Retrieved June 28, 2009. Takuan lo cuelga de un árbol y lo obliga a hacer introspección en su propia vida. Es así como nos enteramos que la madre de Takezo lo abandonó apenas era un niño y, por ende, tuvo que criarse con un padre que solo sabía ser un asesino. Así mismo, la gente de la aldea lo tachaba de un pequeño demonio y se nota que vivió aislado de todos. Lo cierto es que lloré un poquito con este volumen porque me encanta Takezo desde el primer momento en que lo vi, pero ser un prodigio con la espada solo le iba a traer más dolor y aislamiento. Takuan le pregunta seriamente a dónde cree que iba a parar toda esa muerte y le hace reflexionar sobre su propósito en la vida, al mismo tiempo que le brinda esperanza para convertirse en un mejor hombre, alguien que dirija ese potencial hacia algo mejor.

Vagabond Vol. 9". Viz Media. Archived from the original on October 18, 2006 . Retrieved June 28, 2009. I see heaps and heaps of praise thrown on this series. People calling it a work of high art, a masterpiece of the manga format. And in certain ways I can see why. The art truly is gorgeous, filled with great character designs and environments. It's difficult to rate these incredible anthologies as individual volumes when they so clearly function in tandem with the other installments. It's one huge, epic story and to rate one over the other is like favoring a chapter of a novel over the others. They all work together evenly and effectively to create a stunning piece of art. The art is stellar, but much of the credit for the plot and characterization must go to Eiji Yoshikawa, author of the novel this manga is an adaptation of.

Vagabond Vol. 32". Viz Media. Archived from the original on May 12, 2014 . Retrieved October 3, 2010. I read and appreciated the first omnibus of Takehiko Inoue's samurai manga Vagabond late last year, but only got around to reading the second volume just now.Shinmen Takezo is destined to become the legendary sword-saint, Miyamoto Musashi--perhaps the most renowned samurai of all time. For now, Takezo is a cold-hearted killer, who will take on anyone in mortal combat to make a name for himself. This is the journey of a wild young brute who strives to reach enlightenment by way of the sword--fighting on the edge of death.

That's about it. There's a ton of drawn out fighting, banter about the philosophy of battle, and internal reflection, as well as a small side story with Mushashis friend whose name I forget. This massive tome doesn't even conclude the arc it sets up. It ends on a cliffhanger. In the wake of his battle with the famed Yoshioka school in Kyoto from volume 1, Takezo (now known as Musashi) finds himself with a host of new enemies (not a new experience for the vagabond, nor one he is likely to shake) and reunited with the monk Takuan and a young boy named Jotaro...more troubling to Musashi’s peace of mind is the presence of Otsu, whose beauty and compassion cause him no little distraction.

Musashi is distracted by thoughts of his other childhood friend, the lovely Otsu. She’s now the servant of a master of the Yagyu style of swordsmanship, who Yoshioka Denshichiro has come to train with in preparation for his next duel with Musashi. Takuan is a monk and he's no ordinary man. Mild spoiler alert, he helped Takezo turn his life around. The way he does this convertion I leave to the rider to find out.
