He regards the artwork for Vagabond as a challenge in contrast to Slam Dunk and Real. [10] The author clarifies there are other activities besides fighting which are important for the protagonist. Should Inoue make Miyamoto constantly follow fights, the main character would die. Rather than tell a story, Inoue wants to shows the life of Miyamoto which he considers poetry. When Musashi comes face to face with Sekishusai, Inoue tries to make the artwork appeal to the readers. [11] [ specify] In contrast to popular belief, Inoue's Musashi does not follow bushido but instead a more unique path with a growth path that he finds realistic. [9] Moreover, he does not consider Musashi a samurai, but instead as a ronin. [6] Other changes Inoue put when writing the manga was to make the supporting characters have different personalities from the novel. Inoue also expressed difficulties when drawing scene were the characters are wounded, most notably when Musashi battles the 70 Yoshioka which took a lot of energy to properly make. This scene was also a new idea he had when writing the manga as he felt that Musashi required a major challenge than in the novel. [12] Production [ edit ] While borrowing content from the Musashi novel, Takehiko Inoue took liberties when writing Vagabond, most notably the fight between the protagonist and the 70 Yoshioka which was one of the hardest to draw.

Manga Info :

These are more so just general thoughts I had and less about things that I liked or didn't like. They may seem more like criticisms or critiques but as stated above, this story hasn't reached it's conclusion just yet. So it would be harder to judge or critique as of right now vs once I have completed an arc.
