List of Vagabond chapters

The cover of Vagabond volume 37 as released by Viz Media in North America.

This is a list of chapters for the Japanese manga series Vagabond, written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue. It portrays a fictionalized account of the life of Japanese swordsman Musashi Miyamoto, based on Eiji Yoshikawa's novel Musashi. It has been serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Morning since September 1998, with its chapters collected into thirty-seven tankōbon volumes as of July 2014.

Viz Media began releasing Vagabond in English in North America in 2002.[1] Their release retains the color pages from the series' magazine run, and the company has published 37 volumes as of April 21, 2015.[2] Viz's release is distributed in Australasia by Madman Entertainment.[3] In 2008, Viz began re-releasing the series in a format that collects three of the volumes into one.[4] There are currently 12 VIZBIG editions released.[5]

Inoue posted an update on his website in December 2010, stating that Vagabond would not return until he regained "enthusiasm" for the series.[6] After eighteen-months, Vagabond returned to Morning as a monthly series in March 2012.[7] The manga went on what was supposed to be a four-month hiatus in February 2014, with the reason stated being for Inoue to work on research.[8] However, it was not until January 2015 that the series resumed.[9] The series is currently on an extended hiatus since May 21, 2015, with its 327th chapter, "The Man named Tadaoki", being the latest chapter.[10]
