Three volumes in one! A prestige treatment of Inoue’s epic samurai series with bonus content, colour pages, storyboard samples, and more!

Experience the gripping tale of Vagabond (VIZBIG Edition), Vol. 7, a stunning work by acclaimed mangaka Takehiko Inoue. This beautifully presented volume continues the legendary saga of Miyamoto Musashi, one of the most celebrated samurai in Japanese history. In this collection, readers are drawn deeper into Musashi's journey as he engages in a relentless pursuit of enlightenment through the art of the sword.

In the aftermath of the bloody Battle of Sekigahara, the narrative pivots to focus on Sasaki Kojirō, a formidable swordsman destined to face Musashi in one of the most iconic duels in Japanese history. Kojirō finds himself isolated amidst the chaos, surrounded by desperate refugees and ruthless hunters. Despite the adversity, his unparalleled resolve and almost supernatural composure shine through. Driven by an insatiable appetite for combat, Kojirō evolves into the ultimate warrior, embodying a deadly combination of skill and serenity.

This edition not only provides the continuation of an epic story but also includes an array of bonus content that enriches the reading experience. Appreciate the vibrant colour pages that bring Inoue’s exquisite artwork to life, delve into storyboard samples that offer a glimpse into the creative process behind the manga, and explore additional content that provides deeper context to the narrative.

The character Miyamoto Musashi, immortalised as a warrior-philosopher, famously authored A Book of Five Rings, a seminal work in the realms of philosophy and military strategy. In the saga of Vagabond, Inoue expertly delves into the complexities of Musashi's life, character, and enduring legacy. The manga portrays his path to enlightenment as fraught with challenges, where survival often depends on one's proficiency with the sword.

Vagabond (VIZBIG Edition), Vol. 7 is an indispensable addition to any manga collection, offering a rich, multi-faceted story complemented by striking artwork and insightful bonus materials. Whether you are a long-time fan of samurai lore or a newcomer to the genre, this volume is sure to captivate and inspire.

Join Musashi and Kojirō on their quest for mastery and witness the timeless struggle between two of history’s most extraordinary swordsmen.
