Vinland Saga; Ending after a long 20 year running span.

The epic saga has reached its conclusion Vinland Saga, the masterpiece by Yukimura Makoto, has officially ended with its final chapter released on July 25th, 2025.

Set in 11th-century Europe, the story evolves from Thorfinn's brutal battles making a living on the battlefield to setting out on a quest for peace through many hardships to find a place called Vinland, it is a story of much emotion and rigor.

As the final chapter loomed, Yukimura-Sensei took to Twitter to share his heartfelt gratitude and reflections. He opened up about the conclusion of this journey, his growth as a storyteller, and the wisdom gained over two decades of crafting this incredible series.

Creator Matsumoto Naoya had announced the manga's conclusion on twitter, with the 129th and final chapter releasing on July 18, 2025 wrapping up everything in one spectacular finale.
