About The Story

The TV anime “Vinland Saga” is based on the manga series of the same name by Makoto Yukimura, which is being serialized in Kodansha‘s Weekly Shōnen Magazine from April 2005 (the series later got transferred in Kodansha’s seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon on December 24, 2005). As of 2021, the cumulative circulation of volumes has exceeded 5.5 million, and the latest volume, Volume 25, The Story of a Real Warrior (Saga), which depicts the growth and frustration of the Viking boy Thorfinn, will be released on July 21st.

In 2012, the manga won the 36th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga. It also received the Grand Prize in the manga division of the Japan Media Arts awards in 2009.

Kodansha USA describes the story as:

As a child, Thorfinn sat at the feet of the great Leif Ericson and thrilled to wild tales of a land far to the west. But his youthful fantasies were shattered by a mercenary raid. Raised by the Vikings who murdered his father, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band’s leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father. Sustaining Thorfinn through his ordeal are his pride in his family and his dreams of a fertile westward land, a land without war or slavery … the land Leif called Vinland.
