Vinland Saga 13 Hardcover – January 10, 2023

10/10

Series Info/Source: This is the 13th volume in the Vinland Saga Omnibus collection. I bought a copy of this book in hardback form.Thoughts: I don't have a ton to day about this volume. Vinland Saga remains one of my favorite manga series ever. These last few omnibus volumes have moved from action/adventure/politics to more of a "day in the life" type of story which isn't quite as exciting.This volume finds Thorfinn and crew finally traveling to Vinland. When they arrive there is a lot of work to do but one of the greatest challenges is communicating with the native people who live there already. You can tell the tension is building between the two parties, even though they are making a huge effort to live peacefully.I love that Thorfinn and his family are getting some peace and joy; Thorfinn really deserves this. This transition shows the growth Thorfinn has gone through from a hot-headed youth to an adventurous father. However, these last few volumes have been a lot less engaging and exciting than the earlier books in the series.I do continue to really enjoy the amazing illustration and the amount of time Yukimura spends delving into the history of the story. The inserts in between volumes showing a map of Thorfinn's travels and descriptions about what was happening historically at that time are incredibly well done.My Summary (5/5): Overall I really enjoyed this volume. This series has transitioned into more of a "day in the life of" type of story rather than a story driven by action and politics. I don't enjoy this format quite as much but I do continue to love the illustration and the detail to the historical aspects of the story. Vinland Saga continues to remain a masterpiece in the manga world and I plan to continue with the series.

Great condition

The series is great. This manga has it all. I would definitely recommend. The book came in perfect condition.

I have to start this review off by stating this is the first Manga to ever move me to tears. The final chapters of this volume just exemplify how hard Thorfinn has been trying to do things the right way. It’s a relatable tale of redemption the common man of today can relate to. It’s a story that honestly gives me hope that everything will be okay.
