DESCRIPTION:
A mixed bag of stand-alone stories. Usagi Yojimbo is the kind of quality work that transcends time, genres, demographics, and even age groups. It crafts a delicate and beautiful balance between honor and savagery, cute innocence and dark brutality, simple heart-warming stories and multi-part epics that shape a dense continuity. Whether . "A lighter read after the events of 18 and 19" according to Glenn. Throughout the series we have highs and lows. Not in quality but in what's happening to the characters. This book gives the readers a chance to catch their breath after the events of volumes 18 and 19, especially the end of 19.Most of these stories let us know what the less prominent characters are up. "Even at Sakai's worst, it's still better than others." according to romevi. Like many reviewers have already mentioned, this book may not be the strongest in the series. It sort of reminds you of Sakai's earlier days, especially books 1 and 2; but the artwork is still so much stronger than his initial stuff.This book is definitely a transitional one, leaving bigger plots out
In this volume of the internationally acclaimed series, master storyteller Stan Sakai treats readers to intriguing tales of Usagi on his own and catches up with a bevy of fan-favorite characters - "whodunit" maestro Inspector Ishida has another puzzling mystery to solve, bounty hunters Gen and Stray Dog are each on the tail of the possessed swordswoman Inazuma, bodyguard Tomoe has a new political rival in Lord Noriyuki's court, and Priest Sanshobo's temple is plagued by a vile demon! Throughout these stories we follow Usagi as he is roped into a covert smuggling operation, escorts a cantankerous old woman through dangerous territory, assists an inventor with a visionary flying machine and once again encounters a vengeful young samurai.
