Vinland Saga remains one of the most underrated manga ever. It has exceeded the fans’ expectations, yet few people know its existence. The gripping storyline often questions the reality, and Thorfinn’s transformation over the years has been nothing short of a spectacle. The manga began in 2005 and is still going strong after 19 years.
Even though Vinland Saga is still going strong, it might not be long before everything concludes. Vinland Saga’s creator, Makoto Yukimura, has confirmed that his magnum opus is nearing its end. Fans were saddened to hear that Thorfinn’s journey would end soon. Even though its end is near, it might take a few more years for the manga to reach its conclusion.
Vinland Saga Fans Have More Time Left Than They Imagine
Vinland Saga creator Makoto Yukimura confirmed that he will be ending his magnum opus soon. Chapter 209: Thousand Year Voyage Part 18 is the latest chapter of the Vinland Saga. Since he is wrapping up his magnum opus, Makoto Yukimura might still have a few more chapters to shape the conclusion. Even though the fans are grief-stricken after hearing the news, they might end up having more time with the series than they initially intended.

The excellent historical Viking manga is celebrating its 19th Anniversary today!

The Seinen Magazine Monthly publishes Vinland Saga. But sometimes it takes 2-3 months to publish one chapter. So, even if a few chapters are left, it might take a few more years before it actually concludes. It is like Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. The manga is in its Final Arc, but it might take a few more years before Monkey D. Luffy actually fulfills his dream of becoming the King of the Pirates.
In November 2019, after the release of Vinland Saga‘s 167th chapter, Makoto Yukimura said he would like to wrap up the manga in the upcoming 50 chapters. Following his words, it might take more chapters to conclude the manga. With the current pace, it might take almost a couple of years before Thorfinn finds Valhalla. Ultimately, the ending depends on how fast the mangaka releases the chapters.
Fans Want To See Thorfinn Fulfil His Dream at the End of Vinland Saga
Thorfinn is the main protagonist of the Vinland Saga. His character development throughout the series has been spectacular. The shift from a high-spirited teenager to a calm and composed adult is marvelous. Throughout his adulthood, Thorfinn has always been less-spirited and refrains from choosing violence. Even after creating a masterpiece, Makoto Yukimura’s magnum opus is yet to win its first award at Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
The Weekly Shounen Magazine published Vinland Saga but shifted to the Seinen Magazine Monthly after a few months. The final arc is going on, and the last chapter was 209 on February 25, 2024. It has been a couple of months since the latest chapter was released. So, the next chapter might be right around the corner. It would mean one more step closer to the conclusion.
The fans know that everything must come to an eventually. But they are hopeful that their favorite protagonist will have his wish fulfilled by the mangaka. Even if the manga is over, fans can switch to watching the two seasons of the anime
Vinland Saga is available on K-Manga.
