Miyamoto Usagi recounts his apprenticeship, his service as a bodyguard to Lord Mifune, and the battle in which he tragically became a ronin, a masterless samurai. This is followed by a ghost story, a humorous encounter with a very large baby lizard, and the rescue of a village of silk weavers. This is the second in the series of graphic novels chronicling the adventures of the “rabbit bodyguard” in feudal Japan.
