2. Wolfsmund
Wolfsmund is a dark historical manga set in the early 14th century of Europe . The story revolves around the eponymous fortress in the St. Gotthard Pass which is ruled by a sadistic tyrant. Each chapter deals with characters who for some reason have to cross the pass and who end up getting interrogated by the tyrant.
What sets this manga apart is the fact that there's rarely a happy ending for our protagonists. The author pulls no punches to show us just how brutal and inhuman the Middle Ages really were.
Wolfsmund is finished and has 8 Volumes and 37 Chapters. It is also Known as: 狼の口 ヴォルフスムント, Wolf's Mouth: Wolfsmund, Ookami no Kuchi

Raised by the Vikings who murdered his father, Thorfinn became a terrifying warrior, forever seeking to kill the band's leader, Askeladd, and avenge his father. Sustaining Thorfinn through his ordeal are his pride in his family and his dreams of a fertile westward land, a land without war or slavery … the land Leif called Vinland.
