nihongo|"Vinland Saga"|ヴィンランド・サガ|Vinrando Saga is a Japanese historical manga series written and drawn by award-winning manga author Makoto Yukimura. The series is published by Kodansha, and was first serialized in the youth-targeted "Weekly Shōnen Magazine" before moving to the monthly manga magazine "Afternoon", aimed at younger adult men. As of August 2008, 45 chapters have been published, 42 of which have been compiled in six bound volumes.

"Vinland Saga" is set in Dane-controlled England at the start of the 11th century, and features the Danish invaders of England commonly known as Vikings. The story combines a dramatization of King Canute the Great's historical rise to power with a revenge plot centered on the invented character Thorfinn, a young noble from the legendary Jomsviking clan. The presentation and style of the series has been compared by reviewers to the more realistically grounded segments of Kentarō Miura's classic dark fantasy manga "Berserk".

Plot

"Vinland Saga" is set in England starting in 1013 AD, the year in which the Danish King Sweyn Forkbeard conquered most of the island. As King Sweyn nears death, his sons, Prince Harald and Prince Canute, are arguing over his succession. The story draws elements from historical accounts of the period such as "The Flateyjarbók", "The Saga of the Greenlanders" and "The Saga of Eric the Red".

The story opens with the introduction of a small Viking band led by a cunning commander named Askeladd and containing a gifted young fighter named Thorfinn. The band chances on a besieged Frankish fortress and makes a deal with the attacking army to work with them in exchange for half the fort's plunder. Askeladd then hoodwinks them, escaping with his men by boat with all the riches of the fortress while the army is still battering down the gates. Despite being a valuable member of the company, Thorfinn bears a deep grudge against Askeladd as Askeladd killed Thorfinn's father when Thorfinn was a young boy. The youth incessantly demands duels with his commander in an effort to get revenge, but invariably loses.

Askeladd's company finds employment as mercenaries in the Danish invasion of London. There they face off with a larger force led by Thorkell the Tall, a fellow Viking. Thorfinn and Thorkell meet in battle, and Askeladd's band flees from what they see as an unwinnable fight. The two forces meet again later, however, when both commanders seek to capture the young Danish Prince Canute. Askeladd succeeds in capturing the prince, but is forced once again to flee from Thorkell's larger army. The company takes refuge for the winter in the frozen north of England near the Danish encampment at Gainsborough.

Canute, who is found to be girlish in appearance, is incapable of speaking in public and heavily dependent on his caretaker Ragnar. This deeply disappoints Askeladd, who changes his initial plan of backing the prince as future king to a less ambitious plan of ransoming him back to his father, King Sweyn. A sudden attack by Thorkell's brigade forces Askeladd to change his mind, and he murders Ragnar in a last-ditch effort to force the Prince to become independent.

The plan is a success, and Canute's previous timidity is replaced with a strong kingly spirit. The prince brings both Thorkell and the remnants of Askeladd's forces under his command, and returns to the Danish headquarters. He there confronts his father, who had resolved to murder Canute and give the right of succession to his brother Prince Harald. Canute successfully matches his father in a battle of wills and his life is spared, but Harald remains the king's heir. Together, Canute, Thorkell, and Askeladd devise a plot to assassinate the king and seize the crown.

Characters

"Vinland Saga" contains a mixture of historical, apocryphal, and invented characters in its cast. The major characters are of Danish descent—Vikings brought to England to assist King Sweyn's invasion of the country. Most are prodigious fighters, and though none are explicitly superhuman, reviewers of the series have commented that they exceed believable human limits when in combat.

;Askeladd : Askeladd is commander of a small but powerful Viking band, which owes its success to Askeladd's exceptional intelligence. He is half-Danish and half-Welsh, being the son of a Welsh princess captured by a Viking raider. [cite book | last=Yukimura | first=Makoto | authorlink=Makoto Yukimura | title="Vinland Saga volume 4" | chapter=chapter 26 | publisher=Kodansha | series="Vinland Saga" |year=2007 | language=Japanese | isbn=978-4063144406] He believes in the legend of Avalon, which has inspired him to support Prince Canute's bid for kingship of the Danes. Ten years before the main "Vinland Saga" storyline, Askeladd accepted a contract to assassinate Thors, father of Thorfinn. He now manipulates Thorfinn's desire for revenge against him as a way of keeping the gifted young fighter in his service. Askeladd shares the name of Askeladden, a Norwegian folk character known for his cleverness.;Bjorn : Bjorn is Askeladd's second in command, a burly man who fights for the love of combat. He is a berserker, able to enter powerful rages through the consumption of certain mushrooms. Bjorn dies in Gainsborough from injuries sustained protecting Prince Canute. Bjørn is Danish for "bear", a given name commonly associated with Vikings.;Thorfinn : Thorfinn is a teenage warrior in Askeladd's company, though he hates his commander for slaying his father Thors and has sworn to kill him in a duel. To earn the right to engage in these duels, he must complete difficult feats for Askeladd, such as sabotage or the killing of enemy generals. Thorfinn is a Jomsviking noble through his mother Helga and inherited superb physical talents from his father. He does not fight for the love of battle, but is still prone to losing his composure when in combat. This hotheadedness often costs him battles against more experienced opponents. Thorfinn has no explicit historical basis.;Thors : Thors is the father of Thorfinn, a Jomsviking general whose phenomenal combat prowess earns him the epithet "The Troll of Jom". Thors grows weary of battle after the birth of his children, fakes his own death, and retires to become a pacifist farmer. The Jomsvikings later discover that Thors is alive and force him to return to the battlefield. Before he can arrive at the theater of war he is betrayed by a former comrade, Floki, who hires Askeladd to assassinate him. Like his son, Thors has no explicit historical basis.;Thorkell : Thorkell is another Jomsviking general, a giant man who loves combat so much that he defects from the Danish army to become a mercenary for the English, believing that fighting his fellow Vikings will give him a better challenge. This same love of war leads him to support Prince Canute's bid for kingship of the Danes. Before Thors' defection he works with and highly respects the man, and bears a fondness for his son Thorfinn in the main plot. He duels twice with Thorfinn and wins each time, though he loses two fingers in the first duel and an eye in the second. Thorkell's character is based on Thorkell the Tall, a historical Jomsviking lord who is a mentor to Canute in the "Flateyjarbók".;Canute : Canute is a 17-year-old prince of the Danes. He is initially portrayed as timid and womanly, with a bishōnen (pretty boy) appearance and inability to function without his retainer Ragnar. These traits, along with his strong Christianity, earn him the mockery of the Vikings with whom he works. After Ragnar's death, however, he has a sharp reversal of personality, becomes strong and kingly, and develops an ambition to create utopia on earth before God's return. Towards this end, he plots to overthrow his father Sweyn Forkbeard and take the crown of the Danes. Canute is based on the historical King Canute the Great, the most prominent Danish ruler of England.

Production

"Vinland Saga" began serialization in April 2005 in Kodansha's "Weekly Shōnen Magazine", where it ran until October of the same year. It then went on a two month hiatus, resuming serialization late December 2005 in the monthly seinen magazine "Afternoon", also owned by Kodansha. This switch was caused by author Makoto Yukimura, who found he could not keep up a long-term weekly production schedule.cite web|url=http://mangacast.net/?p=259|title=Valhalla, I am Coming...|accessdate=2008-08-26|author=Eduardo Chavez|date=2005-10-10|publisher=MangaCast]

In a January 2008 interview, Yukimura revealed that he was inspired to enter the manga industry by reading the manga "Fist of the North Star" as a boy. In the same interview, he said he had always wanted to produce a series which reflected the same themes of "strength and justice". [cite web|url=http://manganohi.jp/2008/01/9801.html|title=『幸村誠先生』 その1 まんが☆天国|accessdate=2008-08-29|date=2008-01-07|publisher=Manga Nohi] He has occasionally used "omake" (bonus) chapters and other supplementary materials to comment on the production of "Vinland Saga". In volume two, Yukimura's omake is about a research trip he took to Iceland in 2003 before beginning the series. [cite book|last= Yukimura|first= Makoto|authorlink= Makoto Yukimura|title= "Vinland Saga 2"|chapter= omake|publisher= Kodansha|series= "Vinland Saga"|year= 2005|language= Japanese|isbn= 978-4063144284] The author's commentary sections in volumes one and three both discuss Yukimura's desire to learn about and portray the daily lives of Vikings in addition to their wars and the events of historical chronicles. [cite book|last= Yukimura|first= Makoto|authorlink= Makoto Yukimura|title= "Vinland Saga 1"|chapter= author's column|publisher= Kodansha|series= "Vinland Saga"|year= 2005|language= Japanese|isbn= 978-4063144239] [cite book|last= Yukimura|first= Makoto|authorlink= Makoto Yukimura|title= "Vinland Saga 3"|chapter= author's column|publisher= Kodansha|series= "Vinland Saga"|year= 2006|language= Japanese|isbn= 978-4063144338] Yukimura is aided in drawing "Vinland Saga" by four known assistants: Haito Kumagai, Kazuoki Suzuki, Tomoyuki Takami, and Daiju Watanabe.

Reception

"Vinland Saga" has been commercially successful in Japan, with combined sales of 1.2 million copies for the first five volumes as of June 2008, [cite book | last=Yukimura | first=Makoto | authorlink=Makoto Yukimura | title=Vinland Saga 6 | chapter=Author's Column | publisher=Kodansha | series="Vinland Saga" | year=2008 | language=Japanese | isbn=978-4063145106] and several volumes appeared on the Taiyosha top ten best-selling manga list.

In English, because the manga is not licensed for publication, it is available only by unofficial scanlations (fan translations), a fact lamented by "The Comics Journal" in a 2006 article highlighting worthy unlicensed manga and scanlation groups. [cite web|url=http://www.tcj.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=430&Itemid=70|title=A Comics Reader's Guide to Manga Scanlations|accessdate=2008-08-26|author=Dirk Deppey|date=2006-10-13|publisher=The Comics Journal] Despite this, the series has attracted attention in the international manga community. The first volume was glowingly reviewed by "MangaCast" in 2005. This review praised "Vinland Saga" for its fluid action sequences, remarking how well author Yukimura made the transition to the action genre from his previous work "Planetes". The panel composition, realistically barbaric violence, and attention to detail in constructing the setting were praised and compared with those found in Kentarō Miura's long-running series "Berserk". The reviewer's primary criticism was that he found he had to suspend his disbelief more often than he would have liked to in a historical fiction series. In addition, he worried that the then-upcoming switch to monthly serialization would slow series production "to a crawl". A review by "Japanator" in 2007 again compared "Vinland Saga" to "Berserk", this time in narrative style, as well as mentioning similarities to Norihiro Yagi's monthly shōnen title "Claymore". This review lauded the improvements to the art detail that followed "Vinland Saga"'s serialization switch to "Afternoon", but claimed the "over-the-top" combat scenes detracted from the historical feel.

Manga

"Vinland Saga" is written and illustrated by Makoto Yukimura and published by Kodansha.

In December 2005, it moved to the monthly seinen (aimed at younger adult men) manga magazine "Afternoon". As of August 2008, chapters have been collected in six "tankōbon" (bound volumes). The first two volumes were initially released under the under the Weekly Shōnen imprint, and then reissued under the Afternoon imprint after the manga's serialization switch. The Afternoon reprintings feature redesigned covers, different author commentary in the jacket, and lack furigana. Volumes three and on have been released solely under the Afternoon imprint. Despite the variation in the number of chapters compiled into each volume, the page counts are all roughly the same, around 215 pages per volume.
