Boasting artwork that rivals paintings in museums, a story that echoes the depth of Zen and Stoic philosophies, and action-packed panels as thrilling as scenes from a blockbuster film, Vagabond stands, in my view, as the ultimate seinen manga — essential reading for anyone even remotely interested in a rich, thought-provoking, and emotionally engaging narrative. With every page, it explores not only the path of the sword but also the soul behind it. One can only hope that, with the patient brushstrokes of a master storyteller, Inoue will one day complete his magnum opus, allowing us to witness Musashi’s journey in its full, intended form.
