Garm? Why I go so far as to say that any chapter is a good chapter that does not contain a panel of Garm. Even if it contains no other characters.

This was a very good chapter.

Bride's Story getting digital releases, 1-5 out now and 6-9 at end of October, which goes cleanly to the end of Pariya's story.
Vol 10 (Karluk Goes Camping up to Smith and talas' reunion) still slated for print release November, didn't see a date for digital but presumably will be close to concurrent?

I feel like the art is best appreciated in print on this one, but this is still great for me as I'm trying to keep my library portable right now.

It's not that the chapter was bad, it was really great. It's just that it's harder to appreciate month to month when it feels like we've been stuck at this gate with Garm chasing Thorfinn for what seems like half a year because we get about 10 pages a month. It's starting to feel like a slog and less like a climax to me. I'm sure it'll read amazingly when it's all released but that'll be a while.

In the meantime a pal of mine who hasn't read much manga (just Pluto) recently started Vinland as enjoying it a lot. I ended up rereading some chapters last night at random and will probably go with a full reread soon. Found this as a bonus in one volume though lol

Digital is better for series that really rely on spreads as not having the page broken gives you the full effect. I also agree that print is mostly better for this series but there are a few 2-pagers where the division got on my nerves. Nothing that was a deal breaker from purchasing though.

Reading about the Marcellus guy after the new Ad Astra and drat that guy WAS as much a badass as the manga makes him. Also makes me wonder if we are seeing Archimedes and the siege of Syracuse.

I love how you can still see that he's... struggling to put on this facade. Like, this is a thing Thorfinn is putting effort into, and it doesn't quite feel right to him.

Prediction: Miura dies before Berserks ends, spending his time on the more worthwhile pursuit of idol games and writing side mangas about girls pissing on burly men. Historie keeps fading into less and less completed chapters until we are just given doodles on a white page. Vinland Saga goes on to finish and have a successful anime. Kingdom will finish after Quin Shi Huang has killed a million men army on his own after a 10 volume long battle.

To be honest I don't think Garm is really worse than Thorkell; almost all criticism of him also applies to Thorkell. If anything there's the potential for something somewhat interesting with the various hints that he's acting out of some roundabout desire to be killed (rather than a sheer love of fighting/violence like Thorkell).

The difference is that Thorkell represents an ethos. He embodies the violent, tribalistic way of Viking life. He's outlandish, but he exists in a social context.

Garm comes off as just some random weirdo who's not connected or invested in anything.

Thorkell also isn't an rear end in a top hat about it. He wants to fight but if someone keeps trying to run away, he'd just shrug and go off to find some other opponent.

And he also acknowledges Thors's whole thing.

It's like, he doesn't get it, it's not for him, but yeah, there's clearly something there, and when a warrior finds it and goes for it over war, that's probably a good call for them.
