Vagabond

Post by **Starnum** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 10:19 am

The story of the greatest samurai to ever live, Miyamoto Musashi! If you haven't read this, and you like period dramas, then check this out, because it's one of the best!

Yes it's awesome. Kenshin should cry in a corner in shame.

True it's one of the best mangas out there. Sadly there haven't been any updates to Manga-Sketchbooks scanlation of Vagabond for ages.

Does anyone know if there is another group doing this.
The last chapter I got was 93 by M-S. That was more than five months ago.

I have read the first 10 vol of this great manga and it really is the best samurai manga so far. The art,the story,the action evertying is topclass.

In a couple of days i will get my money then i can buy Vagabond vol 11 och 12

Yup I read the 10 first vols too and I totally agree : it's definitely the best samurai story around. I also recommend to read the book that inspired the manga... errr... don't remember the name. "Stone and saber" or something.

Excellent fucking manga right there

I actually read Vagabond and Kenshin at the same time and you cant compare their class.

What i love about Vagabond is that you get see more of how they lived in those times.

It'd be nice if I could talk my friend into scanning Vagabond, he has up to Volume 17.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 10:50 pm

I would like that also but i found vol 11 and 12 in the manga store so i prefer the real thing.

Are you willing to fork over some money for him to buy a scanner? If not, I don't see why you're talking.

heh, I don't know about all that.

Well, if you compare Kenshin to Vagabond....

Well that's my opinion anyway. Kenshin's too much talk with morals, while Vagabond's just hard core action and of course, more realistic. Plus I love the artist ever since slam dunk

Actually, I like Kenshin more, but that’s just me. Vagabond isn’t to far behind in the running though. It’s still in my top ten, and that’s saying something. Anyway, Vagabond is just as talkative as Kenshin. Have you seen the fight with Inshun? Vagabond is very philosophical, but I love that! There’s so much to kenjutsu then just swinging a sword around. *Taps forehead*

I like cause there is no super human skills like in Kenshin and in every other espect it better.

Post by **Eldo** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 12:55 pm

I lean towards Vagabond because it's written by the guy who did Slam Dunk.

And Kenshin was...well...too kiddy compared to Vagabond. That's what I think anyway. Vagabond was way deeper.

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:22 pm

Yeah it was to kiddy and to happy to be a real samurai manga.

Thats why i like Vagbond and BOTI they are hardcore and real samurai even to Manji is immortal:)

If you're saying that there were super human skills in Kenshin, there really weren't. Of course the techniques were embellished to make them see like super human skills but they were just normal techniques.

Superhuman is for example his ultimate technique, a move so fast that you cant avoid it and almost everything he did was superhuman skill,hi speed,everything. It was good and cool but not so realistic. Its still a great manga but just not compared to Vagabond,BOTI.

That's why I'm buying both of them
