This large-trim definitive edition with gorgeous textured design collects three phenomenal volumes of the samurai-era masterpiece by manga legend Takehiko Inoue!

Striving for enlightenment by way of the sword, Miyamoto Musashi is prepared to cut down anyone who stands in his way. Vagabond is an action-packed portrayal of the life and times of the quintessential warrior-philosopherβ€”the most celebrated swordsman of all time.

In a remote seaside village, an abandoned infant is left to the care of a reclusive old man. This helpless child is destined to become Sasaki Kojirō—the legendary archrival of Miyamoto Musashi. Inoue’s unique take on this enigmatic figure lays the foundation for his fictional account of the most famous rivalry in Japanese history.
