Même après 18 tomes ce manga reste superbe autant par son graphisme que pour son histoire, un plaisir de retrouver notre héro et sa petite bande.

Mist, jetzt bin ich up to date und muss mit allen anderen auf die Fortsetzungen warten XD

Thorfinn's adventures continue and Hild is with them now, he recovers but then his past comes back in the form of Thorkell and Floki and they want him to lead the Jomsvikings as he is of the proper age and qualifications until he declines and kinda leaves the place but men of Floki are after Thorfinn so he has to evade them and somehow get free until he is met by Eskil and Wrage, Vagn's men which seems like the next big arc. Good volume and has some interesting fights and philosophical questions but the art is just too good, detailed and layered and we continue Thorfinn's mission of Vinland.

Un volume niente male, devo dire che questo risvolto è interessante e inaspettato.
Molto curiosa di sapere cosa succederà ora che Thorfinn è stato messo alle strette, si prospetta un arco narrativo ricco di colpi di scena.

Its hard for a wolf to live among the sheeps. Thorfin's heritage know haunts his quest of self redemption.

[Ignacio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Así como todo lo que rodea a Hildr y lo que despierta en Thorfinn me interesa, no tengo del todo claro si la entrada del rollo de Floki y su hermandad haga avanzar la historia en la misma manera. Supongo que, también, porque quiero que vayan al oeste y, en vez de eso, esto cada vez va más hacia el este.

Vinland Saga Volume 18

حتی وقتی می‌خواد زندگی صادقانه و آرومی داشته باشه بازم گذشته‌اش اجازه نمیده...یعنی...امکان داره یه نفر به همچین مهمی برسه؟
هیچکس نمیتونه کاملا گذشته‌اش رو کنار بذاره...

Oh, Thorfinn! Stay strong! Lots of amazing philosophical discussions as well as some great scenes with old favorites like Thorkell.

[nush ❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

FINALLY THORKELL (best girl) SHOWS UP. oh how ive missed him and his Horny for War™ shenanigans. the thrills keep on coming, y'all. it's so riveting to watch how thorfinn wants to become a better person and actively choose not to be violent but be tested at every single step of it. will he persevere or will he give in? i am so fucking stoked to find out.

also the art??? literally UNPARALLELED. one of the best art styles in manga that i have ever come across. the detail, the intricacies, the character design — simply fucking breathtaking. for the art alone it deserves ∞ stars.

Finally we see some action

It's funny that in my early teens I thought torkell was an interesting and complex character lol that's so sad omg

[Jelka · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wait Thorfinn and Floki never met?
Anyway not happy about Floki and Thorkell being back in the story.

You cannot simply run away from your past. This volume is so hardcore, I can feel the frustration myself.

l’évolution de thorfinn: je PLEURE

[N.E.C.C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Everything seems to happen to poor Thorfinn, not only his past but now his heritage hunts him.

Not as good as volume 17 but i enjoyed it a lot, the comedy was on point and the fight scenes were really good, nice to see a little bit of the old Thorfinn again.

It's nice to see old characters come back to the scene and see how they are doing in times of peace. Thorkell, my man, you are amazing xD.

[Angelika · Rating 4 out of 5]

That chapter with Thorkell suffering from peace was the funniest shit ever, dude xDDDD He never fails to crack me up. Must be the first time a manga has made me laugh so much.

I guess Thorfinn gets to fully comprehend now his father's struggle and why he chose to sacrifice his life that fateful day. It's sad that his sacrifice still wasn't enough, it didn't bring closure – Thorfinn's still not free from the Jomsviking's bullshit just because it so happens that Thors' blood flows through his veins.

More than that, poor fella is also getting that Prince Canute treatment, as opposing fractions of a brand new succession conflict are trying either to get him killed or to use him as a pawn in their game. I honestly didn't see it coming. Who'd ever guess that out of all people Thorfinn would find himself in this position? Well, Askeladd, of course xD He was the first one to point out Thorfinn's high rank, I think he realised the ramifications.

Btw, I'm just wondering now how is it possible that Sigvaldi didn't interfere with his grandson's slavery sentence?

Floki finally gets a bit humanised. Up to this point he was just an ordinary villain who works behind the curtain to protect his own interests. We didn't get to see that much of what kind of person he is deep down. And it turns out he's just insecure, as I suspected. Thors was making him uneasy. I kinda feel for him: I know what it's like to struggle with the inferiority complex, it does make you one hell of a shitty person.

I'm curious whether Thorfinn will be able to liberate himself from his past and the bloodline ties. The plot thickens yet again.

The development of Thorfinn and Hild continues to be exceptionally very good, the dynamic between them continues to keep my interest as Thorfinn wants to leave his past behind but this past doesn't seem to want to move away from him, I think we are starting to see Gudrid's romantic feelings towards Thorfinn? If so, I don't blame her, Thorkell and Floki return they are good characters but I hope they don't delay the story because I already want the expedition to go west.

El desarrollo de Thorfinn y Hild sigue siendo excepcionalmente muy bueno, la dinámica entre ellos sigue manteniendo mi interés ya que Thorfinn quiere dejar su pasado atrás pero este pasado parece no querer alejarse de él, creo que estamos empezando a ver sentimientos románticos de Gudrid hacia Thorfinn? de ser así pues no la culpo, vuelven Thorkell y Floki si son buenos personajes pero espero que ellos no hagan retrasar la historia porque ya quiero que la expedición vaya hacia el oeste.

Con Thorfinn ferito, trascorre l'inverno a Bergen, in Norvegia. Ma in primavera si raggiunge Yellingf con Hilde che si è unita al gruppo. Qui Thorfinn viene riconosciuto come figlio di Thors e c'è il tentativo di usarlo nellas guerra civile dei Jomsvichinghi che vede Floki, che vorrebbe fare il reggente del nipote, contro un altro capo. Ovviamente anche Thorkell è parte della guerra del Baltico. Thorfinn fugge e dà appuntamento agli altri ad Odense.
3 stelle e mezza.

[Sebastian Rodríguez Rivera · Rating 5 out of 5]

De lleno de regreso a la gran política, planteando el dilema de la violencia justificada o no justificada, así como los límites del pacifismo. A partir de aquí, gran parte de la dinámica será estirar la paciencia y templanza de Thorfinn para explorar hasta donde es capaz de llegar de manera lógica y verosímil el pacifismo; así mismo, explora los límites de la violencia sin sentido y de la violencia política.

[Kaoyi · Rating 5 out of 5]

¡El nivel sigue siendo el mismo o sube , sin duda va estar en mi top 5 de mejores mangas que he leído en mi vida!.

Amo a todos los personajes sin excepción, están muy bien construidos. Vaya joya de manga.

[F. A. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thorfinn meets Thorkell again and his father's real killer Floki for the first time(he's still unconscious about that). Thorfinn split up with his crew after being chased with Floki's warships, he and Hild are trying to get loose of the persuers.

[grimbamreads · Rating 4 out of 5]

the weakest of the eastern expedition arc so far, but still rich in character moments and development. thorfinn's character just keeps getting elevated to the next level and clearly there the consequences of his past and who he is in the present is catching up to him way more now

[Sophie Ginisty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Du bon, du bon et encore du bon! Thorfinn arrivera t- il un jour à échapper à sa vie de guerrier?
