Vinland Saga

ヴィンランド・サガ

In Vinland Saga, Thorfinn, the son of a legendary Viking warrior, becomes a formidable fighter in the mercenary group led by the cunning Askeladd. Though still young, Thorfinn stands out not for greed but for his desire for revenge against Askeladd for a devastating act that destroyed his family. Unable to defeat Askeladd yet unwilling to abandon his vendetta, Thorfinn spends his youth among the war-hungry Danes, honing his combat skills on battlefields where death is often treated as mere entertainment. When news reaches Askeladd that Danish Prince Canute has been captured, he sets in motion a complex scheme that could decide the future king of England and profoundly affect the lives of Thorfinn, Canute, and himself. Set in 11th-century Europe, Vinland Saga unfolds a violent story in an era of relentless bloodshed, chaos, and cruelty, offering a haven for those who thrive on conflict and a living nightmare for everyone else.
