WTF.

A MANGA.

ABOUT VIKINGS.

HOLY CRAP THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST AWESOMELY HARDCORE THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

AND IT'S HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.

HOLY LIVING COW I'VE GOT TO GET THIS.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Just one of many awesome things you learn by reading this site.

I'm going to keep my eye out for Vinland Saga, too.

I loved this manga, but I haven't seen a new scan of it out in months. I know it updates infrequently, but surely there are new chapters out by now?

Necro'd. I'm on chapter 4. When does it go Seinen? Cuz I'm a bit unimpressed as of yet (I'm not trolling).

It started in mud, as many things do.

After the first two volumes, I believe. The shift is more a matter of art than writing or content though. If you don't like it four chapters in, it's probably just not the manga for you.

That page quote for Vinland Saga always makes me laugh. As well as that other one from Norse Mythology.

I was rather impressed by Canute's metamorphosis. Took a Level in Badass indeed.

Just hoping that it isn't a Heel–Face Turn, however.

Nah, he gets people beheaded for Pillage And Rape, I think he's still nice...

Well since the manga does have a historical basis, you can always just look at his article for some insight on how his character is going to develop.

So, He's going to marry Athelred's widow? I wonder how they'll handle that in the comic.

Also, he has a creepy smile in that last page...

@Hydrall: don't think so. Check the last sentence of the introduction in her wikipedia article.

Well, that chapter was a darn interesting history lesson.

Now, I just hope that we can go back to a certain broken slave boy who was supposed to be the main character.

Yeah, I have a feeling Thorfinn might not be too pleased with this development, for some reason. I just know that those two'll end up fighting before this is over. Who else could provide dramatic tension? Unless I forgot someone...

Going by history, several people will provide enough conflict for Canute.

He doesn't really need to fight Thorfinn.

I don't think Canute is going to be simply a B Story from here now on. Thorfinn's going to interact with him in some way.
