Description
The tale of Miyamoto Musashi continues in Vagabond (VIZBIG Edition), Vol. 12, a compelling volume that weaves historical fact with artistic genius. This special edition includes three volumes in one, presenting Inoue’s epic samurai narrative with bonus content, colour pages, and storyboard samples, making it a must-have for any manga enthusiast.
Miyamoto Musashi, inspired by the real-life figure who is regarded as the most celebrated samurai of all time, is a warrior-philosopher embarking on an endless journey towards enlightenment. Known for authoring A Book of Five Rings, a seminal work on philosophy and military strategy, Musashi's path to enlightenment is fraught with challenges, especially as he navigates the dangers and demands of survival by the sword.
In this volume, the intertwining fates of Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro draw ever closer towards what will be the greatest samurai duel in Japanese history. Sasaki Kojiro departs for Kokura to assume the prestigious role of sword instructor for the powerful Hosokawa Clan. His prowess and rising fame bring him into the spotlight, foreshadowing an inevitable confrontation with Musashi.
Meanwhile, Musashi finds himself at a pivotal moment as he grapples with the aftermath of vanquishing the formidable Yoshioka clan single-handedly. This victory, however, brings a profound sense of introspection. Musashi begins to question his relentless pursuit of invincibility and the deeper meaning of his existence. As he struggles with self-doubt and existential crisis, readers are drawn into his internal conflict, exploring the fine line between strength and vulnerability.
Vagabond (VIZBIG Edition), Vol. 12 continues to delve into themes of honour, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of mastery. Takehiko Inoue’s masterful storytelling and exquisite artwork vividly bring to life the turbulent world of samurai-era Japan. This volume enriches the reader's experience with additional content, colour artwork, and a closer look at Inoue's creative process through storyboard samples.
Whether you are a longtime follower of Musashi's journey or new to the series, this volume offers an immersive and enriching experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional manga. Immerse yourself in the profound and visceral world of Vagabond, where every sword strike and introspective moment is rendered with both precision and profound emotional depth.
