The anime’s first season premiered in July 2019. Amazon Prime Video streamed the anime both in Japan and overseas.
Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime for home video release, and it describes the story:
Raised on tales of the legendary land of Vinland, where warmth and plenty abound, young Thorfinn dreams of leaving behind the cold climate of Iceland and venturing into the great unknown. But when Viking sails appear on the horizon, the young boy is conscripted into a life of violence and brutality at the hands of merciless Viking Askalaad. With nothing left to him save revenge, Thorfinn swears vengeance against the man who slew his family, plunging headlong into a sprawling, blood-soaked, coming-of-age epic that marches to the drums of war.
Yukimura launched the series in Kodansha’s Weekly Shounen Magazine in 2005, but Kodansha moved the series to Afternoon later that year. Yukimura started drawing the fourth and final arc of the manga in November 2019. Kodansha published the manga’s 26th compiled book volume on May 23. The series has over 7 million copies in circulation.
