I haven't read vagabond (yet) but I know its based on Miyamoto Musashi and his philosophy but....is it actually good? And how long is the manga? I also hear that its not even finished yet.

I quit reading it after a couple of volumes because it was excessively violent.

It is excessively violent indeed, it has dismemberment and a ton of blood, if you like comics about overly violent warriors then you may enjoy. To me the art is beautiful and amazingly rendered, one of the most detailed manga I have seen in awhile, but the story has kind of fallen flat so far. To be fair I am very early on, but despite me specifically having an interest in Musashi Miyamoto and his philosophy and sword techniques I have been bored. He feels too much like a blank slate, he doesn't give any reason for being a warrior besides feeling like he is meant to and putting his intense murderous intent to the relatively noble cause of mastering swordsmanship. It could be a slow starter, but so far it has been a lot of drama and violence with no real motivation besides the fact that he is a gifted warrior who decides to take on the swordsmanship schools.
Unless it improves, I would rather read Berserk which has incredible detailed horror and violence as well as great characters and plot. Berserk is also still being published (although by a team after the death of the original author Kentaro Miura) so you won't have the same issue as the seemingly permanent hiatus Vagabond is on. |
