Enlightenment by Way of the SwordReal-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior philosopher, Musashi authored A Book of Five Rings, a theoretical guide to military strategy still used today. But the path to enlightenment is an endless journey, and to get there through violent means--by way of the sword--makes mere survival an even greater challenge.
One with Heaven and EarthMusashi suffers a humiliating defeat against Inshun, the second-generation master of Hôzôin Temple. To prepare for a rematch, Musashi undertakes an intense spiritual and physical training regimen with a most unlikely teacher--Inshun's predecessor, the founder of the Hôzôin Spear Technique. To attain the focus necessary to take on the most technically proficient and deadliest fighter he has ever faced, Musashi will first have to confront his own deep-seated personal demons.

"I enjoy the first like 5 volumes of this series the best. Everything before you have to read about the damn blind dude so the story is split between the two and then some side characters get there own little stories. This volume how ever is great."

Vagabond Vol 3 VIZBIG Edition Takehiko Inoue 9781421522456 Books Reviews
- This 3-in1 volume monster of a book is very well presented, perhaps the best quality trade paperback for an omnibus manga you will currently buy. I own Naruto (soon to be Bleach and it's practically the same quality), Until Death Do Us Part, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Lone Wolf & Cub omnibus mangas... all of these titles pale in comparion to this VizBig Edition manga! When this book came in the mail it was a little heavy but upon opening the package I understood and immediately accepted the fact that I will do everything in my power to own all of these volumes. You will get your money's worth.
Everyone else wrote accurate enough reviews on the story of Vagabond so I would recommend reading those. I wanted to share my experience on actually owning the book. Even if you own the previous volumes, I would find a way to own the omnibus edition for the additional features like more colored pages. - After angering the swordsmen of the Yoshioka School in Kyoto, Takezo (now going by the name Miyamoto Musashi) travels to Nara to face Inshun, master of the Hozoin spear technique. Along the way he encounters the monk Takuan, who tries to get him to accept the true nature of his feelings for the lovely Otsu. He also picks up a young disciple and is stalked by an assassin of the Yoshioka school. Several extended sequences detailing the duel between Musashi and Inshun highlight Musashi's strengths and weaknesses as a fighter. He retreats to the mountains to continue training and soul-searching so he will be able to defeat Inshun at their next encounter. This volume also picks up on Matahachi's continuing deceitfulness as he tries to pass himself off under the name of a dead samurai, Sasaki Kojiro.
Amazing historical detail, rousing action, intriguing plot, and complex characterization combine with jaw-dropping artwork to make this an absolutely outstanding manga series. Highly recommended! - I enjoy the first like 5 volumes of this series the best. Everything before you have to read about the damn blind dude so the story is split between the two and then some side characters get there own little stories. This volume how ever is great.
- I like this manga very much, but since the quality of it is subjective find no reason to expand. Yet, I believe my opinion of the quality of the binding is very much objective, and it is not very good unlike the first volume, for some reason this one's pages seem fall off and, "spines" form in the back of the book (which is odd, since the first volume is thicker, yet i had no such problems with it).

- I started collecting this series because it is based upon the life and times of Miyamoto Musashi. I am a big fan of the Feudal era of Japan and all things Samurai.
Vagabond has not disappointed me at all. The third volume is as good as the first two. This volume is based upon a new foe for Musashi and we get to see a new weapon wielded. Without touching on any spoilers I will say that I enjoyed the book immensely. The sheer thickness of these books looks daunting, but I find that they are a fast read. I think the artist is very skilled and love that random full color pages have been interspersed among the black and white. I wish these came in some sort of large format hardcover offering but that does not detract from what has been a very fun series. The prices of these books are a bargain since you get a lot of story in each extra thick volume. The spines of these volumes look excellent on my bookshelves because they fit together to form one long image, like a puzzle. When it is completed I am sure it is going to catch people's attention. I do only give them 4 stars because the binding is not sewn, but glued, and the thickness can make it a bit hard to see the entire page towards the middle of the book. I will, however, purchase all of these, and cannot wait to read the whole series. - Dependable
