Vagabond, Vol. 2 (VIZBIG Edition)
Three volumes in one! A prestige treatment of Inoue's epic samurai series with bonus content, color pages, storyboard samples and more!
Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior-philosopher, Musashi authored A Book of Five Rings, a classic treatise in the canon of world philosophy and military strategy. 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.
Enlightenment
Musashi sets out for Nara intent on challenging the warrior monks of legendary Hozoin Temple. But Musashi's growing feelings for his childhood friend Otsu; may prove to be a fatal distraction in his match against Inshun, the austere master of Hozoin's deadly spear technique!

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 and Lone Wolf & Cub omnibus mangas... all of these are 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 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.

The story is nothing short of amazing as I’m sure you’ve read, but the quality of the book is very questionable. I don’t know if the sewing is lack luster or they predominantly used glue but if you bend the page back in even the slightest they will come out and tear. I treat my books with care because I intend to keep them, even so the pages still tore out the spine of the book. Everything else was great but I simply can’t stress enough the actual quality of the book was the only thing stopping me from being able to recommend this to someone, I suggest buying the single volumes. I understand the 3 in 1 deal might entice you but believe me if I could go back I would buy the singles, these vizbigs are simply not made for the long run.

Both volumes 2 and 3 came in boxes with a small air pad that did nothing to cushion the book, edges and corners got bent, 2 came in a way that sitting on a shelf between books should fix but getting the rest of the series else where, amazon please use bubblewrap around books...
