Bumping this thread to see if anyone here gave it a chance. MS recently released five new chapters, and they were darn good.
I'm really liking this manga, the art is very clear, and the character designs are pretty good... especially the facial expressions.
I've been liking it, but the chapters are released slow enough that I've started to lose where the series started from. The flashback is great, but I've somewhat lost the connection with the present where the manga started.
Good Viking badass action, especially from his father.
Oh. Planet ES? Ok.. I'll go download it now.
Holy Cow. It's damn good. Why no one noticed this series before?

No one noticed it before because no one listens to me.Originally Posted by Stoopider
When you first posted it I needed to hear only two things to read it, Vikings and that there were more than 5 chapters released. Nothing major really happened until MS released this new batch.
Yes this is a nice manga I been following with it since Bud first posted about it really liking the Viking action and art and yeah it was slow releases but that five chapter release was great!

I decided to take a look at this series and just finished reading volume 2. It seems like most people aren't reading this one, so I'll also echo Bud and Stoopider and strongly recommend it. I ended up reading all 16 released chapters in one sitting - the manga is that good, it'll draw you in. Berserk fans will definitely like this series, just to give it a point of reference.
It's a bit of a shame that the releases will come slowly. A Question: When MangaScreeners writes that the author switched to the monthly seinen magazine, does that mean one chapter per month and therefore about 8 months per volume release? How much material (approximately) is inserted into a monthly magazine?
-Story stuff- :
I'm really liking Askeladd's "strong guy who jokes around" personality even though it's a formula that's been used many times. The guy's pretty evil, but the charm he has helps the reader root for his group.
Thors has also made an impression on me. He really seems to have the wisdom of an old man coupled with the strength of a top warrior. Thorfinn's inability to understand what his father was all about is what will drive the story. But before he reaches that point, we get to see him kicking ass and decapitating heads =)
Eagerly looking forward to chapter 17 and beyond...
Yeah, I like Askeladd as well. Funny guy, good fighter. This manga reminds me abit of "13th Warrior" and "Eric the Viking". About crazy vikings going off on their ship to the unknown seas for happy plunder.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
