Story and art by Stan Sakai. Usagi is one well-traveled, long-eared ronin rabbit, and his reputation gets around. In this issue, three peasants at a country inn trade tales of the samurai master. One, a merchant's assistant, needed a bodyguard to help him transport his master's money from one city to another in the middle of the winter; the second, a fishmonger, tells the story of a time when his business was threatened by yakuza in the spring; and the third, a would-be robber, spins a summer story about the first time he lay in wait for a potential victim. Three stories for "Three Seasons." Usagi really knows how to leave an impression! 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.99.
