Vagabond vizbig vol 17/3/2023 Matahachi, sadly, has a flaw in his character that causes them to part paths and only Takezo returns to their home village of Miyamoto. With fellow survivor and childhood friend Matahachi, he decides to become “invincible under the sun,” the best swordsman in all of Japan. Still going by his birth name, Shinmen Takezo, we first meet our protagonist having barely survived the battle of Sekigahara, a conflict in which he notably failed to bring glory to his name. There’s little of the philosopher part of Musashi’s personality in this first book. This Vizbig edition collects three volumes of the series into one thick tome. Vagabond is a manga by Takehiko Inoue, better known for his pioneering basketball manga Slam Dunk. The most influential of these is Eiji Yoshikawa’s Musashi, a novel that created many of the “beats” that subsequent tellings of the story often use. He’s become a legendary figure, and there have been many fictional accounts of his life in Japanese media. Miyamoto Musashi, author of A Book of Five Rings, was one of the greatest swordsmen of his time (the 1600s) and something of a warrior-philosopher. Manga Review: Vagabond Volume 1 by Takehiko Inoue
