“Tomoe's Story”

In "Tomoe's Story," Usagi Yojimbo's trusted companion shares the poignant journey that led her to serve Lord Noriyuki, revealing the hardship of being denied her rightful place as head of The Falling Rain School simply for being a woman. Written and drawn by Stan Sakai, with colors by Tom Luth and lettering by Sakai himself, this heartfelt tale unfolds with the quiet dignity and emotional depth that define the series. The cover, also by Stan Sakai, captures the moment with subtle grace.
