What I'm expecting:


What I get


We didn't actually get the Musashi vs Inshun rematch where been waiting for but we get some awesome prelude to a upcoming fight. This volume is more of a physiological battle between the fighters and some well written philosophy about swordmanship/martial art.

BEST VOLUME IN THE SERIES SO-FAR I'VE READ

[Nicolo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the most intense prelude to a swordfight ever. This is a character driven volume as the supporting characters are fleshed out further. Regardless, this volume is just really Musashi and Inshun waiting who would release the first strike.

This is another strong volume.

I'm someone who grew up with western style comics so when I first time got into Manga, it being black and white was huge minus for me. At some point I became indifferent and as of recently (about the time I started to read Berserk which has some amazing illustrations) I started to actually like it. For something like Vagabond it might even be better esthetic choice



I mean look at this. Simple, beautiful and effective at setting the atmosphere for the scene that follows.

So, apparently, in feudal Japan staring contests are already a trend. Kidding! I love Musashi's character development here!! This volume is freaking awesome. AND HEAVEN AND EARTH IS FRICKEN LIT AF

this manga is a work of Art.

[Himanshu Karmacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the great aspects of this series is how the author shows things from the perspective of the people Musashi is fighting. Really makes one wonder, are the people enemies, or just opponents?

And the boy becomes a man. Musashi is born.

[SajjadKarbar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Master Hozoin's master was dope AF.
I mean being all calm and in control like that gives me the goosebumps. His character's design and appearance were on point. that is exactly how I want to imagine a powerful sword master
Great artwork by the way.

🌟10/10

[Dhia Nouioui · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like seeing Takezo developing even more, as he is becoming a different man. I guess he deserves to win now.

“I don't think I'll survive long enough to make a name for myself.”

“Otsu. I don't want to die.”

“I am who I am. I must follow my own path.”

“Everyone shunned me. But I was the one who turned my back on them. But actually… actually I enjoyed spending time with you. Otsu, you were the only one. May she have a happy life.”

“What's wrong with me?! I'm nothing. If I'm destined to die, then that's alright too.”

“Heaven and earth. As the four season between heaven and earth flow in an endless cycle. So too, must man work his way through his own cycle of seasons continuous.”

“What's this feeling? I feel too calm. I'm facing the most powerful opponent I've ever known. I'm in mortal danger. Should I be feeling like this? I feel so calm. And my vision is so clear, I can even see the details in the leaves behind Inshun.”

“Do you truly believe that the way of the sword is so trivial?”

“My sword is one with heaven and earth.” – Kami’Izumi Ise No Kami

Začínat mangu od sedmýho dílu není značka ideál, ale co už. Shrnutí děje mi dalo vše potřebné, ztrácel jsem se u flashbacků.

Hlavní postava se chystá na odvetný zápas, ale místo mlátičky jsem dostal psychologii. Super, bavilo, pokračuju.

Pure perfection.

Rating: 7.71/ 10.00 | 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

[Ostrava · Rating 5 out of 5]

Most of this volume was spent on Mushashi and Inshun staring at each other, AND IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!

This is a masterwork of storytelling and visual art, and I can't fucking wait to find out how this fight ends.

[Peio · Rating 5 out of 5]

¿Cómo explicar que un manca sobre samurais está ayudándome con heridas que no sabía que estaban ahí? Es obvio que estéticamente y formalmente es una obra maestra, pero la finura para presentar determinadas enseñanzas es prodigiosa.

[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Now, I know that you're meant to raise the tension with these single-stroke fights, but this is simply too much. More than half the volume, nothing happens at all.

[Rafa Araujo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome art! and masterly Storytelling!

[Matty Dub · Rating 5 out of 5]

Masterpiece level of art and storytelling.

Anchored by a tense showdown, the world is developed by two old masters recounting their origin stories.

So good

Vagabond Volume 7

Esse volume vai dos cap 60 ao 68 continua com o Musashi tentando superar os próprios medos enquanto aguarda sua revanche contra o Ishun e que volume incrível com o protagonista agora mais calmo e concentrado visualizando a situação antes de sair correndo com raiva e atacar espero que no próximo a luta seja sensacional que possamos ver uma grande evolução do protagonista.

سيفي هو واحد مع السماء والأرض
مع طريقي لا حاجة لحضور السيف

[amira · Rating 5 out of 5]

المجلد ده بالذات فيه شيء بديع
كإنه رحلة مع تسامي روح وقدرات تاكيزو، رحلة صامتة ومع ذلك لها تأثير مهديء حتى في عزّ القتال

[Maria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pero, ¿si van a pelear o se van a quedar mirándose por más de ocho capítulos? 🙄🙄

[catita (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) · Rating 4 out of 5]

me demoré ocho años lo siento pero !! inshun!!!

[Kota · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this volume, many spreads and splash pages appear. So far, spread and splash page is not many so this volume has a large meaning of Vagabond, I think. In the story, two sword masters Inei and Yagyu past that they learned their way of sword is one with heaven and earth by the mightiest swordsman appears.

[Turpinpower · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seguimos con este manga biográfico, en un tomo en el que tras la marcha de Matahachi con Oko, Takezo vuelve a su lugar natal, la aldea Miyamoto, para avisar a su familia y a la prometida de este y también amiga de la infancia, Otsu. Sin embargo debido a prejuicios y malentendidos, Takezo se verá perseguido por la villa entera y buscarán darle muerte.

En este tomo vemos como el personaje todavía en su juventud tenía un espíritu muy salvaje y animal, no respetando la vida ajena, todo debido a una infancia traumática y la gente a su alrededor, que lo valoran como si fuera un monstruo y solo saben sacar lo peor de él.

Sin embargo, el camino hacia la iluminación y la salvación en todos los sentidos por la que pasará tras conocer al monje Takuan marcarán su vida para siempre y lo llevarán hacia su nuevo camino, el que será el camino de su vida y el que lo convertirá en el hombre que realmente quería ser.

Todo ello sazonado con acción perfectamente ejecutada, profundidad narrativa, geniales diálogos y caracterización de personajes y, como va a seguir siendo costumbre, un dibujo tremendo.

Mencionar que Vagabond tuvo dos ediciones por parte de Ivrea y la que yo estoy reseñando es la segunda que salió unos cuantos años más tarde. Se diferencian en el logo de la portada, que en la original es de colores, mientras que en la reedición siempre es igual, de un metalizado satinado con relieve muy chulo.

La principal diferencia es que esta edición está retraducida, cuenta con páginas a color (siendo España de los pocos países del mundo que las han podido disfrutar en tomo y el primero en llevárselas en exclusiva) y una sección al final de cada tomo de aclaraciones, que cuentan todo el contexto necesario para disfrutar al máximo de esta obra, dando un montón de datos históricos y de otro tipo relevantes con el contenido de cada tomo en cuestión. Así que la edición de Ivrea no podría ser más maravillosa, demostrando que es una de las mejores editoriales de la última década en este país, y que realiza una edición a la altura de lo que merece esta increíble obra.

¡A por el siguiente!

This manga keeps getting better. (And now I am torn again between wanting to read more and pacing myself.)

Most of the time, the art in any comic book, whether Western or Asian, basically just *is* for me. That is, I obviously see it and notice it, and like it or dislike it, but that's it. Unless there's more, and it just really speaks for itself. The art in this manga is just so damn amazing, I am again and again just -dumbstruck by how amazing it is. There are times when I turn a page, and there's no word, but it still speaks so loudly.

Incredible. I love this.

[M. Ashraf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Though there was no fighting and they both stood there it was a great intro to what I hope an amazing fight, to redeem himself in the next volume.
The artwork is great.
The backstory is awesome!

My Sword...Is with Heaven and Earth.

This volume had the most important lesson of all!
Discipline the mind before disciplining the body!
