Vagabond has been on hiatus for a decade, as Inoue paused the project due to health considerations and to pursue other works. He has since continued Real, his acclaimed wheelchair basketball manga that began in 1999. There is currently no indication that Inoue will resume Vagabond, yet its existing volumes are highly recommended for their complex narrative and captivating artwork.
