wtf? op is like in the 10s in america. I misread what you typed. (we leechers? this coming from someone who actively reads berserk, which is licensed.

) In any case, i guess the fact that viz is going to release them is btter than nothing.

I read Berserk scans only cause i was already on 28 vols+ when the first book came out in english. It will take 20 years before DH realese the vols we are on right now. I of course collect Berserk.

Vagabond i can read the scans but i dont cause i support my fav mangakas when thier books are out in english.

Thats why i said your leechers, cause i dont see how you can like vagaond and read the scans when the book version is only 3 vols after japan but thats me.

OP i buy the swedish books who are on vol 33, so we are actually ahead of US and NA MUHAHAHAHAHA

Good for you.

I actually read Vagabond vol 1 in the scans but then i saw the books in the comic store.

I dont know how but the art is soo much better in book form.

I cant wait until i catch up to you guys.

well, i dont buy english books anymore at all but i do support the japanese business (however indirectly) by buying tanks. I must have at least 100 tanks. I would buy vagabond and actually did try to get volume 23 but the seinen tankos are much more expensive than the shonen tanks and i spent way way way too much money on manga that particular time. I did buy volume 22 of the slam dunk kanzenban, on a related note, so some of my money helped him out... (besides, i make no qualms about it. I am most definitely a dirty leecher)

Can you read them?

Or just collect them?

I would buy Slam Dunk books despite i cant read,just to look at the awesome games and art.

Hehe i am a dirty leecher too, i just feel less guilty cause i buy some of the books when i can

Piracy, FTW!

It is possible, of course, to be reading scans AND buying the most recent volumes as they are published. A scan is no substitute for a hard copy, espescially not for brilliant works such as Vagabond or Berserk.

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 4:33 pm

Exactly, which was why i was suprised there was people reading the scans of Vagabond.

Of course you can read the scans and then buy the books.

But its something magical reading the books for the first time in your hands.

I wish i didnt read the scans of Berserk before DH realesed the books.

Cause lately, i reread the first vol by reading the first book from DH.

It was awesome reading the book.

I actually do own the first 10 volumes of Vagabond. That was before I found the scans though.

Post by **N3oShweaty** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 1:40 am

well, our official stance (ko-scans at least) is that you guys should go buy the volumes as soon as they come out. I am a college student so it is tough to set aside any money for manga but ill try. Vagabond is worth it.

Also, libaax, i can only read some of the manga that i buy so it is mostly for collectors purposes until i actually can read which is when i plan on becoming only a translator and get out of the editing manga business because it is incredibly annoying.

Finally Caught up to the latest chapter of Vagabond... and I would have to say I like it, I cant wait for this big fight coming up.

Post by **Starnum** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 2:59 pm

The new chapter is out.

**Semi-spoiler**

There goes that hand we were talking about.

Spoiler
He looks dead if you ask me, and not only lost a hand

Post by **Starnum** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 11:50 pm

Yeah, that's because the chapter after the last one came out after I made my post. Yeah, he's a goner at this point, lol.

On the up side, it looks like the entire Yoshioka clan is actively intent on killing Musashi before he can leave Kyoto. Should be one hellish fight.

Perhaps they will make him the new Head of the Yoshioka...

Here is a link to the most up to date Vagabond Chapters... someone else posted it but here it is again for those who dont feel like searching

Oh, a new chapter. Cool, thanks.

Matahachi is really going out of his way to alienate himself isn't he.

Post by **Sandman** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:49 am

Yeah he is, but I think he will serve some purpose to the end of this story... did he give the deaf kid his samurai cert I forgot, he will probably get in the way of a fight between him and Tanzeo but I guess you never know what part he will play

Post by **Artezul** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 11:54 pm

The only thing I can see him doing in the future is:

1. Betray Takezo again
2. Kill Otsu out of spite
3. Involve his mother, leading to her death
4. Die a lonely death

And no, he still hasn't given it to Kojiro. He's been using it (I think) to make a name for himself, and I don't think he's willing to give up his delusions of grandeur just yet.

Post by **Devil_Dante** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 1:06 am

My guess is that he is going to help Takezo against the yoshioka school.
