His army starving for resources, King Canute schemes to confiscate Ketil’s farm. Ketil and his sons become fugitives, barely escaping the capital aboard Leif Ericson’s ship, but Canute follows in pursuit with his best men. Upon Ketil’s return, he finds his beloved slave Arnheid has helped her former husband, a runaway who has killed many of Ketil’s bodyguards, escape. Beset by betrayal on all sides, there may be no way out for Ketil, but Thorfinn finally has his freedom. Yet, the son of Thors feels bound to Denmark by his unfinished business with Canute… The characters are very well made and believable in their motivations, every one of them with a interesting and complex story arc. The whole picture of the story is more complex and well made than expected, with a bigger scope on events than you could think of at a first glance, with a lot of surprises at hand. Just saw two seasons of anime from this manga and at least the first one was not so far from being amazing. The manga has the same great art as the anime version and the only difference that I`ve found here is that it starts with another scene and timeline than the anime.

Still, I feel that this choice is more adequate for this kind of exposition and going direct head in on a mission gets to be a better hook for the reader than the exposition of a familial life. Arslan is the teenaged prince of the ancient kingdom of Pars who doesn't seem to have what it takes to be a great ruler like his father, Andragoras III. A fateful encounter with a slave from the neighboring country of Lusitania leads Arslan to question the world outside of the royal capital's walls but before he can indulge his curiosity, war breaks out. Arslan is rushed off to his first war, only to see his kingdom crumble in front of his eyes. This series of events leads the young Arslan on a journey to reclaim his lost kingdom. One day, high-school student Koyomi Araragi catches a girl named Hitagi Senjougahara when she trips. But -much to his surprise -she doesn't weigh anything. At all.

Vinland Saga Deluxe - Penguin Random House

From the pen of the author of the legendary Monogatari novels! The basis of an animated series, Katanagatari brings to life a swordless "swordsman" and a self-described "schemer" who embark on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Bad: The first half just kind of feels "been there" and not in a bad way but not all that interesting. I also thought the humor was more miss than hit, but that usually happens in manga for me. Kodansha is the biggest print manga publisher in the world, who republish their manga as part of Penguin Random House in the USA for the English-speaking market, including the Vertical imprint. Here are the Kodansha and Vertical February 2023 solicits and solicitations for April but actually out in July. But it seems that their Free Comic Book Day Gold title which was meant to include an adaptation of Netflix's Miraculous has been cancelled. So let's instead, begin with a whole lot of Vinland Saga by Makoto Yukimura, now in Deluxe format. From the James Tripee Award Winning author, Fumi Yoshinaga, comes a casual romance between two 40-year-old men and the many meals they share together. A hard-working middle-aged gay couple in Tokyo come to enjoy the finer moments of life through food. After long days at work, either in the law firm or the hair salon, Shiro and Kenji will always have down time together by the dinner table, where they can discuss their troubles, hash out their feelings and enjoy delicately prepared home cooked meals!Mona is the cutest girl in school, and she knows it. In fact, she's worked hard to make her high school debut succcessful. But no matter what she does, she can't seem to catch the eye of stone-cold stoic Medaka Kuroiwa-but she's not about to give up that easy. Medaka, on the other hand, has been raised at a temple as a monk and was told to never become close to women. Who will win in this heated battle of wills? I loved the last quarter of the story. It really pulled on my heartstrings and I felt so much emotion for Thorfinn's loss. Yoi Takiguchi's long legs, deep voice, and handsome face are the perfect recipe for an attractive guy-until people realize she is, in fact, a girl. Dubbed a "prince" by her peers since childhood, Yoi has all but given up on being seen as anything else. That is, until she bumps into Ichimura-sempai, the school's other prince (who's a he) and gets a taste of what it feels like to be seen for her true self. The story of the two high school princes starts here!
