I have some question, what novel did Eiji Yoshikawa wrote that inspire Blade of the Immortal and Vagabond?

Takehiko Inoue, well known for Slam Dunk and Vagabond, but did he make any other manga beside that?

I really like Hiroaki Samura's art style. One of the best art along with Vagabond. But is Blade of the Immortal the only well known manga he did??

Yoshikama wrote Musashi, which told the story of Miyamoto Musashi's life.
REAL is an exellent manga by Inoue. Not yet licenced, its about wheelchair basketball, but is much diffrent from Slam Dunk. Its intended for older audiences and has more drama in it, and focus' on characters.
One of Samura's other works is the acclaimed Ohikkoshi graphic novel. Its a sort of love story (in a very odd way, but when is anything Samura does conventional) thats very funny, and portrays youth very well. I've read much of it (its not available in English so I'm reading with the help of a translation), and can say its an amazing read.
