some people are saying that he published the end of vagabond, no it's not the end of vagabond we can say the end of musashi maybe, the exhibition was in 2008, and the manga stopped in 2015, we know inoue was working on vagabond and REAL in the same time( he has a family and kids ....working 24/7 is no good) , and the man is getting old guys , which i think one of the major reason why he stopped, and took break .....as some sources say now he will end real and he will get back to vagabond..

Honestly I already made my internal peace with the fact that Vagabond will likely never have an end. Musashi's story and history is extremely rich, the book by Eiji Yoshikawa is amazing and if you like Vagabond, you should read it, since it was Inoue's main source for writing and drawing the manga, especially at the beginning. We'll never get to see Musashi and Kojiro's legendary duel at Kokura depicted in the amazing and breathtaking art of the sensei, its very sad, but at least we got to see Musashi finally comming to terms with he's ego and the dream of being the strongest.

I understand the feeling, but honestly we should probably not put any more pressure on him than he already has. It was the same with Miura sensei: ''When is berserk coming back?'', ''George R.R Martin LOL'', ''Ah, c'mon another hiatus?''... And then he died. It's better to have an unfinished masterpiece story than a finished one with a clearly-wasn't-feeling-like-writing-this-but-was-forced-to-do-it-anyway ending. I know a lot of people might still want an ending, and that's okay, but when despite him having said, apparently, that he just hasn't been feeling like writing it, and feels pressured to keep doing it just to prevent ''troubles down the road'' and people keep asking nonstop, I'd say that's not cool.
