Vagabond is light-years ahead of Slam Dunk in storytelling. Visually, it is Inoue's best work to date and he has taken to explore more mature themes than his perpetually funny basketball manga. 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.for everything? Damn, I sound like I’m really easy to please. That isn’t case (I think), but I’m usually open minded. Enough about that, though. Allow me to pour my heart out for the legend of Miyamoto Musashi beautifully illustrated in Inoue Takehiko’s best work yet: Vagabond. Alexander, Matthew (April 19, 2018). "Vagabond Volume 1 Manga review". The Fandom Post . Retrieved May 10, 2023. 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 ! By December 2012, the manga had over 82 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2000, Vagabond won the 24th Kodansha Manga Award for the general category, as well as the Grand Prize of the sixth Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2002. The legacy of expert swordsman Miyamoto Musashi lives on through Takehiko’s Vagabond and will hopefully awaken the dormant fighting spirit we all have inside of us.

The artwork is extremely detailed and there were many close ups of Takezo that looked almost real. The character development (or under development in Matahachi’s case) was pleasing to witness as Takezo has many chances to learn something new and he takes each and every one.

Matahatchi's journey is less noble, it seems no matter how hard he tries he always ends up screwing things up, although he gets points for rescuing Musashi early on. In 16th century Japan, Shinmen Takezou is a wild, rough young man, in both his appearance and his actions. His aggressive nature has won him the collective reproach and fear of his village, leading him and his best friend, Matahachi Honiden, to run away in search of something grander than provincial life. The pair enlist in the Toyotomi army, yearning for glory—but when the Toyotomi suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the Tokugawa Clan at the Battle of Sekigahara, the friends barely make it out alive. 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 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.
