The popular manga Vinland Saga, by Makoto Yukimura, may be nearing its end. According to recent information, the next chapter, scheduled for June 25th, could mark the conclusion of the series.

Event suggests official conclusion to Vinland Saga
Finally, the author was confirmed as a special guest at a symposium taking place on July 19th at Rykkyo University in Japan. The academic event focuses on the connections between medieval Icelandic literature and modern Japanese historical fiction—and the manga is mentioned as "a work that has reached its final chapter.".
Therefore, this description left fans apprehensive and, at the same time, excited about the possibility of witnessing the conclusion of Thorfinn's journey. Although Yukimura has not yet made an official announcement on social media, the way the narrative has been developing suggests that the end is near.
A milestone in the history of historical manga
Vinland Saga debuted in 2005 and quickly stood out for its historical depth and character development. With nearly 20 years of publication, Yukimura delivered a dense, emotional, and above all, coherent plot. Although some works extend their lifespan, the author always made it clear that he had a plan with a well-defined beginning, middle, and end.
However, fans can prepare themselves emotionally: the Viking era in manga may be about to end. And, most importantly, the impact that Vinland Saga has had on the historical genre is undeniable.
Furthermore, it is possible that new information will be released during the symposium, which may include comments from Yukimura himself about the series' ending and his upcoming projects.
