It will help get you started reading Usagi Yojimbo and answer any questions you might have about it along the way.īefore getting into this guide proper, here is an explanation of a few terms used in Usagi Yojimbo and this guide. With this handy guide, you will soon see that it’s easier than you think! But where do you start? With hundreds of comics over four publishers, it’s a reasonable question to ask.
With the comic-inspired Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles hitting Netflix, there’s never been a better time to read Usagi Yojimbo. I should write a more comprehensive piece in the future.) (I could go on and on about why Usagi Yojimbo is great. He has a natural talent for framing dynamic pages that flow well as a sequence in clean but interesting ways. This is because Stan Sakai uses the elements listed above and combines them with his strong storytelling abilities. While the comic has never been a huge seller, Usagi Yojimbo is a critical darling and has won many Eisner Awards. Many stories are inspired by real-life samurai Miyamoto Musashi and Akira Kurosawa films, however, Sakai also takes much inspiration from facets of Japanese society and folklore. Throughout this time, the comic has told the story of Miyamoto Usagi, a ronin samurai, who wanders an anthropomorphic feudal Japan doing good deeds.
Cartoonist Stan Sakai has been creating Usagi Yojimbo since its inception in 1984.
