@lexy yeah, it was probably a typo that meant to be “those who view Japan as *an* enemy”. I am curious how Noda plans to end the narrative for Asirpa, as unless he decides to do something like Tarantino and go the route of making an alternative history (like Inglourious Basterds or One Upon A...

@ak2508 Don't forget that Tsurumi also wants to establish his own independent military government in Hokkaido with him at the head of it, so presuming the series stays accurate to real life history, Tsurumi shouldn't "win" either. If any faction "wins" it would be the Central government, who's...

@LastRites123 The indigenous people the historical Thorfinn would have encountered in the early 11th century would have been an intermediary culture between the Dorset & Beothuk if I am remembering correctly. But as already shown in chapter 176 ( https://mangadex.org/chapter/1078852/14 )...

Hope the goat's milk doesn't cause the indigenous Canadians to get lactose-intolerance runs/indigestion issues immediately, since goat's milk has less lactose in it than cow's milk.

@Howeveryw I can’t tell you to not feel the development is cheap, that’s your valid reaction/feelings, but I think it’s unfair to describe it as an assumption on Asirpa’s part, it’s a reasonable conclusion she came to from her experiences with Kiroranke, particularly his dying words, and the...

@Howeveryw I think you’re kinda misinterpreting the point of the chapter if you’re coming away with the conclusion that Kiroranke’s main motivation was all just only romantic feelings for Sofia. Tsurumi literally spelled it out, how the personal feelings that someone like himself, Wilk, and...

@spurgleburgle While I can understand the desire for not every female character to be connected to a love-interest plot point, in this case I think it’s particularly appropriate with Kiroranke. As Tsurumi’s comment about how there can be two truths with Wilk, that he was both sincerely...

I figured the mangaka wasn’t going to “reveal” to be that Seichi was the one who pushed Shige, glad to see I was right. Basically this chapter is showing us how/why Seiko “saw” Shige as Seichi, and how she’s viewed her son and the “prison” of motherhood/housewife for her entire life. Now the...

Definitely think Bofoi is going to turn out to be a Red Herring. Think the Neo Heroes (some part of it) are going to turn out to be the one’s responsible, what with all the recent chapters focus on them turning people into cyborgs, regardless of individual consent, like Metal Bat (whose fight we...

Hope he’s able to make it past this last (hopefully?) hurdle of internalized guilt/gaslighting.

Could also be dreaming (hopefully not actually hallucinating in the snow for his own health/safety). But main what great catharsis, hopefully it ends okay/not tragic for him.

Interesting that Yukimura is choosing to have the Mi'kmaq (Newfoundland's current surviving First Nation's peoples) be the indigenous people Thorfinn will be presumably interacting with in the narrative, as to my knowledge (from doing some cursory research) the Mi'kmaq migrated to Newfoundland...

A number of commenters seem to be forgetting that Thorfinn is still allowing spears, axes, and bow & arrows/crossbows to be brought. The point of banning swords, is that they are a tool who's only primary purpose is for man-on-man violence, virtually nothing else, it's about it symbolic meaning...

I’m surprised people have forgotten that this isn’t even the first or longest (not even including the childhood flashback) timeskip the series has done before. Ketil's Farm arc had a timeskip of three years within it. From fall/winter of 1015 to fall of 1018. Yukimura likely did a timeskip now...
