[spoiler] Heard it’s dark. Gimme that (to my future self: don’t cringe, I don’t mean it like that) Edit: now chap 59 (25.03.24) Edit: I‘m currently chap 79 (27.03.24). My thoughts: I HATE MATAHACHI AND HIS MOTHER he’s so annoying for nothing bro wtf Edit: chap 242 and I kinda cried. Not because she died, but because Musashi suffered enough and I suffer with him. I decided to be even more dramatic and reread the scene while listening to „love story“ TwT (10.04.24) Edit: it’s evening rn, chapter 268, I‘ll continue reading tomorrow. Also, Matahachi kinda nice currently (10.04.24) Edit: currently chap 301. it’s a bit confusing ngl. I don’t wanna see Kojirou, I wanna see Musashi T-T (16.04.24) Edit: chap 317. It’s gonna end in 10 chaps. I think I‘m gonna finish it today T-T (19.04.24) Edit: I just finished it. I feel really empty but I didn’t cry. Usually, I cry because it ends but this one doesn’t really end:( It was great. (20.04.24)
Shinmen Takezo is destined to become the legendary sword-saint, Miyamoto Musashi--perhaps the most renowned samurai of all time. For now, Takezo is a cold-hearted kiler, who will take on anyone in mortal combat to make a name for himself. This is the journey of a wild young brute who strives to reach enlightenment by way of the sword--fighting on the edge of death.
A phenomenal read, couldn't recommend it enough ! I loved Slam Dunk and decided to check this out, I was not at all disappointed when I was met with an incredibly compelling story that managed to make me cry and stressed me out greatly over the wellbeing of the characters. The art is like nothing I've seen before either and I adored the panelling style so much, I truly would love to see this rounded off with a big ending !
