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-philosopher—the most celebrated swordsman of all time.
In the aftermath of the bloody Battle of Sekigahara, Sasaki Kojirō, the man destined to be Musashi’s opponent in the most famous duel in Japanese history, finds himself alone amid desperate refugees and vicious hunters. Driven by his macabre thirst for battle, Kojirō is transformed into the ultimate swordsman.
