"Top 10 Must-Read Manga" - Publishers Weekly, Spring 2025
Vengeful fury and Viking lore meet manga: Endorsed by Vinland Saga’s Mokoto Yukimura. Unleash the wrath of the “War-Wolf” - epic battles between mighty warriors in a bygone era.
Against the backdrop of the harsh 11th century England emerges a blood-soaked saga of violence and vengeance. Chihiro Yoshioka’s Farewell, My Odin tells the legend of Luke, who faces hardships from birth but overcomes the suffering he endures to become one of the most feared and powerful warriors in all the lands.
Embark on a tumultuous journey with the young boy, which begins in the wilderness where he nurtures his animality as a part of the wolf pack. In the medieval realm, survival demands savagery and cunning, skills that he has learned through affliction. But once he meets a warm-hearted priest, he finds solace in his new family and regains his humanity.
However, tragedy strikes at the hands of vicious Vikings, the humanity Luke had found has now been shattered. Follow Luke’s transformation from an innocent boy to the fearsome “War-Wolf” Odin, driven by a thirst for revenge against a ruthless opposition.
Enthusiasts of historical thrillers seeking immersive adventures in bygone eras, and those drawn to formidable protagonists driven by vengeance, will be enthralled by this violent tale of revenge. Fans of Viking lore will also be engrossed in the ferocity and turmoil of ancient conflicts, as it is combined with the stunning and chaotic art associated with Seinen manga.
Endorsed by Mokoto Yukimura, creator of the renowned Viking manga Vinland Saga, Yoshioka’s story promises a gripping narrative and visceral battles. As Luke, the “War-Wolf” Odin carves the blood-soaked path called vengeance, Farewell, My Odin promises an odyssey of unparalleled action, a chronicle that will etch itself into both manga and Viking lore.
The writer and artist Chihiro Yoshioka would be an extremely elusive figure if it weren’t for their passion for soccer and art. As a devout soccer fan, it is no surprise that Yoshioka created Football Alchemist; a thrilling soccer story that keeps fans on their toes. They then boast their wonderful and versatile artistic and storytelling skills by completely switching genres for Farewell My Odin.
Recommended by Makoto Yukimura - the creator of the hit action manga Vinland Saga!

"Yoshioka conjures the 11th-century setting with evocative drawings of European wilderness, medieval architecture, and Norse design, then fills it with sex, drugs (King Sven likes to get high on henbane), and violence. It’s a worthy voyage for devotees of gritty historical fantasy." Publisher's Weekly
"The art is gorgeous, the story is compelling and emotional ... an exciting read from start to finish." OTAKU USA
"If you enjoy historical manga like Vinland Saga or vengeance stories, you will love Farewell, My Odin Vol. 1!" Behind The Manga
"If you, like me, are also obsessed with Vinland Saga, then this one is certainly worth picking up." Strawberry Shojo
