Gonna be dumping the new chapters for both Vinland Saga and Historie.
Feels kind of annoying to translate something that's already been done, but I suppose it's not pointless, considering the mistranslations in Mangastream's version.
Aw yis. Thanks man.
When will Historie go back on hiatus?
>>143337946
I can't remember the last time it was on hiatus so... never? It just has a slow bimonthly schedule.
I will always prefer your translations. I haven´t even read those from NIggerstream. Also, thanks for your efforts, Hox.
Best time of the month is here at last. Thanks.
>>143337988
That's some really fucking quick change of attitude here.
>>143338022
I really don't want to come across as another whiny translator bitching about project "right," but skimming through Mangastream's release, I'm surprised by how many mistranslations they make. Their first fucking page has a mistranslation.

HAYAY
thanks for posting these brothers
i hope this manga can recover and not suck anymore
>>143338331
There's nothing to recover from though, Vinland has been great all the time.
>>143338331
I don´t understand why people say that. I could understand Farmland saga putting people off, because such themes in such a schedule is boring. Specially right after Askeladd´s death and so much action. However, rereading it as a whole, is not bad at all. My opinion, of course.
>>143338446
I personally loved the Arneis and her husband-bit during the farming arc.
>>143338350
>take it as like we acknowledge your strength
>>143338446
Farmland saga put off the "HORSE PUNCH LOL XD" idiots that expected everything to be fights all the time. It was a great arc.
>>143338503
Yukimura couldn´t give them a better conclusion. It was great and natural. I mean, her surviving or some other corny shit would have been awful.
>>143338644
Hoh shit man

>>143338735
What the shit?
Does anyone know what Vagns company is?
>>143338795
Vagn is the other Jomsviking who left with his own company of followers to contest Floki putting his grandson up as the next Jomsviking chieftain. It was explained 2 chapters ago.
>>143338906
Absolutely Disgusting
>>143338906
oh thank god i need more of these
>>143338957
You certainly don't look like a "mere merchant" with that sort of attitude, Thorfinn.

He just forgot the right gesture, that's all.

>Thorfinn turns jomsvikings into the best farming order of the north
>>143339195
Thorfinn: Goddammit that's why I'm trying to leave!
>>143338446
Re-reading it all in one go, Farmland became one of my favorite arcs. Thorfinn's character development is really amazing.
>>143339195
I hope the cover of next volume won't be as bad as previous one.

Alright, moving onto the new Historie chapter. Reminder that if you can't tolerate the scribble-backgrounds, just read the tankoban releases which fixes up the art.

>>143339345
>Yukimura really needs a skilled colourist
That's what I'm talking about. Especially considering the opening color pages from first chapter, that's a huge fall in terms of quality.
Based Hox.
>>143339406
ayyy
>>143339577
>>143339345
Bad color ruins a lot of otherwise competent comics. Probably more than any other single factor.
I still don't like Alexander "Weird eye tattoo and best friend is actually a split personality".
>>143339253
Indeed. Thorfinn changed from an edgy one-dimensional shonen revenge archetype to a much more complex character. There's a reason the manga sidelined him in favor of Askeladd and his schemings for a good while, he was a much more interesting character than Thorfinn.
He realized that living for revenge was dumb since he had nothing to live for after Askeladd died. His years as a slave helped him gain empathy and realize that war and destruction are dumb, but he's also learning that his initial "all peace" stance is naive and unrealistic in a world full of warmongers. His dad died following that same path, after all.
He also learns that after all he has done he won't simply be able to leave his past behind just like that, he fucked so many lives up and met too many powerful people in his years of petty revenge. His only hope is to start anew in Vinland but getting there will be very hard and even then as history shows that promised land of his isn't exactly peaceful either.
At the wedding between Philip and Eurydica (aka Cleopatra), the historical Attalus supposedly said that hopefully Philip can now give a legitimate heir to the throne. The implication obviously being that Alexander, being born from a Molossian mother, is not a full-blooded Macedonian and therefore not truly legitimate in the eyes of the Macedonian aristocracy.
Now in the manga, Philip has made a few curious remarks about Alexander, most notably in the previous chapter 95. "If only he were a general and not a prince. It would be a shame to waste his talents, but... That boy is ill."
My theory is that Philip, seeing Alexander's eccentricities, does not think of him as an ideal heir and he too, seeks to perhaps replace Alexander with another son. So Eumenes' new role as the "King's left-hand" might possibly have to do with backing Philip's wishes against Alexander in a succession conflict.
Or who knows, maybe I'm reading too much into this.
>>143339880
>Alexander whacks Philip's wives and children after Philip's assassination
>Eumenes has to stick around as secretary
Poor Scythian never gets a break. Even the silver shields hate him.
>>143339757
I've come to like the split-personality angle, considering the historical Alexander had some very polarizing natures, such as being noble and generous to some, while being vindictive and cruel to others.
However, I still do think Hephaesteus should have been a real character.
>>143337764
I was waiting for your version. Thank you based Hox.
>>143337764
Glad you still did it even tho MS came out first, was waiting on yours. Thanks!
>>143339253
>Re-reading it all in one go, Farmland became one of my favorite arcs
Same here. I'm glad I was able to read it all at once, though -- I do feel it would have felt rather slow between every monthly release.
>>143339406
Saved
>>143339195
Thank you for translating.
>>143338147
I like how instead of the typical "fast guy appearing behind you" trope, They have a more realistic scenario where a person way committed in his attack, and essentially exposed his back.
Thank you based Hox! MS is not to be trusted.
>You will never be able to get a qt blonde waifu from iceland

It's also really cool how he blinds one of the guys instead of knocking him down just to use him as a shield when the whole group goes against him.
>>143340683
Thorfinn, do you remember the basics of CQC?
>>143339999
Checked.
THANK YOU BASED HOX
I had trouble with niggastream's translation, this is so much better
And that's the end of the Historie chapter.

>>143341343
I don't get it. So she is going to go with him in the end?
>>143339999
>Poor Scythian never gets a break. Even the silver shields hate him.
IRL they disliked his Greek upbringing more than any possible Scythian origins, particularly because he was probably Thracian, not Scythian at all.
And it was Macedonian officers more than the rank and file, that were prejudiced against his origins.
>>143341580
Are you reading the pages in order? The kiss at the end was her saying goodbye for good. You can see Eumenes stand outside her house for at least an hour in shock and disbelief, judging by the moon's movement, before finally coming to terms that Eurydice made her choice to marry Philip. Especially heartbreaking is the fact that Eurydice, too, just stood there crying until Eumenes finally left.
>>143341580
Nah, she had given up on him before he even came to talk to her... or so I undestood it, anyway.
>>143341783
>>143341848
My bad, I hopped into the thread and just locked in on the pages I recognized Eumenes at a glance. That's pretty sad.
>>143341848
She did, though not wholly as she wavered when talking to Eumenes. But her saying goodbye and then waiting until he left was her throwing away that last bit of her heart that wishes to stay with Eumenes.
>>143340760
Fuck, why this always happens to Eumenes, he should ntr someone, not get ntr'd every time:c
>>143342134
Some men were just born under the wrong star. He could've been a major historical figure like Seleucus rather than being a side-note had he better circumstances.
Would you read a manga about Antiochus the 3rd's exploits in restoring the Seluecid Empire to its former glory?

Oh man, that's good. Real fucking good.

>Feels kind of annoying to translate something that's already been done, but I suppose it's not pointless, considering the mistranslations in Mangastream's version.
It may feel that way but between the higher quality translations and scans, it is not pointless for many. If you need an example, just refer to Turnip Farmers they are always slower than that gook site but no one cares.
>>143342788
When you have been working alone for 30 years you are probabaly not very willing to change anything.
>>143343620
I know, but fuck, I really wish he could switch back to doing monthly chapters.
>>143337932
Did Thorkell become a general? I think this is the first time I've seen him titled as such but maybe I'm getting senile. It's been too long since I've seen Thorkell fight for real.
>>143338613
>Favour at jelling
Does this refer to when Thorfinn called off Thorkell's men from pursuing Hild?
>>143339195
He can't even live within a herd of sheep at fucking Vinland, the author really loves to bully Thorfinn and his dreams.
>Make MC incredibly realistically stupid
>Make MC want to attain his father's dream which is beyond naive and unrealistic

Thank god.
Based Hox, thank you.
Been waiting for your version, totally worth it. Please don't drop it mate, you're the best.
>>143343911
Utopia is, after all, by definition unreachable.
Deep.
>>143337988
>Dex vs Strength build
>>143343911
I think you should interpret general more liberally, as in one of several commanders within the Jomsvikings, which is what I think that guy meant.
Yes for the second question.
>>143338644
Poor guy just got meme'd on.
>>143339880
>So Eumenes' new role as the "King's left-hand" might possibly have to do with backing Philip's wishes against Alexander in a succession conflict.
Are you implying he wants Eumenes to fuck Eurydica and pass off the baby as his own?
>>143343933
>*teleports* pssst

>>143344119
Mad, slow jomsviking detected.
>>143342134
He NTR'd that 2nd son with the village girl, before the 2nd son NTR'd him back.
>>143344112
No, what I mean is that when Philip gets a more suitable heir, or possibly even before that happens, Eumenes will be Philip's agent in carrying out the steps necessary to safely remove Alexander as heir and a threat to the throne.
>>143344016
So like how the Chinese refer to generals then? Never knew that was possible in Europe, cool.
>>143339651
>>143339689
>>143339880
What he fuck is that paneling.
>>143344365
Are you referring to the borderless and bordered panels? If so, borderless is how Iwaaki establishes panels which happened before the present. He does also use the more often well-known black frames but for events that happened even further back in time.
Dex confirmed for superior build.
>>143344452
It's just weird seeing the speech bubbles conform to a non existent panel.
>>143343933
>great again
stop this meme
>>143341102
Fuck, I saw it coming but it's still sad.
Thanks Hox my man for scanlating these.
>>143344813
It was boring for a while, then it got good, and now it's great.
>>143337988
Thorfinn is channeling Askeladd pretty damn hard here.
>>143344954
It was always great.
>>143344813
True, it was never great.
>>143343933
It was never bad to begin with.
You just have shit taste.
>>143343998
>muscle wizard build.
>>143345113
Why are you even here?
>>143345029
I love how he sees Askeladd's force-ghost more often than his real father.
>>143345189
Because it's good.
>>143345200
He basically has far more memories and possibly spent more time with Askeladd than he did with his father. Definitely if you count how his father hadn't spent all day pampering him and was working while Thorfinn was playing with other kids and shit, while with Askeladd Thorfinn was MUH VENGEANCE and couldn't get King Arthur off his mind.
>>143345200
>>143345285
I just wish Thorfinn had clearer memories of his dad. Rereading the manga and the parallels between the two now are pretty damn striking.
>>143345368So dead end soon?
>>143339780
His next development is going to be finding out Floki is the man behind the death of Thors. He'll probably learn that from Vagn.
It'll be really fucking interesting to see him handle that.
>>143341102
You can't fight the flow of history.
>Read volumes downloaded from Hox's MEGA folder
>Historia Chapter 80 (vol 9) is mid Chapter 90
Wtf.
Nice though, I catched up in two days. Thanks, Hox.
>>143346231
Yeah, Iwaaki combines the magazine chapters into longer length chapters for the tankoban release, so the chapter numbers aren't the same.
>>143338613
Where's the hatesex
>>143346591
We save that for Vinland when Hild strips naked in front of the chugs and roars at them. Or was that another girl?
>>143346231
>catched
I'm retarded. Caught.
>>143345495
Floki has his days numbered. Being a hippie is not an option here since Vagn's guys are right, Floki will just keep sending assassins and killing innocents just to get Thorfinn. One of them will have to die and it will not be the protagonist.
And even if Thorfinn doesn't do it himself because he doesn't want to stain his hands or some shit like that Hild, Thorkell or someone else will do the work for him.
>>143346945
And then Thorfinn will have a dream after all the bloodshed with Askeladd hanging over Floki dangling on the edge of the pillar in that hell place during Farmland saga, then step on his fingers one at a time until he drops down to Bjorn and friends.

Thanks for your hard work Hox.
Is Historie drawn by the Parasyte guy?
>>143345200
Well Askeladd was pretty much a father figure for him. Hated one but still.
It was one of the reasons why it struck him so much when he died.
I bet Thorfin never even expect to defeat Askeladd in fight.
>>143349921

I definitely will. I haven't read Historie but Parasyte is among my top manga. Didn't realize that he had made more series.
>>143339880
I thought the wedding with Eurydica was about denying Eumenes a connection to a "true Macedonian" family and thusly making him less of a threat to the king. That is, they specifically arranged the marriage, so that Eumenes couldn't marry her. Having Eumenes - a Scythian - as a left hand man would be better for the king as generals, aristocracy, etc wouldn't as readily pledge their allegiance to him as if he'd be married into a Macedonian family.
Didn't Antipater discuss this some chapters ago?

Yes, that is what the wedding was for, so Philip would feel safe with making Eumenes his "left-hand." The question is, though, what duties will the "left-hand" exactly entail? It seems Attalus already knows about it.

He doesn't use the sword because he's never trained with swords. He used daggers long ago and his bare hands since.
