Vinland Saga is considered one of the best ongoing seinen manga right now, and many praise it for its impressive storytelling. Though fans spotted a mistake in the manga, prompting Vinland Saga creator Makoto Yukimura to apologize to everyone in Denmark.
As the series follows Vikings in the 11th century, Vinland Saga is partly set in Denmark.
And while many parts of the series are historically accurate, some fans noticed that Yukimura added Danish mountains that don’t exist in real life.
Vinland Saga Creator Makoto Yukimura Continues to Be Active on Twitter
While many manga creators are active on social media, it’s fair to say that Makoto Yukimura is among the most active as he regularly shares updates about his series.
Yukimura has been especially active recently when the second season of the Vinland Saga anime aired.
On his personal Twitter account, Yukimura shared regular updates after each episode.
Specifically, he has mentioned some interesting details about the anime over the last few months, including his thoughts on the changes that the anime made compared to what happened in the source material.
Instead of being critical though, Yukimura has been incredibly happy with the direction of the anime, enough that he considers the anime even better than his own manga.
He even recommended that those who are new to Vinland Saga should watch the anime first as he considers it a better introduction to the series.
Aside from his effusive praise of the anime, Yukimura also shares regular updates about the manga on Twitter.

Makoto Yukimura Apologizes for Hilarious Vinland Saga Error
Recently, Kodansha’s official K Manga app was launched, and Vinland Saga is one of the highlight titles in the service’s lineup.
In a recent post though, K Manga highlighted that social media users spotted mountains in the Vinland Saga manga that did not exist in real life.
Yukimura retweeted this, apologizing to everyone in Denmark for the mistake.
This is a funny error as Yukimura admitted that Japan being mountainous influenced his drawings for Denmark.
In reality, Denmark is well-known for being a mostly flat country with no mountains to speak of.
In response, fans hilariously responded by saying that they will build mountains in Denmark so that the manga is more accurate.
Meanwhile, others didn’t mind the error as it does nothing to affect the story.
The Vinland Saga manga gets new chapters every month in Monthly Afternoon and K Manga.
Meanwhile, the anime is confirmed to continue after Season 2.
