If you liked Vagabond add

...then you might like Azumi add

As much as I like strong female characters (who aren't overly sexualized!), I can't say that I like this series. I find Azumi to be rather flat especially when it comes to plot and characther depth. There's a whole lot of bloodshed and character death, but there is no real significance behind the killings because there is absolutely no character development. After a while you get numb to any and all death in this series and learn to not get attached to anyone besides the MC. If you're looking for something more profound, I highly recommend Vagabond. Like Azumi, the plot is set in feudal Japan and tells the bloody tale of a warrior trying to find a place for himself. Unlike Azumi, the plot and characters are exponentially more complex and more human/realistic because of their character depth and development. Don't get me started on the art because let me tell you, Inoue Takehiko-sensei is a master artist. IMO Vagabond is by far one of the most beautifully drawn stories ever, and just the overall quality of the series is so incredibly great. Please do yourself a favor and read Vagabond.
