Since it is receiving an upcoming new anime remake, I went on an adventure into Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba, made by the author of the more famous Detective Conan series.
Now, you might look at the dauntingly long Detective Conan and wonder how author Gosho Aoyama has time for anything else, but before he was detailing the adventures of teen-turned-boy detectives, he was telling a cheerful samurai adventure in a more accessible package with an actual ending.

Where To Start The Yaiba Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the original Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba anime and want to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 164.
What to Expect From The Yaiba Manga?
As an older shounen series, there is a lot of action which allowed the anime series to adapt through a lot of chapters quickly. However, the anime does cut a few of the jokes and smaller moments from the series, but keeps the core plot intact throughout.
The anime does have an anime-original ending for the finale episode, however. So disregard the last bit of the last episode and the manga actually kind of cleanly starts a new adventure.
Is The Yaiba Manga Over?
The Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba manga is complete. It ended in 1993 with Chapter 255.
Will There Be A Yaiba Season 2?
While a second season for the 1993 original Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba is not in the cards, it was announced that the series would be rebooted. While no premiere time frame for the more simply named “Yaiba” reboot of Legendary Brave Swordsman Yaiba has been announced, it was stated that it would be fully adapting the manga, unlike the original. However, given the length, I do hope that means more than one season.
If there is more than one season, you can find out where to continue the manga after the reboot here following the final episode.
