Keep reading: it is one of the best Manga I have ever encountered. It is a very sensible, mature and warm treatment of humanity, and works with one of the most interesting topics that any kind of artwork can present you: self-improvement.
The most interesting aspects of this manga, in my view, are:
a) The differentiation between a weak person and a Strong person. You see this in the contrast between Matahachi and Musashi. The significant thing that it shows is that both the weak-willed and the strong-willed person suffer with the same maladies and temptations: sexual desire, fear, anxiety, doubt, anger, laziness, envy, egocentrism, etc. The difference is not that the weak presents such problems and the strong is free from them, but rather that the strong person, despite fighting with such mental-spots and spiritual-mud, still keeps moving forward, despite the pain and the several voices that say “stop”. Like an oxen in the muddy rice fields, the strong person keeps walking forward, while the weak person shipwrecks in the ooze, over and over again. Even the strong spirit will sometimes drown for some days or weeks or months in frailty and failure, but it is just a matter of time before he will restart his walk toward the main goal.

b) The second aspect that I admire about this manga is the relation between art (in this case, sword fighting), the ego and self-improvement. It shows that most of us try to become great at some form of art to be able to scream to others that we are the best, that we are important, that we are going to be remembered, that we are above the common list and report of the human souls. We somehow want a stamp of “genius” or “invincible” or “unrivaled” that might set us apart from this organic world, this world of sweat and semen and hair and intestines and excrement and sickness and death. We want to feel that we are more seraphs than primates. The Coat of arms “GENIUS” is what we desire, the signature of our more-than-human status. However, in the end, such obsession with the self will end up corroding our art, making us bitter, nervous, fearful. The will of achieving success for recognition and fame is some kind od sublte poison. The real way to enlightenment is to do something only for the sake of doing it, to do something for ourselves, not for others; to do something because we feel good while doing it; to do something in order to become a better human being (and not to try to surpass humanity).
c) Another interesting thing in the manga is the difference between someone who is naturally more gifted at some art-form (Kojiro) and one who has to learn more by doing it, more by following the thorny and rocky road and vale of seat towards the slow improvement of technique. It is a lesson of how one can achieve great things even in a world where other people seem to be much more capable and gifted.
This themes are discussed several times in the manga, and I find them all very touching. There are hundreds of minor characters, most of them treated with compassion and warm humanity and comprehension.
