It's published in Afternoon, so I suppose that would be a yes.

Think you should try Ubel Blatt and Historie as well.
I can understand the Ubel Blatt recommendation for an action manga (though personally I find it not very...yeah, angst aversion here). But Historie? Yes, they're both excellent historical manga, but the latter has a very different pace from Vinland Saga, being more like the pace of the old classics: sometimes slow, sometimes introspective, then simple and straight, then goofy, and occasionally truly epic. Its only truly notable deficiency is, coincidentally, the weakness of the action, which was utterly dry and even simplistic, like a conclusion of a successful tactic or a catalyst for something else.

So yeah. Action manga?

And is Berserk any good? It gets good reviews, but how does it compare to Vinland Saga?
It's a legend, a mark in manga history. What I can say others have said in all those reviews already. Go read it; judge for yourself.

Though yes, Vinland Saga is often compared to Berserk, and you compare things to Berserk when you want to judge it with a milestone.
