Vinland Saga is a phenomenal piece of Viking fiction - packed in equal measure with kinetic violence and beautiful humanity. Over its fifteen years in publication, mangaka Makoto Yukimura has given us one of the medium's best works - one that has truly earned the saga of its title. Vinland Saga was originally recommended to me during 'Patron Picked Purchases' over at the Beyond Ghibli Patreon - an annual event where I'll read and review a manga of your choice! For the month of March we're doing PPP again, and anyone who pledges $5 or more can do just that. It's part of a pledge drive to tip us over the edge of a stretch goal we've been on the cusp of for ages - a deep-dive into all things Full Metal Alchemist. So if you want me to read your favourite, consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BeyondGhibli The manga section in the middle of the video was edited by the talented Lines in Motion - a wonderful manga and anime analysis channel that you should absolutely check out!!
