Critic Reviews

“"Gripping doesn't begin to describe Vinland Saga. 5 stars." -ICv2 "The art is gorgeous, a combination of beautiful cartooning and realistic backgrounds. Yukimura is also a master of pacing, both in frenetic battle scenes and charged emotional moments." -Faith Erin Hicks "Deeply engrossing... If you have any interest at all in Vikings, the Medieval period, or pirates, this is not a series you want to miss." -Anime News Network "For those who love Berserk, you'll love this too." -Manga Bookshelf”
