Usagi Yojimbo #111

In "Sakura Part One," Usagi Yojimbo and Gen encounter a striking new traveler—The Whip, a female gambler with a quiet resolve and a mission shrouded in mystery. When she intervenes to free a young girl sold into slavery, her bold act sets off a chain of events that leaves Usagi and Gen suddenly responsible for the girl and pursued by furious gamblers. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue blends quiet tension with sudden peril, all rendered in Sakai’s signature style, with the cover by Stan Sakai capturing the moment’s uneasy stillness.
