Makoto Yukimura won everyone’s favor since he came out”Vinland Saga“, a fast-paced viking manga that goes far beyond simple frenetic action and manages to create magnetic personalities and relationships. However, the life of the mangaka is very hard, and beyond the health problems we see so often, there can also be someone who suffers some creative difficulties. This seems to be happening to Yukimura-sensei for a while now..

Makoto Yukimura (Vinland Saga) delays the 200th manga chapter

This is how the manga of “Vinland Saga” has its manga chapter 200really special simply because of the number… and yet we have seen it delayed by Yukimura-sensei himself:

  • Basically Chapter 200 of Vinland Saga manga it was supposed to see the light of day on February 25, 2023 in Monthly Afternoon magazine… but that’s something that didn’t happen.
  • Makoto Yukimura quickly reached out to his audience via his personal Twitter account to clarify something: absolutely nothing is wrong with his health.
The mangaka’s life is one of constant war
  • Thus, the author of Vinland Saga left a very clear message in which he conveyed that I just couldn’t draw well. That is to say, it seems that currently and for some time (since he talks about his recent frequent breaks), Yukimura-sensei hasn’t quite hit the key he’s looking for for the manga in question.
  • What was the public reaction on Twitter? So full support. In the end, in recent years we are taking more and more into consideration that mangaka are not simple machines for creating stories, so the creator of Vinland Saga can be assured that his readers prefer him serenely and in a good mood, that No. accelerated and giving blind sticks.

Honestly, I can’t even imagine how it must be maintaining such a mental and physical work rate for so many years, and especially with all the expectations that this implies. By far, between sales/entertainment media such as video games, movies and the like, this seems to me the most wildly absurd thing, because in the end, in most cases, a product is offered, produced and launched; that is to say that there is a beginning and an end to the work which are well delimited. However, The manga is an adventure that takes you for years in a creative work in which there is hardly any rest, and in which the slightest laziness can mean failure..
