If you never read any Usagi trade before this is a good place to start. For a huge Usagi Yojimbo fan like myself, this book is awesome. In other words, this volume collects the 8th, 9th, and 10th volumes of the trade paperbacks, which is perfect for me because they are becoming unavailable on Amazon. This volume colleges all 16 issues of the Mirage comics and the first 6 issues of the Dark Horse series. Maybe it is because of how Usagi is portrayed in this comic book, because it is hard not to love him. This comic book makes me feel relaxed and I suddenly lose all my negative energy.

Saga begins with the first issues Dark Horse was allowed to collect beginning with the comic series published by Mirage before Sakai moved onto Dark Horse. This actually collects volumes 8 through 10 of the ongoing collections. It's never flashy, laid out in a way that instantly conveys the story, especially the action. Usagi is an honor bound samurai in a world of scoundrels out for themselves. There are stories of villages threatened by marauders and assassins after princesses. Even though the series follows anthropomorphic animals around, Sakai takes his work seriously. This actually collects I never thought I'd enjoy a series about a wandering rabbit ronin, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
I never thought I'd enjoy a series about a wandering rabbit ronin, but I'm happy to be proved wrong. It's going to be a lot of fun catching up. I'm sorry I didn't pick up this series sooner but at least I have quite a few volumes in front of me. Some of the stories are sweet, some are sad, and some of them are Usagi kicking ass. Usagi goes up against bandits, ghosts, and assassins, all while wandering feudal Japan, looking for peace. The stories themselves draw from Japanese history, folklore, and cinema. His style reminds me of Moebius in some ways and of Miyazaki in others, minimalist yet simultaneously intricate. It's amazing how much emotion he's able to convey with so little. Stan Sakai uses clean lines and great composition to put his stories together. The straight-forward, minimalist style grabbed my attention right away. The first story was a little rocky, a team-up with the Ninja Turtles to save a rat. Did I mention all the characters are animals? The violence is tame and there's no blood. I have no idea why I enjoyed this as much as I did. I was vaguely aware there was a Usagi Yojimbo comic but I didn't imagine the rabbit could carry his own book. I first encountered Usagi on an episode of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon where he was yanked from his own time period and teamed up with the aforementioned turtles. He's also a rabbit in a world of anthropomorphic animals. I have no idea why I enjoyed this as much as I di Miyamoto Usagi is a ronin, a masterless samurai, wandering feudal Japan in search of peace.
