A Look at Manga- Trigun


Trigun was written by Yasuhiro Nightow. There are two different manga the first Trigun is three volumes and was released in April 1995 to January 1997. The second was Trigun Maximum October 1997 to May 2007, it was 14 volumes. The first release of the manga was sold out quickly and had to be republished.



Trigun revolves around a man known as Vash the Stampede and two Bernardelli Insurance Society emplyees, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who fallow him around in order to minimize the damages inevitably caused by his appearance. Most of the damage attributed to Vash is actually causes by bounty hunters in pursuit of the sixty billion double dollars bounty on Vash's head for the destrution of the city of July. However, he can not remember the incident due to retrograde amnesia, being able to recall fragments of the destroyed city and memories of his childhood past. Throughout his travels, Vash tries to save lives using non-lethal force. He is occasionally joined by a priest, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who like Vash, is a superb gunfighter with a mysterious past. As the series progresses, more about Vash's past and the history of human civilization on the planet Gunsmoke is revealed.


I'm just going to trow this out there Trigun gets weird. Not weird in a "oh ok" kind way but in a "uh" kind of way. Vash is born from plant that is powering a ship holding survivors of the human race. That's the only thing that I don't like about this series. Every thing else from Vash not wanting to kill any one. To the fact that an insurance company literally pays some one to fallow him around so he doesn't cost them more money. I really like the look of the manga and the whole world Nightow created. I just find the whole Vash is a planet to be to weird.
Next week I'm reading Chobit.
