Vinland Saga.

Blood, violence, heroical acts, men out of ordinary, mythical lands, there are all the recipes for a great manga in Vinland Saga, eccept that is all real (or realistic)
Vinland is a manga that will not make you feel bored at all, but all the context is historically set in the middle age northen europe, when the vikings were the rulers of the sea and of the destiny of whole nations, and reading the pages of the manga you will meet many historical people that have put their names in the legend, such as Leif Eriksson, Canute I of Denmark, the Jomvikings (wolves of the north) and so on.
Also the places are real and the scenes move from the idilliac and hostile Iceland untill the bloodied battlefields of the XI century England.
For sure the scenes of violence and battle will disturb the guts of many, but in the end the historical accuracy of this manga comes from also by the harshness of the stories told.
Those were years in which the very heart of europe was forged by the fire of war and tempred by the blood of many warriors, proud to give their lives for their land or Gods and reach the valhalla, the nordic pagan vertion of the paradise.
Was a time in which the very spirit of europe was forged and that saw the rise of the first (and still most powerfull) nations of the old continent.
The only misfortune for all my connationals is that the only vertions avaible of this manga, both on the internet and printed, are written still in japanese or english, but it worth the effort to read this manga, also to see a piece of history that usually is never remembered.
