These issues form both halves of "Taiko," a special double-issue story line. A group of drought-stricken farmers commission an enormous taiko drum to show their devotion to the gods, and pray for rain. But the bloodthirsty Red Scorpion Gang threatens to destroy the drum unless the farmers pay up, so the farmers must turn to rabbit ronin Usagi to protect the drum, lest they face starvation from drought! When the Red Scorpion Gang burns down the farmers' temple and the drum is in jeopardy, Usagi must figure out how to rescue it and fight the Red Scorpions at the same time, or all is lost!

He finds one and so Usagi makes a wish, which we aren't told and the stone shatters on the rocks below. I'm not sure as to the relevance of the shard breaking, but I can hazard a guess quite easily as to what wish Usagi made. I hope it comes true. Usagi deserves some peace. Read Full Review
