News flash. I've read manga for thousands of dollars, completely free. Whoah.

etc.
Where can I read the first couple of hundred chapters without using a leecher site?
It's on hiatus, but I haven't heard any news on it in a long time..
THEY OFF THE BOAT
It began with Berserk, stirring in its slumber, waiting, watching, boat
So, uh, what’s the big difference between those reups and the chapters that were already uploaded?
Historie, Vinland Saga, and Vagabound all releasing around the same time? Manga that take forever to be released all in the same window of time...conspiracy
ummm... triple dupe?
for having read the 2 novels, I confirm it as well
and the battle itself is rather short, though the author can surely fill several chapters of inner monologues
however, the manga might be extended with side stories like the childhood in Mimasaka, Miyamoto's run with brigands, Ochie's "adventures"
....
I really hope he's not taking a long break again..
The last chapter of the book details the fight between Musashi and Kojiro; so, i'm afraid not.
Thanks, but I already did that years ago, so I know facts I am asking about the fictionalized tale.
What I wanted to know was, if the story of Musashi (novel) went on, after the duel with Kojiro?
Kojiro is so annoying to me, even if I know his background story and I know why he acts like that (or more like why he does not act like a regular person) I still get annoyed with the way he acts, mostly because I think that he at least partially acts like that because he knows that he can get away with that kind of behavior.
you can already wiki miyamoto musashi, and it gives you a basic view of the different steps that we read here in vagabond. From my understanding, we are more or less in the middle of musashi's life
But the autor plays a bit with the order of event's (like encountering iori before his battle with kojiro). I did read SPOILER
[that kojiro died from duel with musashi, so i hope the autor will find a creative solution ('cause i woudn't want kojiro to die...)]
hope this helps?
Kojiro seems to have a lot of fun there~
Some words of advice. The next time you want a powerful warrior as your man, give him a background check. I only feel that this will end for Kojiro like it did for Bushido Brown in Boondocks.
Thanks, that was quite informative. Actually I am always interested in the background of these historical references in fiction. But I get why some readers here are irritated about your post... You should use some "one liner" catch-phrase to get attention, then use spoiler to your wall of text, it would lessen the itch for haters while people interested would still read it.
Anyway, my main question... I want to ask for somebody who read the Musashi (novel), how much of Musashi's life had Yoshikawa-sensei covered?
Finally.. next chapter can't come soon enough!
Fuck all those religious people in the comment section. This is a comic site for God' sake!
Would you prefer "elevens"?
They don't care and neither should you.
You could have omitted the entirety of your 3rd paragraph, you know. Or rather, most of your entire post.
I never questioned Catholicism was preached as the only path to salvation, but the priest arguments that pretty much everyone born before Christ is in hell, kids included (!). Nobody ever believed that and it's ludicrous of you to make such a claim.
As I tried to say in my post, this depiction of priests as nonsensical absolutists is a result of the Japanese's historically flimsy understanding of Christianity.
(This is a quote of Moloch, I screwed up the format).
In Dante's divine comedy there is a special place in the first circle of hell which is not so bad and reserved exclusively for greek philosophers and the like, which were born before jesus but had exceptional merit.
The divine comedy is not part of the dogma, but it was massively popular, so at least the idea was there in popular culture.
