| Seeing the art of this chapter is really depressing. We went from having amazing artwork to this, that while not being bad, is pretty underwhelming when compared to how it used to be. It has been like this since the 300 chapter mark, more or less, so it's safe to say it'll stay being like this until the end. The chapter itself was pretty chill. Finally the farm arc is over. |
| I am glad it's finally back... It was quite nice summarizing chapter and pretty good start of new arc. Actually I think the art was quite fitting for the last, more philosophical focused arc... So I am not surprised that Inoue used it again, since it could be a drastic jump for tankobon readers. My only complain would be lack of backgrounds on to many panels. |

We went from having amazing artwork to this, that while not being bad, is pretty underwhelming when compared to how it used to be. I actually love the new art style. It's different but definitely carries the same kind of tone. The stylistic choice also distinguishes it from other Inoue Takehiko series, like 'Real'. Color spreads, if not better, are still on par as always. A couple of questions though. Does Otsu still love Musashi? And has this been confirmed the be the final arc? |

I disagree with the 'new' style part. It's practically the same, but less detailed and more sketchy. Older chapters had hands down one of the best artworks of any manga, now it's just normal. |
SIOPAOBUN said: Does Otsu still love Musashi? And has this been confirmed the be the final arc? As for the first question, I believe so. Although the village's people praising her beauty, but regretfully stating that she has a man she's in love with, leads me to believe that Otsu has said such thing directly to them. And as for the second one, if we're judging historically, it should not be the last one. Maybe this will be the arc where the series' climax will happen, but I believe that it will have short mini arcs afterwards. As for any confirmations, I am not aware. Nice to have a legendary series back. Jotaru training to become a samurai huh! Quite nice. Musashi lecturing the rouge samurais, and lol at "That was a long piss"! xD |
| I forget almost everything. All i can remember is the farming. @_@ well time to reread. |
| Good Chapter. Overall a nice Comeback. Musashi's words towards the people he called a ''Reflection'' of his old self was definetely my most favorite part. The Art looks extremely sloppy, which i don't understand. Back in the day it was easily better. It was nice seeing other character's such as Kojiro. I am extremely interested in how he will interact in his new position. About Otsu. In the last manga exhibition there was a Big Hint with whom she will end up with. |

| Its certainly painful waiting for this series but while some disliked the farming arc I thought it was absolutely great, after all this is a tale of an extremely rough swordsmen who aimed to be the greatest and along that path evolved into a legendary swordsmen/philosopher. |

Artwork can not be analyzed only by the trace of beauty, but his cartooning, angle, setting, pacing and photography and symbolism of it. And this is stronger point of Inoue. [spoiler]Pages like this  On this page we have the presentation of a solitary character, where we see him leaving the page and then returning to the sleeve. First we have three simple frames made in the form of inverted ladder, making every frame the character distances himself more, so in the third frame it already appears back giving the impression that leaves the scene. When the next frame is displayed in the earth, the character's connection to the sleeve, which brings the character back to that in the last frame to appear alone with only your name. And to see the character alone, connected to earth, the author makes the remembered all cargo reader that the character carries, and throughout your journey, all this shows us how the name is Miyamoto Musashi, all done with a simple representation of art. |

| helloooooo |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Yes! The boring arc finally ended. |
 |
| Oh how much I've missed seeing Otsu, her character is my absolute favorite in Vagabond. Jotaro you've grown so much! |
| Returns to the Kojiro story!! Jotaro grow up!!! |
| The farming arc is my most favorite arc so far. Interstice said: About Otsu. In the last manga exhibition there was a Big Hint with whom she will end up with. Well, that's just break my heart. Even though I've assumed that Musashi and Otsu will never end up together, but I really wish they would. |
| It's been a year since Musashi and Jotaro's last meeting, right? I guess Jotaro seems a bit too old now, being 15 |
| Holy shit Jotaro grew up! |
| How long is otsu going to remain just out of reach. I thought Musashi would have made up his mind at this point |
| Sci-Fi Enthusiast |
| Jotaro has grown so much! |
