However, all it takes is one Buddhist monk who steals the show, and Otsū, who is Takezō’s childhood friend and Matahachi’s ex-fiancée, to help reinvigorate Takezō’s purpose in life. Considering the brutality throughout with the majority of characters being utterly horrible, Matahachi’s mother Osugi is a highlight, Inoue shows genuine emotion towards characters who are more than just hate as the friendly embrace between Takezō and Otsū, who recently learned about her fiancé’s unfaithfulness, but learns to move on. There is also a rather sad side story of Miyamoto's childhood friend. Who, unable to keep up with his famous friend, falls into a cowardly life of struggle and eventually ends up a beggar. I'm pissed at myself for not getting around to this sooner but am so happy that I am now part of the bandwagon! This first volume is an easy 5 stars!

Since not much is known about the real Musashi, Inoue wanted to give his own take which he considers more modern than other related works. He regards the artwork for Vagabond as a challenge in contrast to Slam Dunk and Real. [10] The author clarifies there are other activities besides fighting which are important for the protagonist. Should Inoue make Miyamoto constantly follow fights, the main character would die. Rather than tell a story, Inoue wants to shows the life of Miyamoto which he considers poetry. When Musashi comes face to face with Sekishusai, Inoue tries to make the artwork appeal to the readers. [11] [ specify] In contrast to popular belief, Inoue's Musashi does not follow bushido but instead a more unique path with a growth path that he finds realistic. [9] Moreover, he does not consider Musashi a samurai, but instead as a ronin. [6] Other changes Inoue put when writing the manga was to make the supporting characters have different personalities from the novel. Inoue also expressed difficulties when drawing scene were the characters are wounded, most notably when Musashi battles the 70 Yoshioka which took a lot of energy to properly make. This scene was also a new idea he had when writing the manga as he felt that Musashi required a major challenge than in the novel. [12]Vagabond, Volume 37". Viz Media.

In this chapter, we'll take a closer look at the art style of Takehiko Inoue and how it enhances the overall storytelling experience. We'll also explore the historical accuracy of the art and how it reflects the culture and customs of Japan during the Sengoku period.Set in 1600, the two seventeen-year-olds Takezō Shinmen and Matahachi Hon'iden escape from the battlefield of Sekihagara, with the hope of their home village. What immediately stands out from the start, is the dynamic between the two young men as Matahachi seems like the innocent one who is waiting to get married when they return their home, whilst Takezō (who will later be renamed as Musashi) is the roguish one who is hated and feared by the village.

Production [ edit ] While borrowing content from the Musashi novel, Takehiko Inoue took liberties when writing Vagabond, most notably the fight between the protagonist and the 70 Yoshioka which was one of the hardest to draw.
