Humans live their lives with an unfulfilled feeling, a desire to wander through the dusty cobbled streets of a fictional land or to explore the vast expanse of the unknown seas. The thirst for adventure is rooted deep within our souls and whether we are aware of it or not, we have a yearning to leave everything behind and answer its call.
But it is not always possible to go behind our whims whenever we feel like it. We have shackles binding us to our roles and responsibilities and it is not easy to break free. What we can do instead is immerse ourselves in a good story and escape into fantasy land whenever we feel like it.
Vinland Saga is written and illustrated by Makoto Yukimura and there are 26 tankobon volumes of the manga. It is currently ongoing with 199 chapters released to date. Chapter 200 is coming up and before we disclose the release date for it, let’s dive into a short synopsis of the story.
A young Thorfinn has only heard of the warm and green lands of Vinland and he grew up dreaming about it as his current life is spent in a place completely different. It was cold and violent in Iceland and he led a hard life as a mercenary. Fighting and war had become commonplace in his life but Thorfinn longed for more peaceful days.
It was a period of intense war and struggle between England and Danes where there was death and destruction all around. But violence was the language of the Vikings and they reveled in it. Thorfinn had a task to complete. His father was murdered by the Viking, Askeladd, in cold blood.
Now Thorfinn works under him all in the name of getting revenge by killing the man who killed his father and afterward, escape his life of violence and seek lasting peace.

Vinland Saga Chapter 199 Recap
Most of the men are taking part in the construction of the outer wall of Arnheid’s village laying aside their farm work. Thorfinn and Einar are working on the farms and Einar asks Thorfinn a question. He asks what if Ivar and the others are right and a war with the Lnu breaks out. He asks Thorfinn what he will do in that case.
He asks Thorfinn whether he will run from this place to somewhere else. Einar asks this because he loves the place and doesn’t want to leave it behind. Throfinn replies that there can’t be a war and that he will do everything he can to keep it that way. He says that the most important thing is to open dialogue with Miskwekepu’j.
He says that he will definitely find a compromise everyone can agree on. Einar asks him if he thinks Miskwekepu’j will let them remain on this land. Thorfinn tells that that was precisely what he was going to negotiate- a path to coexistence. A young boy playing in the grass mentions that Hild said the same thing Thorfinn did about the war.
When they enquired to know more, he said that Hild was going to defeat the cause of war. The boy said that Hild was smart and strong and that war was nothing to her. Meanwhile, Ivar, Styrk, and Ganglati are scouring the western part of the forest to reclaim it.
Suddenly Ganglati steps on a trap and is hoisted up a tree. They realize it was one of Hild’s traps. They thought she set it to capture animals. As Styrk was talking to Ivar, the two of them suddenly realise that Styrk was halfway inside the mud. It was another trap set up by Hild. Styrk tells Ivar to run as it was not a trap for animals but for men.
