EVERYTHING!!!!!! |
| Foremostly, a character driven story coupled with refined and masterfully executed artwork. Vagabond doesn't leave you astray (except the hiatus) with its narrative, on the contrary it invites you in to introspect and contemplate about yourself. Characterizations are substantially one of the effective points of this series. Although, this very aspect is really a twofold thing. I think, on one hand, it's very insightful to see the growth, developments of the characters and how they come to be but on the other side of the story, because of this overtly character-centric approach of storytelling, there lacks a broader objectivity of the plot, – "Farming Arc" being the exception, which is by the way, kills and revitalizes you with essential humane substances and providing historical anecdotes, i.e. a glimpse into those heartwrenching conditions of the subaltern people from that era. |
| Musashi, and more importantly his self journey of understanding himself, the world, heaven and earth and others, while questioning himself every step of the way, along with amazing paneling and art and dynamic fights make the manga great and stand out. The manga does have flaws. It suffers from repetitiveness and some incoherency with the order of the arcs, some forgotten minor plot points and inefficient use of some characters. All around the manga is amazing and certainly does deserve the praise that it gets. I think it is fair to at least agree on this. |
| So for me Vagabond is so good because before.i even knee about it I had listened to an audibook called Musashi which was probably the best audibook I've ever heard and tell the whole story of his life in detail with every character. So it was really cool to get to read a manga and see the characters and inous interpretation of what they look like which imo where spot on to what you would picture in your head. It's not like Vagabond has a magnificent plot with twists or huge action scenes and powers but it's just so good because of the amazing art which the mangaka never got lazy with plus the fact that it just immerses you into the world of Senkoku period japan which is one of the coolest periods in japanese history. plus you get all of the characters who each have there own story that's not bland or vanilla so everyone is interesting and the manga has zero filler chapters. Now if only Vagabond was a bit easier for people to read because it was kind of hard to get the books for awhile until they made new ones and there isn't any manga sites or apps that have scanned it in English for free that I've ever seen. Not sure if paid manga company's have it to read online either like VIZ or Shonen. But it's one that's worth paying for. I have a few of the copies and there expensive but worth it. |
