Product Information

Vagabond is a journey. A fantastic journey of strength and the soul. In its quiet moments and beautifully illustrated duels, it is a carefully study of the persona and what it means to be human - someone who fears, who survives, and who fights to live.

The side story with Matahachi was really interesting to read even more so than the main plotline to me Vagabond Vol. 12] (in Japanese). Kodansha. Archived from the original on August 30, 2009 .

Volume 4, the introduction to Musashi's growth was intriguingly lovely, I loved the philosophical growth and seeing the barriers in which he was beginning to overcome. Vagabond Vol. 15". Viz Media.

Matahachi’s on the run because of the arson thing, and a chance encounter allows him to also reinvent himself as the respected warrior Sasaki Kojirō. His sections of the story are tragicomedy, as he keeps having good intentions, but the flaws in his character prevent him from following through in a crisis, and we watch him make excuse after excuse for doing less than he ought. I was about to sleep but I remembered thinking about this series earlier and so here I am! Damn, thank Heavens I don't have observation tomorrow! Augh! This is just simply amazing. Dang, I cried, okay! This particular volume is making me emotional. But it ended well. I think I can sleep soundly tonight. I knew it, Otsu brings out the human in Takezo. Augh, I love them!! Especially the reunion panel. This is just so good, I'm going to read the next few volumes tomorrow. By the way, who Takuan really is! I feel like there's something fishy in his identity, but since he did well in this volume, I knew I'm going to love him too. There’s a lot of violence in this volume, some of it quite bloody. There’s also a brief sex scene with female nudity–this is a “mature readers” title. During their time together, the monk dissects Musashi’s biggest dilemma, which is his desire to be with his childhood friend Otsū, who is now off on her own journey. Considering that Musashi is the main character of this series, Inoue is also interested to give every character their own narrative, including faces who we thought we never see again, such as Matahachi’s horrid mother Osugi. Following Musashi’s numerous battles with other warriors, we even get to see their side in the larger narrative as they are preparing to take down the eponymous vagabond. It kept me thinking and rereading to fully encompass what Takehiko Inoue was conveying, it was beautiful I loved every minute of it !Takuan is a monk and he's no ordinary man. Mild spoiler alert, he helped Takezo turn his life around. The way he does this convertion I leave to the rider to find out. I enjoy Miyamoto, and for his age, he is very believable. I just find him to be overwhelmingly dull at times. He is so self absorbed with strength. That isn't enough to bring his character down to dull, but he has a childhood love interest that compels him to be 'distracted.' I'm guessing it was made to make his character more relatable, but I feel as if the cliche love interest doesn't do anything for me. It's just another thing Miyamoto has to go through. I was much more into the abusive relationship with his father but that has again been held absent and shrouded in intrigue. Vagabond Vol. 14] (in Japanese). Kodansha.

Special Chapter: Tsujikaze Kohei (Part Two)" ( ─特別編─ 辻風黄平 ＜後編＞, Tokubetsu Hen Tsujikaze Kōhei Kōhen) Miyamoto Musashi is better at learning from his mistakes; while he is not the sharpest katana in the armory, he’s partially grasped the concept of critical thinking and examining his own mindset. Still has a long way to go before being the best swordsman in Japan though.Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior-philosopher, Musashi authored A Book of Five Rings, a classic treatise in the canon of world philosophy and military strategy. But the path to enlightenment is an endless journey, and to get there through violent means--by way of the sword--makes mere survival an even greater challenge. Vagabond Vol. 9". Viz Media.
