I'd be honest , coming back to Vagabond after 2 weeks had me forget where the story was , but thankfully as i read on i caught up fairly quickly . The book gave a ample share of it's pages to Matahachi's journey and i keep thinking that he is a real vile person , and i really dont see how his character can grow . Meanwhile another strong opponent , but this time the opponent is a forgotten element from Takezo's past .

As story as progressed I have gotten accustomed to the art style and the violence , and while the art isn't the best i have ever seen , it is still a spectacle and the violence often is limited to less than 10 panels but they leave a lasting impression . 

Sometimes it feels like the story is somewhat repetitive and stagnant, however at no times this results in me feeling dull . It's tense it's exciting and in the end it always keeps me hungry for the future installment
