Book Review: Usagi Yojimbo Book 4 by Stan Sakai

Usagi Yojimbo Book 4: The Dragon Bellow Conspiracy by Stan Sakai

This volume of Usagi Yojimbo is one long story about a potential civil war. Usagi stumbles across a plan by Lord Tamakuro to overthrow the Shogun. Tamakuro has been stockpiling flintlock guns and lead, preparing to take over all of Japan. Usagi has help from many friends from past stories, including Zato-Ino the blind swordpig, Gen the bountyhunter rhino, and Tomoe Ame. Each character starts from a different point but the plot threads come together nicely making a very satisfying story. As usual, the art is simple and beautiful, communicating the action and the emotion along with the storyline. It's another great outing for the rabbit ronin.

Highly recommended.
