This large-trim definitive edition with gorgeous textured design collects three phenomenal volumes of the samurai-era masterpiece by manga legend Takehiko Inoue! Striving for enlightenment by way of the sword, Miyamoto Musashi is prepared to cut down anyone who stands in his way. Vagabond is an action-packed portrayal of the life and times of the quintessential warrior-philosopher—the most celebrated swordsman of all time. At 17 years of age, Miyamoto Musashi—still known by his childhood name, Shinmen Takezo—is a wild young brute just setting out along the way of the sword. In the aftermath of the epic Battle of Sekigahara, Takezo finds himself a fugitive survivor on the losing side of the war. Takezo’s vicious nature has made him an outcast even in his own village, and he is hunted down like an animal. At this crucial crossroads in Takezo’s life, an eccentric monk and a childhood friend are the only ones who can help him find his way.

One of its kind
This may be the only manga that I have read yet with such detailed drawings. We all know what is the difference between western comics and mangas. The manga are hand-drawn and are to be published as soon as possible. So, so many times we see the characters in the manga are not that detailed. But here, Takehiko Inoue has done an incredible job. The paper quality is better than other VIZ manga volumes that we see. There are some color pages between chapters. Miyamoto Musashi has always been one of the most influential persons from the Japanese history. Now making a manga about the same character is something else altogether. Especially for a manga enthusiast like me. I wish it had an anime series. The delivery took some time.... around 15 days as it had to be imported and then delivered. Now the only thing concerns me regarding this is that I have to wait for another 15 days before I get the Volume 2 of this. Bookswagon did a very good job here. I wish they keep all such mangas like this available with them. We can get more mainstream mangas such as Naruto, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen etc everywhere now. Many sellers have them. But mangas such as Vagabond, 20th Century Boys are not available everywhere. And Bookswagon is doing a tremendous job there.

Perfection!
I'll say this is probably the best manga I've ever bought off Amazon. International shipping took awhile (around 10 days or more) but it eventually arrived around 10 days earlier than expected. But wow! absolutely gold! I am a very happy customer with this purchase, manga looks brand new. I expected a bit of wear and tear but it doesn't even have a mark on it. Kudos to the seller. I would say definitely go for it if you're a Vagabond fan or reading it for the first time like me. Takehiko Inoue is a master of his craft and I can see why Vagabond is his timeless masterpiece. 10/10. Will definitely purchase the next volume(s) from Viz Media.

Edizione fantastica
Arrivato in anticipo sulla data stimata. Condizioni perfette. L’edizione è ottima: formato più grande di un classico volume “deluxe”, sovraccopertina semirigida non rimovibile, pagine a colori originali conservate… anche il prezzo è tutto sommato buono.

La meilleure édition !
Ces premiers chapitres posent immédiatement de très bonnes bases. Le trait de Takehiko Inoue est ici tout simplement magistral : chaque planche respire la puissance, la tension et l’émotion. Un must-read pour les amateurs de manga seinen et de récits de samouraïs. Redécouvrir cette série sous un nouveau format rend la lecture des plus agréable. La fabrication est incroyable. Je conseille à tout fan du manga.
