Kiyoko has been kidnapped and is held for ransom by the local mob. Boss Hasegawa wants the ledger of bribes that Kitsune had stolen, but how can they buy Kiyoko's freedom when that book had been stolen from the thief? Usagi, Yukichi and Kitsune try to bluff their way with Boss Hasegawa, but their scheme is uncovered when the real thief tries to sell the book to the big boss!
Even when Usagi Yojimbo is focused on telling pure genre fare, it excels at delivering thrilling stories in impeccable style. Read Full Review
It doesn't take long before all hell to break loose. Although our protagonists come out victorious, and Kistune and Kiyoko find a way to make a profit on the ordeal, Usagi has made a new enemy in Boss Hasegawa (but also a new friend in Aoki, the honorable samurai who accepts Usagi's wisdom about not serving an dishonorable lord). The ronins hit the road once more, but where will their travels take them next and will Yukichi get to meet any more of Usagi's friends? Read Full Review
I get that Aoki feels dishonored by his employer, but wouldn't betraying and murdering his own comrades be even more dishonorable?
