About this Collection

This volume collects the second half of the 'Grasscutter' story arc, following Miyamoto Usagi as he journeys to Atsuta Shrine to deliver the legendary sword Kusanagi. Along the way, he is joined by his allies Gen and Chizu, facing threats from ninja clans and supernatural forces. The book also includes several standalone tales that explore Usagi's past and his encounters with other characters in feudal Japan.

In "Prologue," the first issue of Usagi Yojimbo's 2002 series from Dark Horse, Stan Sakai crafts a tense, character-driven start to a larger arc. As Usagi, Gen, and Sanshobo journey toward the Atsuta Shrine with the legendary Grasscutter, two rival ninja clans—the Neko Ninja and the Komori Ninja—close in, each seeking to claim the sword for their own. With Sakai handling every aspect of the art and lettering, the story unfolds with his signature blend of quiet drama and escalating stakes.
