See my review of Vol 1 with the addition that by Vol 3, a lot of the art issues have gotten cleaned up, so it earns an actual 4 star rating.

This series is overall very good but could have been better if the events where maybe more developed. It’s an old series after all so I’m not really disappointed it’s the opposite actually, I really enjoyed it and I like Vash’s character a lot. However events occur way too quick one after another so we barely have the time to catch a breath and it kinda mess with the revelation at end where we see that Vash is indeed not human. It takes away the surprise effect because things moves too rapidly, even with Wolfwood’s appearance : coming in the lasts chapters really quiet down his role in the story.
But except every points I mentioned, this series is very enjoyable and pleasing to read nonetheless! I’ll be looking forward to read Trigun Maximum!

With multiple assassins after him, Vash must grapple with his rule against killing while struggling to keep his past a secret from Cheryl and Millie - but the pressure is building, and the one who killed his old friend Rem is soon to awaken and reveal the truly apocalyptic power hidden within Vash! Nightow brings this fascinating trilogy to an explosive close, its crammed plot and shoddy artwork nonetheless carrying plenty of excitement and heart til its final panels. Can Vash overcome such a powerful set of foes in time to protect the planet?

Don't worry. Your smile's a pretty nice compliment by itself. I've seen too many smiles from people who were hollow inside. A smile seems to suit your face, though.

What the hell? I mean really, what the hell just happened?
This is the type of manga that I assume it's going to give me one thing but instead it gives me something completely different. I don't know what happened but I felt like I read an entirely different manga.
At first I thought that this series was going to be a western/action type of series. You know, like those western movies that take place in a small town that’s right in the middle of the desert that looks more like the Sahara Desert instead of a U.S. southwestern desert. And so the manga proved to be exactly like that. It was just an action flick that followed the main character and his fights against people wanting the bounty on his head.
It seems very similar to the manga Rurouni Kenshin. The main character is a powerful samurai and everyone he comes across wants to defeat him because he’s labeled as Batosai the Man Slayer. The difference between the two series is the ending. And I’m talking about Trigun Deep Space Planet without the Trigun Maximum series. So if I missed a couple of plot points then I apologize.
The story is about a man with a huge bounty on his head named Vash the Stampede. He is known as the cause of destruction for the city of July and so he’s labeled as a dangerous criminal. For three volumes, a lot of criminals or bounty hunters try to hunt him down to collect his bounty.
Most of the manga was kind of boring. It was the same thing over and over again. Vash enters a city and there just happens to be trouble and he has to deal with the villain with the typical hero goal of not killing his enemies. The first couple chapters are okay but after volume 1, it gets old really fast. It also doesn’t help that the series has just a little too much comedy. The comedy is in all the wrong places too. It seems like there’s going to be a badass action scene but then it places in some comic relief and the comedy just ruins the action because it’s really stupid.
The ending was really confusing and the scenes with Vash and his past are all done in quick scenes. There’s no flowing story to them. There are just bits and pieces of his memories and there is this character called Knives that I had no idea who he was because the third volume was never clear on his identity. At first, I thought that he was a computer program that took the image of Vash and for some reason hated humanity. There’s also this backstory of humans trying to alter the planet so that humans can live on it. Apparently humans used all their resources and now the planet is unable to support the human race. So there are hundreds of large spaceships orbiting the planet with the whole human race in hibernating tanks except for a few people. I only saw Rem and Vash but I’m pretty sure there were more people like Knives.
The ending threw me off when Knives woke up and they while they were fighting they mentioned something about angels and how the two of them were powerful beings that were above humans. (This could be a translation error but I saw them mentioning beings like angels.
Uh . . . what?
The action western . . . I could deal with. But when you start adding fantasy elements to a series that’s supposed to be an action western with a bit if sci-fi elements . . . I’m out.
Since there wasn’t a huge cast of characters I’m only going to talk about three. The three characters are Vash, Millie, and Meryl.
Vash is the main character and he’s likable enough. He’s your typical hero that is nice and decent. He’s a bit of a pervert, kind of stupid but he’s so nice that you can’t help but like him. He’s kinda funny but he also has the overused attitude of ‘I’m too dangerous so I keep my distance from people’. I’ve seen it so many times before and that trait is getting old fast.
Millie and Meryl are okay but the problem with them is that they aren’t shown very much in the manga for them to have any character development. Millie is an airhead so she’s used for a lot of comic relief. Meryl is uptight and always yelling at Vash . . . and that’s it from these two. These ladies don’t have much personalities at all. They are boring but to the manga’s credit they are not in the series a whole lot. If anything, they're kind of in the background doing whatever to keep the plot moving.
The other characters are not that interesting and completely forgettable. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is about as interesting as a box of plain Cheerios without the honey flavor. Wolfwood is intended to be this nice guy who’s a bit of a flirt but also has some sort of dark history. But we barely see him and he’s still boring when he shows up.
The villains are also boring. They have fun techniques for the fight scenes but they villains themselves are a bit dull. They talk smack to Vash and that’s about it. Yeah, kinda boring there too.
I know some people loved this series but I’m sorry. I didn’t like it and I probably won’t read Trigun Maximum. I’ll just watch the anime and see what happens.

A lot of things were vague and ambiguous but among the three volumes of this Trigun, this is what I like the most! I might be jumping to Maximum sooner than I think!

Legato advirtió a Vash de lo que le esperaba con un reguero de sangre a sus pies y, como tanto temía, esa advertencia se cumplió. Huir o pelear; ambas opciones tienen consecuencias desastrosas. Como una calamidad a punto de llegar.
La trama llega de sopetón y dura como ella sola. A Vash le duele muchísimo hacer daño y es algo totalmente creíble; hay algunos libros que te hacen creer que el protagonista odia hacer daño a la gente y luego lo ves pegando puñetazos sin cuidado, mientras que en este caso se lo ve sufrir por cada bala disparada tanto desde su arma como de otras. Además, tenemos todo el tema de Knives, el cual es inevitable y la desesperación se siente real y tangible.
Puntos de bonus por la introducción de Wolfwood.

I wish I liked this volume, because it's got some of the better art in the series and Wolfwood is in it, and his relationship with Vash is rather cute. There's also just a lot of panels made to admire Vash's body, which is fun. And Knives' introduce is pretty decent. But unfortunately the volume compensates by upping Vash's sexism, which, while typical of 90s shounen, is still just as bad now as it was back then.
I'm still not a general fan of the character designs or ridiculous Very 90s costuming, but I do respect the artistry in the fight scenes and posing. The story also isn't very good. The sense of place and time isn't clear, and a good chunk of the story is "Meanwhile, Legato is up to no good", and the climax was... unfulfilling.
Milly is still my favorite character, but Wolfwood is up there, now. Legato and Vash are fun, and Knives is interesting.
All in all, if you want a classic shonen from the 90s... well I can't say I exactly recommend this, but if you really like "s-CRY-ed", "Cowboy Bebop", "Outlaw Star", "Marchen Awakens Romance", "Flame of Recca", or that kind of thing, this might be for you. If you like "Trigun: Stampede", there will be a number of elements here that you can see I the anime, but a lot was changed.

What's Wolfie up to? This must be filling in some things that were sort of vague and undetailed in the anime.
Also for anime fans who are considering reading the manga: there are things in the anime (at least the version on Netflix) that are different than in the manga. Aside from the order of the plot, etc, there's more gore in the manga. Things that are only implied in the anime are either plainly stated or else shown. The Plants are drawn differently and come off a little bit more grotesque. And then there's Knives' first appearance which includes a two-page spread of him undergoing some sort of rebirthing from a (female) Plant which felt really off.
It's less disturbing than Sandman, though.
Probably an 18+ manga.
