a. I actually have a bit more icons made, but I couldn't wait to post these--so I decided to go back to my usual smaller posts this time. |D And this is also a kind of pimping deal, on behalf of myself and
tyir; we both feel that more people should definitely check out Vagabond. Or, in Santa 2's own words--
chaos centra: I JUST FELT LIKE I HAD TO READ IT
chaos centra: AND THEN WHEN KOJIRO CAME IN IT WAS LIKE 8D
...what. This is the worst pimping post ever, I know. I'LL REWRITE IT LATER. Maybe.
Wtf is Vagabond, no doubt you are wondering. 8| It is a pure slice of awesome, tbh. Actually, according to Anime News Network:
Growing up in 17th century Sengoku era Japan, Shinmen Takezou is shunned by the local villagers as a devil child due to his wild and violent nature. Running away from home with a fellow boy at age 17, Takezou joins the Toyotomi army to fight the Tokugawa clan at the battle of Sekigahara. However, the Tokugawa win a crushing victory, leading to nearly three hundred years of Shogunate rule. Takezou and his friend manage to survive the battle, and afterwards swear to do great things with their lives. But after their paths seperate, Takezou becomes a wanted criminal, and must change his name and his nature in order to escape an ignoble death. Based on the book "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa, Vagabond is a fictional retelling of the life of Miyamoto Mushashi, often referred to as the "Sword Saint" - perhaps the most famous and successful of Japan's sword fighters.
You can check it out at
One Manga and
Manga Traders, both are free of use. You can purchase volumes at
Amazon, of course! I'm personally very obviously biased, but the storytelling in this manga is rather good, the characters well-written, the art is beautiful, and the fight scenes are drawn...excitingly. I don't really know what other word to use(yes, yes, awful pimping methods, hohoho). It's not for the faint of heart though, there's plenty of bloody, violent scenes, and nudity/sex as well. However, if you're willing to give it a shot~;D
Also, it has an attack baby. See here.
