There's a ton of drawn out fighting, banter about the philosophy of battle, and internal reflection, as well as a small side story with Mushashis friend whose name I forget. This massive tome doesn't even conclude the arc it sets up. It ends on a cliffhanger. Vagabond Vol. 27". Viz Media. Archived from the original on December 28, 2007 . Retrieved June 28, 2009. Vagabond (Japanese: Bagabondo) is a Japanese epic martial arts manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. It portrays a fictionalized account of the life of Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, based on Eiji Yoshikawa’s novel Musashi. But the story runs slowly, much more so than the pace I'm used to by now in shonen. It's only mildly interesting, the poor rural Japan filled with prematurely wrinkled, ugly faces standing in stark contrast with Takezō's unusually lovingly drawn character. The typical feelings of alienation, mistrust and difference between the protagonist and his community are emphasized here by the differences in both physical and behavioural depiction of the various characters.

I will admit that it initially took me a while to regain my footing in the ongoing narrative, and remember all the characters sufficiently, but once I got past that, the story seemed an improvement via accumulation in comparison to the previous volume. I would not say that the character of Miyamoto Musashi has yet gained any true depth – he still comes across as rather flat – but the character gallery around him is starting to make up for it. Also, while there is still a lot of violence (one fight seems to be going on for an near endless number of chapters) there is much less carnage in this volume. And perhaps it allows hints of character growth for Musashi as well. Volume 6, The first half way great, I didn't love the end as much as I did the first half only because I despise Matahachi as a character but I believe that is the authors incentive. So I appreciate what Inoue has done to create conflict and drama in the plot. Nevertheless I loved it !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. Vagabond Vol. 29". Viz Media. Archived from the original on February 7, 2010 . Retrieved June 28, 2009.

The Art and Style of Vagabond

Vagabond Vol. 21". Viz Media. Archived from the original on October 18, 2006 . Retrieved June 28, 2009. Chapter 1: The Story of Vagabond Vagabond is set in the late 16th century in Japan and follows the story of a young swordsman, Musashi Miyamoto, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. This chapter will provide a detailed summary of the story, highlighting the key characters, themes, and plot points. But can you do the same with novels and comic books? As someone who labeled a shelf action even I would struggle with singling out a significant number of fight scenes from books as capital-G Great. There are several authors I've read and admired who when the time came in their story for an action setpiece it came across as merely serviceable more often than not. And I don't think any less of them for it because it's damn hard to create the visuals and motion that is necessary to a good fight scene with mere words. The closest literary equivalent would be every time an author describes the current location of their characters, but when it comes to scenery the author doesn't have to worry about the flow and pacing of their writing nearly as much they need to when it comes to describing a sword fight, or a shootout, or a wizard duel, or a battle between two armies. While fight scenes in film and animation require infinitely more exhaustive time, effort, and manpower to create they have one all-important advantage over comics and literature when it comes to action: motion.

We meet Takezo awakening from unconsciousness after the Battle of Sekigahara, somehow still alive with his best friend Matahachi: they are both 17 years old. They set off on the path homewards but encounter enemy soldiers, scavengers and thieves and must fight to survive. But their destinies will change at a small house in the woods where 3 young women live with secrets - and danger is on its way! Loo, Egan (January 4, 2010).
