Nice chapter, it's getting interesting again and the art is a bit better than last time.
Can't wait for the next one!

It was a nice chapter. Seeing matahachi in Kokura was pleasing and expected. It is only a matter of time until we see others such as Takuan, Ittosai and so on.

I am really interested in seeing how Kojiro as a character will develop from now on. Him becoming a instuctor and a Warrior for the Castle will be interesting to see and it is also something that i have been looking for.

I wasn't expecting another chapter so soon so this is a pleasant surprise. Looks like Matahachi is back, interesting to see what role he will play from here. Good chapter, Kojiro was entertaining as always.

Lel'd how Kojiro poked Kaede in the end of the fight... :D

So it looks like Matahachi is back....just hope he won't start pulling off his bullshit again......

Oh the ol' good Vagabond. The series is truly back now!

So Kaede was a female? Didn't see that coming. She sure gave some trouble to Kojiro with that shoulder thrust.

Excited to see how Kojiro will develop, and will he be able to speak two or three words later on? This was an awesome set up chapter, along with Matahachi in the end.

That scenery at the sea... Wonderful.

Matahachi is finally back, nice.
And once again, Vagabond delivers with great panels.

is it just me or did the art style change compared to the pre-hiatus chapters? the panels look more polished than usual now

Matahachi's return at the end was a nice surprise

Super nice to see Matahachi back in that last panel. I'm glad to see he's gotten some character development as well haha

Inoue, as always, delivers.

I started reading the original material, Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, a couple of months ago, and until where I'm at, the Sasaki Kojirou of the novel is a much better villain. Actually he doesn't even look as a villain in the manga.



And Matahachi, if you want this Matahachi dead then wait until you see the novel Matahachi. That guy is just too fucking dumb of a person you don't want to see him dead because death is too much for him. You want to see him die slowly.

Oh and as a reference, Kojirou had a monkey with him all the time in the novel, that's why he's called a monkey here.

The manga on its own is still pretty decent, there's still potential for some great confrontations and let alone the amazing quality of the art. And it's nice to see the series back after a long time.

Well he never was supposed to be a villian anyways. Thats not how he is presented in the Manga. He is the rival of Musashi,pretty simple. What makes kojiro special in the manga is his deafness and how he interacts with people without using words, but rather expressing himself through his sword. One reason why i llok so much forward to his battle with Musashi is to see his interactions with him.

Exactly this. Vagabond is a fictional biography for Musashi's life(a version by Inoue). So like the book by Eiji Yoshikawa.

Matahatchi has also arrived at Kokura! Things are slowly shapping up as everyone is heading to Kokura other then Otsu and Jotaro.
I hope Takuan arrvies next and then Musashi! I have no idea where this is gonna go from here even though I only got as of this day 3 chapters left.

At all the people complaing about the art, its also the quality of the scans that take away a little bit as I have every Volume at home from Vizbig and it looks way better offically published even at it's peak
I also wonder did Inoue switch to digital from that Arc onwards?
