Aww, it's kinda sad to hear that it's ending, it's such a great manga ;3;
But I agree with his decision to end it within this year.

When a great manga ends is one good time to start reading it, because most great manga like Vagabond have painstakingly slow updates, which you won't have to experience when the series is finished (not to mention it sometimes ruins the pace, too, such as in Dogs: Bullets and Carnage).

Really? I felt that there was still so much material left to handle; easily good for a few more years.

On the other hand, if it gets wrapped up well, i'll be quite happy; at least it won't be another Berserk.

Surprised it's been going for so long. Definitely time to end it already. I'm curious about how he's going to handle the legendary last fight...

I've been waiting for this news for some time now. Definitely a good time to pick it up again (since the author seemed to jump between this and REAL, making the release date irregular).

I was just thinking that too as I read this news. Maybe I'll wait till the final chapters are arriving before I go on my binge.

Ah, damn. I don't want to see it end, but I guess I'm pretty excited to see how he chooses to wrap it up. I'll definitely miss it though.

Thanks god it'd finally end! I hope to see the new work of that mangaka (Real is a very boring manga though).

It's only an assumption.
As you know it, the author concentrates on Vagabond. Because the manga appears every year. Publication is slow.

It´s gonna be interesting how he will wrap things up. Hope it wont feel too rushed. But, I trust Takehiko will end it with style :)

Me, too. I read "Musashi" written by Y. Eiji, but it's really different from it, so I'm very curious. :3

anyone who has actually read about miyamoto musashi's life that is... :P
knew the ending was coming... but apparently it actually failed to conclude in 2010 (or mal has failed to update)

This guy is no doubt in my mind a legendary mangaka. He created my favorite childhood manga , Slam Dunk, a classic that stand the test time. The manga that singlehandedly cement basketball as the 'cool' sports in my country. Even in the art department, this manga was top-notch if you compare to what we have now, some 15~20 years later.

And now, he created the most beautifully drawn manga ever with Vagabond. So fucking talented that he could use brushwork and the consistency didn't dropped. I waiting for the last legendary battle and with Inoue, I know it won't be disappointing.
