For over 20 years now, author Makoto Yukimira’s hit seinen manga Vinland Saga has thrilled audiences around the world with its philosophical and often subversive take on the concept of medieval epics. Set in the Viking Age, during the time of Danish conquests in the British Isles, Vinland Saga has plenty of gore and action — but it also has deep and resonant themes about revenge, forgiveness, and finding one’s own purpose in life.Any seinen manga/anime franchise can splatter blood all over the pages at swordpoint, but only an intricate and deceptively emotional series like Vinland Saga can keep viewers engaged with what happens between the battle scenes or even what happens instead of action sequences. Anyone who’s looking for a thought-provoking seinen story with gorgeous art and unexpectedly relatable characters is encouraged to dive right into Vinland Saga’s open arms.As a historical seinen anime series, Vinland Saga borrows from real-life history while filling in the missing gaps and tweaking other details to create a unique narrative to explore author Makoto Yukimura’s ideas. Some real-life Viking figures like Thorfinn Karlsefni, his wife Gudrid, Leif Erikson, and certainly King Canute of Denmark all appear, albeit only loosely based on their real-life counterparts. This adds substantial personal drama to their arcs throughout Vinland Saga and makes these people emblematic of themes that were largely absent in history. Thorfinn Karlsefni, for example, was mainly an explorer, but in Vinland Saga, he also explores his own soul and must dig deep to find his purpose and vanquish his inner demons.RELATED: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Where to Start, What to Know, and How to Watch
