Bello, bello, bello.
Ho sempre visto questo manga nella libreria in soffitta ma non mi ci sono mai avvicinata ma, finalmente, ho recuperato il primo volume!
Un po' mi ha riportato nell'atmosfera della serie tv Vikings (che adoro) e, anche per quello, sono rimasta molto contenta della lettura. Per ora ho letto poco e non posso dire molto ma, sia i disegni che la storia mi stanno piacendo molto, quindi sono molto curiosa di continuare. u.u

5/5

Wasn't for me!

My first back to front Manga, and it was good. There were a few things I could have done with out. But a story about Vikings is always fun. The dad was big and strong, and reminded me a lot of the Dad from Game of Thrones. So that was enjoyable to read. The second half of the book just flew by because of how intense it was.

Once in a while you come across a story that just clicks all the buttons. Whether it be story, characters, art work, themes, or the unexplainable feels. Vinland Saga is one of those.

Back in the days, humans saw the world as vast, and the oceans as an insurmountable obstacle, beyond which lay nameless horrors, but with it hope and possibilities.

This tale captures that feeling of being stuck in a never ending downward spiralling cycle of war, and those few to dare to try and reach for something better, something different.

In doing so, it is part of a niche collection of works that make you sit up and take notice, and worse turn around the mirror and force you to reevaluate the life you're leading. And the burgeoning weight of centuries and the countless souls who lived and perished in it's thrall.
