I really don't see the whole real father thing being done at all. Just doesn't seem like it works.

And Askeladd was the biggest badass ever. His character might not be honorable in the strict sense, but he still has something that seems close. He really does what he believes in.

Given how dark and grim Vinland Saga is, she'll probably fall in love with Thorfinn and then shortly later be raped & murdered by raiders or the freed slaves, which will spark a thirst for revenge in Thorfinn and revive his fighting spirit.

For those waiting for Vinland Saga, there has been a few updates for Historie and Cesare. Cesare is up to chapter 16 and Historie is up to chapter 56.

New Chapter out! Sadly, my net is downloading at 7kb and it will take me 30 min. So it is now time to drool as each page slowly loads on OneManga.

This manga surprises me. So many entertaining pages from this short chapter, and god drat why must we wait so long for this quality?

I don't believe that for a second. I think he's going to kill the son of the rich land owner and have a sudden need to be somewhere else. What good luck there's a mercenary company just chillin' who will have very recently seen his skill at butchering morons!

I disagree- I think that arrogant son guy is way too dumb and annoying to be offed casually, to the contrary, he's being set up as a prime candidate for character development. My prediction: something will happen that will result in Thorfinn, New Guy, and Arrogant Son Guy going off on an adventure together.

...

Yeah, that's a terrible prediction, but the obvious route is a bit too obvious.

It's pretty obvious the kid is going to try killing either the guy or Thorfinn, and then Thorfinn will school him and then the guy will want Thorfinn to teach him or something.

There's gotta be some reason that Thorfinn is acting like he is now. I think he's gonna refuse to fight at first for some reason or another next chapter and we'll have to wait for another until he gets over it.

I don't see why it's a big mystery why he isn't fighting. He fought all his life and what did it get him? A dead dad and later, a dead dad. Whoopee! Dude's giving the peaceful life a shot, and more power to him for it.

It drat well better! I loved the fighting scenes, it was like Naruto but with out the gay. I'm also very pleased that those first 50 chapters were the prologue. It's nice to see a manga that doesn't embrace the 12 year old saves the world. 12 year olds were just the intro. But if this is released monthly doesn't that mean that the prologue lasted like 4 years?

Anyways I discovered this thread a few days ago and sped read through it. I can't wait for more to come!
