Product Information

But, to bring things around full circle, it is also a long, arduous coming-of-age tale of a young, violent, severely maladjusted man trying to find self-worth and self-fulfillment through the way of the sword. Other changes Inoue put when writing the manga was to make the supporting characters have different personalities from the novel.

Vagabond portrays a fictionalized account of Miyamoto Musashi’s life, in a loose adaptation of Eiji Yoshikawa’s novel “Musashi”. We'll also take a look at the cultural significance of the series and how it has resonated with audiences across the globe. Depois de um período inicial a habituar-me a ler um livro de trás para a frente e da esquerda para a direita. I highly advise this manga to people who love historical settings as well as sword fighting, a badass protagonist and artwork for the third time. Kojiro is another enigma within the Vagabond universe, but I must continue to express my love for Takezo.

I'll read a couple more volumes because my best friend is requesting it and because people make a big deal about this series, but. It has been serialized in Weekly Morning magazine since 1998, with the chapters collected into 37 tankōbon volumes by Kodansha as of July 2014. Vagabond is an excellent samurai-themed manga, telling a semi-biographical story of the famous Miyamoto Musashi, one of the greatest samurai in history. Vagabond won a 2000 Kodansha Manga Award and the 2002 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and has sold more than 82 million copies worldwide.

Hell, I'll also throw my hat in with the others who think he is the greatest comics artist alive today in the East and West. Like Slam Dunk, I must admit some fight scenes dragged on a little longer than they needed to and while I enjoyed Sasaki Kojiro’s arc, I was also desperate for it to end! And that scene when Takezo is fighting off the soldiers and his friend and Oko are having coitus (yep using it) is just gruesome and amazing and sets this manga apart.

A quick survey of the artwork in any volume will make clear just how talented an artist he is; the level of detail and texturing is so meticulous, it seems miraculous it didn't take him twice as long. Apesar de não ser um tipo de enredo que normalmente me agrada, gostei bastante da parte gráfica - que foi, aliás, a principal razão da escolha - os desenhos são bastante realistas, com grandes planos das caras e expressões muito bem conseguidas.

Inoue is also the mangaka (manga creator) behind the epic ongoing series, Vagabond (Viz Media), based on Japan's most revered and influential samurai warrior, Miyamoto Musashi. I had some minor problems with distinguishing between some of the characters at first, but overall, it was perfectly accessible and a very enjoyable read. specify] In contrast to popular belief, Inoue's Musashi does not follow bushido but instead a more unique path with a growth path that he finds realistic.Definitely a book to mention in relation to the likes of "Lone Wolf and Cub" and "Blade of the Immortal". In Musashi and Jōtarō's arrival to the Hōzōin spears, Musashi's first fight against the Hōzōin, its aftermath, Musashi's second fight against Hōzōin Inshun. There aren’t many colour pages in this, but the opening first page is in colour where we see the battlefield with the rain coming down - it’s so cinematic, but Inoue manages to draw rain so perfectly you can hear and smell it. the differences between them and the rest of us are a lot more stark, and the gulf standing between understanding wider than it originally appeared. At seventeen years of age, Musashi—still known by his childhood name, Shinmen Takezō—was a wild young brute just setting out along the way of the sword.
