November 2024 was a sad time for fans of the Vinland Saga Thorfinn 's story is nearing its end, with only a few chapters remaining. As readers prepare to say goodbye to this epic journey, one question arises: what comes next?
In a recent interview with French newspaper Le Figaro , Yukimura gave fans a glimpse into the future. The author confirmed that he already has ideas for a new manga, but this time, he's leaving the historical fiction genre aside to explore science fiction.
"I think I've already explored my interests in historical manga and prefer to venture into science fiction," Yukimura stated.
While details about the new work are still scarce, one thing is certain: it will be a radical departure from the Thorfinn saga. Yukimura, known for his intense battles and deep narratives, promises to deliver something equally impactful, but in a completely different setting.
A well-deserved rest for Yukimura
However, fans shouldn't expect this new project anytime soon. Yukimura admitted he's exhausted after more than two decades dedicated to Vinland Saga . "Right now, I don't feel like working much. Maybe I say that because I'm tired," the manga artist confessed. He made it clear that, even if he does return to work in the future, his next work will likely be shorter than Vinland Saga .
This news, while somewhat disappointing, underscores Yukimura's commitment to the quality of his stories. His weariness is understandable, considering the level of detail and research he dedicated to his most famous work.
The Legacy of Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga isn't just a manga; it's an experience that redefines the seinen genre. With a narrative that blends redemption, tragedy, and revenge, Yukimura created a story that challenges readers to reflect on human nature. His accurate depiction of the historical period, combined with captivating characters, has ensured the series has become a modern classic.
As the finale approaches, the impact of Vinland Saga will continue to resonate throughout the industry and in the hearts of fans. And while Yukimura rests, the community eagerly awaits his next work, which undoubtedly has the potential to become another milestone in the manga world.
