I've read the romances by Eiji Yoshikawa. I've read the story of his life by William S. Wilson, I do not have all the volumes of Vagabond but I do own a few and I have in my bookshelf The book of the five rings (Gorin no Sho). Yep, you can tell I'm a big fan. Finding that a manga of my favorite genre (shonen ai and yaoi) would bring him up, makes me very very happy... If someone happens to know other manga that talk a little about him too, please advise me
*-*
I think it started when I saw the movie "Shichinin no Samurai" by Arira Kurosawa. I did a little research about samurais and Musashi took my special attention. What I most admire about him is that all his life he pursued improving not only his skills and methods but seeking for a path of life with a philosophical approach. Another thing that made me so fascinated about him is that he made a lot of mistakes, like anyone does, but he had a strong mindset and was humble enough to grow a lot from it. If you happen to be interested on his story, I strongly recommend you to read his biography or his book (Gorin no Sho) or even watch a movie or documentary about him. He was an intriguing human being. (It is just my perception of the things I've read so, sorry if it doesn't make sense >.<)
I need to share with you guys... I like this story so much that every year since I've read this for the first time (2015), I come to this page and read it all over again. It's like a magaversary.
I've tried Amazon JP, RentaJP, Ebay, everything. They don't let me buy the raws (I'm BR). Is there ANY OTHER way to buy them? I want to promote the mangaka, who is a fucking genius, the plot is brilliant and the artwork is... omg. Please help, bros.
I've just bought (digital) chapter 13 from ebookjapan.yahoo.co.jp, bought chapter 12 there as well last month. If you want to buy physical volumes I guess you can find the 2 tankobon everywhere.
Pretty fucking pity I can't read Japanese, but the plot seems so dramatic I'm gonna cry ;___;.
THANKS A LOT!! I'm mainly searching the digital version of the chapters, so I will try to buy from the site you suggested. GRAZIE MILLE, my friend!

No problem! If I remember correctly the only thing you have to do before buying from ebookjapan is to create and ID account on Yahoo Japan and have a credit card (the only way to pay for purchases if you live outside Japan). If you need more help just come back here :).
IT WORKED AND I'M "READING" VOL 2. OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE. T.T (tears of joy)
Yay! :) The great thing about this manga is also the fact that you can buy single chapters after they come out so you don't have to buy the whole magazine every month or you don't have to wait for the whole volume to come out, so enjoy :)! Pity neither of us can understand Japanese though ^^".
There are translations for a couple more chapters out there so you can read along if you have the raws! But also I've read it using Google translate camera app on my phone pointing it at the computer screen... It's not perfect, but it helps a lot!
