I could find deeper, more damning reasons why the ending left me cold, but I do think it’s reason enough that the Vinland part of “Vinland” Saga is 14 chapters shorter than the prologue. Yukimura finally reached the centerpiece of his life’s work and like, got tired I guess

it’s so obvious when ppl are suddenly interested in him despite how bad his writing got. his fugly new look is just a cool Qifrey reference to them

heartwarming: the worst people you know are having a terrible day

also I’ve hesitated to put a negative label Shirahama’s treatment of Coustas bc I appreciate her taking some big swings and her heart is surely in the right place, but boy, she sure does write and draw that poor disabled brown child a particular way
