Usagi Yojimbo #40

In "Chapter 1: A Whisper of Wings," Usagi, Gen, and Sanshobo carry the legendary Grasscutter toward the Atsuta Shrine, their journey shadowed by unseen danger. As the Neko Ninja and Komori Ninja clash in a silent war for the sword’s power, the stakes rise with every step. Written and illustrated by Stan Sakai, this issue blends quiet tension with the looming threat of conflict, all rendered in Sakai’s signature style—both cover by and interior by the same hand.
