Vagabond #9
By: Takehike Inoue
Published: November 17, 2010
I have been reading this series on and off for the past couple of years. My interest in period Japan guided me on the journey of reading and enjoying Vagabond. The books do carry a “Explicit Content” warning. Therefore I would not recommend this for young manga readers. There is a lot of fighting, with exquisite illustrations that are dark, with some sexual content sprinkled in here and there.
Musashi is the main character who is on a journey of personal growth. His battles on the field are just as important as the battles within himself. Although this series is meant for entertainment, one can use it to periodically self reflect along with Musashi. Inner growth and understanding one’s purpose in life is indeed a journey.
Highly recommend this series. Each book is thick, with vibrant colors on the outer cover. Once you collect several of the books, line them up. Watch the spine develop into an amazing photo which is an extra treat for collectors.
Rating: 5/5
