>Vagabond is in its final arc >hasn't been updated

I feel that Kojiro really was suppose to be the friend. It would have more build-up and they could've had the historical fight play out accurately.

perhaps this is a big case of mangaka fatigue

Just started reading this manga, just got to where he challenges the school in kyoto
Is the manga, as a whole, worth the read?
I have not really been able to ascertain the protagonists motivations aside from wanting to be the best swordsman
Does he gain something better to motivate him and move the story forward or is this his primary motivation throughout the story?
I'd rather not be spoiled on the series, however I do wish to know if he gains a more meaningful motivator (not that there is anything wrong with his current motivation), I am just looking for a manga that has a more rich story and character motivators are a large part of that richness for me.
I would also like, without being spoiled as much as possible, if he spends the majority of the story alone. I really enjoy long lasting character relationships and the dynamics involved in more complex relationships.

> if he spends the majority of the story alone

he sometimes travels with another person but they don't really influence the story much

His motivation was like that IRL, so there's not much the author could do.

>>155824921
I don't know what people's problem with Farmland Saga is, I read VS 6 months back and slave arc was probably my favorite arc.

>>155827620
The same as you know who I am, there's only 2 people that ever talk about Baki in 4chan mate.

>>155827620
Also you pointed me to your translation.

>>155826341

>>155828161
We have at least the translator, 4 regulars and 2 memers. Pretty much the perfect fanbase.

That artstyle looks retarded.

I can't even remember the story anymore, when it starts again I might as well reread it.

It's designed on the basis of ukiyo-e art and Hogarth's Dynamic Figure-style. Hence, it's supposed to look 'that way'. But this is a Vagabond thread; please keep it that way.
