Full disclosure - I did not make it through this entire series. I only read through volume 11 out of 37. The manga itself is based off the novel "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa. The theme of the manga is a fictionalized account of the life of Miyamoto Musashi, a Japanese swordsman. Coincidentally, I started reading this around the time one of my favorite bands, Sabaton, released the song The Duelist, which is about Musashi. Pretty cool!
So I pretty much already said what this was about. In the first 11 volumes, I saw Takezo (his original name) go around fighting people. He meets up with warriors and also people from his past. But for me, this manga dragged a bit too much. There were a lot of panels where nothing really happened, and in general, I wasn't as interested in the story as I thought I was going to be.
I wouldn't say this was boring. The pace was just too slow and didn't appeal to me personally. I'll move on to something else.
