Yes this manga is amazing, and what my little head could put into words would only reinforce that. The story is dark, brutal and very well written. Since chapter 1 the characters in Vinland Saga are amazing. However through recent chapters the character writing have went down into decline. This is because I feel like what the writer is currently doing is just introducing too many characters and is not fleshing them out and giving them good enough of a personality some of them are feel like cardboard cut outs especially the ones of Thorfinn's group for some exceptions of course. But overall I think everyone should read this.
