I picked this one up just to see what all the big fuss was about. A lot of times, big hype = big disappointment. But wow, this one did not disappoint. Maybe I'm a bit biased since I'm a fan of the genre, such as Blade of the Immortal, but I'd recommend this to anyone who can stand the gore. Also, some people thought nudity was "unncessary" though I think they actually fit in quite well and make the story more realistic. It's never done as fan service. Although I like story of Blade of the Immortal a little more (probably because of the lack of romance in Vagabond), Vagabond's realism and deep philosophy put it in a class by itself.
Throughout the story, the characters change slowly. It's got a lot more depth than I thought it could hold. Sometimes, it feels like there's just too much fighting - It's like killing someone was natural. Though the story's a bit too gory for me, I still enjoyed the read. Some unnecessary nudity and mature content, but just ignore that and the story's pretty good.

I find myself with no choice but to comment on how impressed I am by this Manga. I knew it was supposed to be great from everything I had seen and heard about it, but I put off starting on it for a while; I certainly regret that.
If you have this manga on your wish list, do yourself a favor and start reading it.

this is the perfect manga story with the perfect artwork
I'm really impressed. I've read Slam Dunk and I thought it was great, but Vagabond is exceptional! This is how a shounen manga is suposed to be.
i dont think it is slow.
story refreshing. artwork great
but one face for one page errr
thats why manga never beat u.s. comics

Call it slow, but for me it adds to the enjoyment of reading and at the same time admiring the quality of the artwork. I read the novel first, and I really like it, and when reading the manga just makes me like the story more and more!! The manga is actually faster-paced than the novel already lol maybe that's why I can cope. There are some scenes that are not discussed in the novel(s) (the edition I read was a compilation) but it's okay.
I'm so hooked to Vagabond now, can't have enough of it..!!
10/10 this is THE manga!

No fancy and over the top sword-play here, just brutal and realistic hack and slash with an awesomely kinetic art style. What would you expect from Takehiko Inoue, author of the Slam Dunk series?
sory for you but we dont use to read naruto or bleach
you cant change the fact
this manga is slow
also you can aim higher with a good pace
defianttly a must read
