Dragonboym2 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 [COLOR=Blue]Hey out there! It's Dragonboym2 again. One of my favorite manga seires would be Usagi Yojimbo, most defenitly. For those of you who don't know, Usagi Yojimbo is written and illustrated by Stan Saki. It takes place in sixteenth century Japan, (with animal people) following the adventures of a Ronin called Miyamoto Usagi. Usagi is on the warrior's pilgramage, traveling the land, honing his spirtial and fighting skills. He meets many interesting people, from rouge samurai, bounty hunters, to evil warlords. One of the cool things is that it's very historically acurate. And Usagi's adventures are loosely based on the adventures of the legendary samurai Miyamoto Mushashi. The stories are alot of fun to read, and I've learned much about Japanese history and folklore. (One part I liked best was how Katana swords are made. It's a fasinating process.) I have many of the collected volumes (even the sci-fi samurai epic Space Usagi), and I recomend it for all samurai fans. Does anyone out there read it? What do you like about it? What stories do you like? Let me know. "KAMEHAMEHA!" Dragonboym2[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
