Vagabond Volume 34 went on sale today, October 23rd, 2012,

At first I was just relieved that I was able to release the continuation from volume 33. However, T-Hara-san, my editor was so happy last weekend when he received a sample copy that I’ve been caught up in the happiness as well.

I’ve made you all wait for a rather long time.

I am deeply thankful for all the readers who have waited so long.

In other news, the website has been revamped.

I’m aiming to keep it simple. The idea is to have it so that I can imagine it as being within my reach.
Some parts are still under construction, but we’ll be updating those little by litle along with the areas that are already up.

Actually I haven’t ever made an update myself — I haven’t been able to. I’ve had my staff do it.
But I think I might be able to now. It feels like the hurdle to do so has gotten lower for me.

Please enjoy the new site.
