Weekly Morning came out a day early because of Thursday's national holiday in Japan, and Vagabond introduced a couple of important historical figures to the story who are yet more definite signs that we really are inching towards the grand finale.
No spoilers here, though, only a few samples of Inoue's awesomeness via my iPhone camera.
Not a lot of action this week, so I'm posting some art from last week's episode.
I hope some will take notice of the striking lack of "manga-isms" in the art, while keeping in mind that this is one of the great Japanese masters of our time who isn't following the rules of what makes something "manga" as opposed to a "comic".
Takehiko Inoue is a true artist who lives well outsides the manga box that the self-styled otaku built and feel so safe inside in the confines of.
Manga...? Comics...? Who cares!?
This is art!
Enjoy!
