This is a manga I've had my eyes on for a while to get into the medium. Viking-inspired, a story about navigating war, revenge, and what it means to live. It's right up my alley, and having finished the anime a couple weeks ago I couldn't wait any longer to dive in. I love the art style, and so far it appears the anime was faithful almost panel by panel to the manga which is great. I've got a decent amount of volumes to read up to what the anime has adapted, so I know I'll enjoy my time with this manga up to that point and I'm incredibly excited to see what happens beyond what I already know.
