design And Art Of Expressions

Score: 10 (Masterpiece again, damn this s#it is perfect)

There's a lot of things that i should talk about this: Revenge, compassion, humanity, emptiness, redemption and aspiration love. Pointy weapons making minced meat of people. Every single one of this feelings and aspects are demonstrated by EXPRESSIONS and the entire DESIGN of the manga in general. The art of the manga is realistic and dark, to make it better to imagine. Also, there's a lot of violence of course, viking age bro.

Enjoyment and Why You Should Read

I confess that I don't like so much vikings and that kinda of stuff but with Vinland Saga it is...wow. Every single aspect is so interesting that I think it is impossible to get bored. The plot and the characters make the experience so enjoyable that you want more and more content about it.

__Final Score: 10 (Masterpiece again and again and again)
