How close are we to the end?
Summary:
- There are currently 209 Vinland Saga manga chapters.
- They are released every 1-2 months.
- The manga is in the final arc right now.
The Vinland Saga manga series is written and illustrated by Makoto Yukimura and started its serialization in the Weekly Shounen Magazine back in 2005.
The manga is still ongoing, so you won’t find all the answers to the questions that the first two seasons of the anime left you with. However, the finale might be closer than you think.
How long is the Vinland Saga manga?
As of right now, there are 209 chapters in the Vinland Saga manga. The latest chapter was released on February 25, 2024. Chapters come out once a month, on the 25th, and sometimes there are longer breaks between them, so get ready to wait for two months sometimes if you want to read the manga.
The manga is divided into four arcs: The War Arc (was adapted in Season 1 of the anime), The Slave Arc (Season 2), The Eastern Expedition Arc (not yet animated), and The Final Arc, which fans unofficially call The Vinland Arc.
The manga is approaching its end
As we said the series is now in its final arc, so that means it’s coming to an end. Due to the fact that new chapters don’t come out very often, only every month or two, it could take years before the arc is complete. However, manga readers say it’s not true.
They think it definitely feels like Vinland Saga is reaching its finale. Thorfinn’s ideals are getting tested more and more, and the story feels very tense right now. A number of fans even say there might only be a few chapters left.
That’s why the most common prediction in the fandom is that the Vinland Saga manga will be finished in 2024. It might be early 2025, though, too, but the fact remains: the finale is just around the corner.
Because of that, right now might not be the best time to start reading the Vinland Saga manga. It’s so close to its end that it will just pain you to wait for each new chapter every month.
Season 3 of the anime is yet to be confirmed, so there is no need to rush if you want to finish the manga before watching the anime. And fans have a feeling that the manga finale will come before the third season of the adaptation.
That’s why waiting for the finale before binging the entire thing seems like the best option.
