Literature with the same feel as this masterpiece? I’m looking for fiction or non-fiction that deal with the themes of the manga/anime, mainly regarding revenge and retribution.

Berserk suffers from much of the same problems vintrans saga does. I stopped reading berserk after the author decided to introduce the completely unnecessary and silly jrpg companions to guts and stopped reading the vintranny story after the author introduced the stupid ninja villain and it became thorfinn and friends adventures. I did get a good laugh when I read the scene with the native American high on whatever he was smoking telling thorfinn about all the great evil the white man will bring to the world

both fell off hard.
Vinland saga especially is laughable now
but the golden age arc is a masterpiece
and Vinland saga up until the farming arc is really good.

Kinobond dwarfs all though

just inherent problems with the medium.
They're making good money through serialization.
Their original pacing and planning is thrown out the window by greedy magazines who demand more chapters.

If you want to read real kino, give 'Shigurui' a chance.

Neither of those at any point becomes bloated and drawn out for the sake of serialization.
>Everything I know about philosophy I learned from manga
So you don't know jack shit?
>I am able to content on /lit/
You may be able to post shit, but that doesn't equal having any grasp of philosophy.

I like reading manga, but Vinland Saga isn't even a masterpiece within the medium.

Nah, the newfag is the guy making a thread about an old manga that's only recently been adapted. It's no coincidence. Being a long-time Berserk and JoJo fan was a painful experience, but I'm past it.
