In his wandering, ronin Miyamoto Usagi rescues and then acquires a pet lizard. His next encounters with the mother of an evil son, another ronin that he has blinded, and a bizarre character who’s convinced that he’s been sent by the gods to kill evildoers, are more harrowing. His next adventures, involving the safe delivery and then the rescuing of two precious items have more satisfactory endings for the samurai. Sakai’s art and storytelling are of consistently high quality in this collection.
