Usagi Yojimbo: Yokai

In this standalone 2009 graphic novel from Dark Horse, Stan Sakai brings his masterful, all-ages storytelling to a haunting new chapter for the wandering rabbit ronin, Usagi Yojimbo. The tale plunges Usagi into a world of Japanese folklore, where he must confront supernatural yokai spirits that threaten a remote village. Sakai’s signature blend of meticulous historical detail, dynamic brushwork, and quiet humanity makes this a memorable, self-contained entry in the long-running samurai epic. It’s a perfect showcase of why Usagi Yojimbo remains a beloved pillar of independent comics.
