Shorter than I expected, but still, releases of Vinland Saga are always a good thing. Not surprised that Thorfinn didn't react at all to Leif. And, as always, Askeladd is awesome.

Brawling is not the only form of warfare indeed. Love all this intrigue. I will say, for half a second I was preparing a "well that's not historical" post in my mind after they revealed Canute was a woman... but then I remembered they still hadn't shown the person's face and it all made sense. I did like how that one random guy shouted that he'd always suspected the prince was a woman within earshot of the actual prince. Heh.

Sort of weird that chapters 49 + 50 came out fairly concurrently and were basically half chapters anyway. Thorfinn is REALLY starting to go off the deep-end, holy crap.

It's been many chapters now since his transformation, but the prince turning from an autistic pussy into the badass motherfucker that he is now is probably one of the most impressive character development I've ever seen.

It's major character development but I don't really know if it was pulled off that well. The change seemed fairly arbitrary and an asspull - the explanation for it, anyway. The development was foreshadowed, the actions are impressive, and it fits well in the story, but I'm still bothered by it because it was so sudden and caused by a really dumb thing.

If this is still the general historical manga topic, quite a few new chapters of Historie are out, though it looks like they're using the sketchy (literally) magazine version. We also finally learn what anyone who had enough historical knowledge to know how many eyes King Phillip of Macedon had already guessed- that one fellow from the first scene of the manga was in fact King Phillip, conqueror of Greece, father of Alexander the Great. It looks like Eumenes' real adventures are about to begin. (It just blows me away- if there was any one person in history I'd want to see a manga about, it'd probably be Eumenes of Cardia... and drat, someone is making a manga about him.)

cooldude2.0 posted:You cost me a good night's sleep but it was worth it. It was really only chapter 43 that had sketchy art but at least it didn't drop to anywhere near Hunter X Hunter levels. 43 was sketchy because they translated the "magazine release" version. The ones that were scanned before were volume releases that were redone.

Well wouldn't you know- they guy who's translating Historie is also doing Vinland Saga now. You can find chapters 51 and 52 of Vinland Saga here. As for comment on the chapters, I don't think I can say any more than... holy crap this is awesome!

MegaCharger posted:Holy gently caress I did not see that coming. Of course, that makes some sense. As far as I can tell, Askeladd is a fictional character... "Lucius Artorius Castus" is thought to be the basis of the King Arthur legends, but he lived in the second century AD... (For the record, the latest chapter took place on February 3, 1014 AD.) Actually... considering what happened historically after this (check Wikipedia if you want to be spoiled), and Askeladd's goals... I'm pretty sure I know what's going to happen. This is going to be fun. Edit: Wait... (Historical spoilers) Thorfinn Karlsefni lead his expedition to Vinland in 1010... four years before Sweyn's death. Oh well. They still got Canute's story right, so I still think they'll do what I think. They just pushed Thorfinn's expedition back so he can take part in these events. I really should have realized that a while ago... Eiba fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Feb 28, 2009 |

Is this a monthly manga or has everything been released and we're just waiting on the translators to get this poo poo out? I'm willing to become a cleaner for whatever group is doing this just so we can get more of this.

I'm really nervous about how Yukimura is going to handle the resolution of the Thorfinn/Askeladd conflict, simply because I don't give a toss about Thorfinn, while Askeladd's crafty old bastard act is just too much fun.

I haven't gotten this link specifically to work, but it should be the latest chapter. Thorfinn's face on the final panel neatly mirrored my own at that point. Holy poo poo indeed! Needless to say... I completely did not see that coming! Historical spoilers and speculation: In case anyone was wondering, the English king (Ethelred the Unready) is going to take this opportunity to return from Normandy, and Canute will leave without contesting England- he'll be back with Thorkell the Tall by his side a few years later to kick rear end and build an empire. With Askeladd out of the way, Thorfinn has no reason to stick around (unless his grudge shifts to Canute by the transitive property), so I'm not sure if we'll be be seeing all that in this manga, but I guess we could as Thorfinn is much to young yet to lead an expidition to Vinland. The other possibility is that we'll be seeing a time skip before he heads off to Vinland, where a lot more asskicking awaits (though it'll be hard to match Askeladd's story). Either a time skip or he has mostly unrelated adventures for a while... though I can't think of any notable wars going on at the time off the top of my head. Of course, I had it pegged that Askeladd would run off and join Ethelred's faction, and Thorfinn would stick with Canute as they fought to reconquer England and kill Askeladd... we all know how that turned out, so perhaps I'm not good at predicting these things.
