Another forum member told me about this manga but this thread finally pushed me to start it. I'll be damned if I didn't just spend 4 hours being completely engrossed with the story. Can't wait to get caught up.

Yeah, waiting for new chapters of this is gonna suck. I'm really liking the story and Askeladd's plan in general. The Prince is a character that I think has a lot of promise and I'm warming up to him. Overall, though, my favourite character is Thorkell. Besides the fact that he can sink boats and spear entire ranks from a few hundred yards away, the writers have made great use of his character with all the plot development he provides/the way he provides it.

telcontar posted:Yeah, Thorkell is my favorite too. He's always doing something hilarious or badass (or both). Wow. If Wikipedia is a reliable source, this manga seems to be sticking to the facts quite nicely. Looking up Canute, it lists Thorkell as his teacher in matters soldiery. If nothing else, I'm learning more about this time period than I ever thought I would.

Forest Fuckery posted:I'm really torn on this manga. I'm fine with the "stupid" fights (I don't think they are, but that's your opinion) because they have been used to explain character motivations/backgrounds. The fights allow for development of the story in a manner that is interesting to read. I don't think I'd really care about Thorfinn's past as much if it wasn't being told while a giant of a man was mercilessly mocking him and beating the living daylights out of him. The story Thorkell tells also has a direct bearing on the fight itself, so in all, I don't view anything about the situation as stupid or "loljapan". As for Bjorn, I don't think the berserker will be brought down this early or that easily.
