This fifth volume collects the epic-length "Blood Wings," in which
Usagi battles a fearsome clan of ninja bats, while "Lone Goat and Kid"
offers a cunning and affectionate parody of the famous "Lone Wolf and
Cub" manga while doubling as one of Usagi's most dramatic and heartfelt
adventures. "Frost and Fire" and "The Way of the Samurai" provide the
psychological drama of this vo...more

With this volume, Sakai returns to the format of presenting a number of unrelated vignettes that demonstrate Miyamoto Usagi's character and prowess. This feels like a big step backward from the previous volume, although a couple of the stories do connect slightly ("The Way of the Samurai" mentions the betrayed samurai Yagi and his infant son, who then appear in "Lone Goat and Kid") and "Blood Wings" does advance the plot of the main storyline a little bit, in that we see Lord Hebi furthering Lor...more

Die einsame Ziege mit ihrem Lamm

Der wandernde Kaninchenronin Miyamoto Usagi begegnet in diesem Band unter anderem einem Ziegenronin, der mit seinem Kind in einem Karren durch die Lande streift, und als Auftragsmörder arbeitet... klingelt es da?

Leider etwas enttäuschend ist diese Verbeugung vor der Genrereferenz "Lone Wolf and Cub", die als "Lone Goat and Kid" in der letzten Geschichte des Bandes auftreten. Da hätte ich mir mehr Anspielungen, mehr als nur den Karren und die 500 Ryo gewünscht.

JARO PŘIJDE.


Jak název napovídá, tak nás čeká mimo jiné i pocta Osamělému vlkovi a mláděti a to v podobě sbírky tentokrát kratších samostatných příběhů. Všech nesporně kvalitních a každý ze zcela jiného ranku. Za zmínku stojí především Příběh s drakem, který nabízí náhled do řemesla výrobce papírových draků (a navíc v něm lze najít i Grooa!) a Cesta samuraje, která by mohla sloužit jako reklama na Usagiho jako takového. Je totiž čistou esen...more

La première histoire (de cerf-volants) est habilement découpée, à défaut d'être follement excitante.
Mais le vrai intérêt de ce cinquième tome est évidement l'histoire du combat d'Usagi (et les villageois, bien sûr) contre les féroces ninjas Komoris. Celle-ci rassemble évidement les éléments que je trouve marquants chez Usagi : le courage, l'honneur et l'horreur d'un combat contre un péril difficilement descriptible. Une très bonne histoire autrement dit.
Les histoires courtes qui clôturent ce tom...more

Hadn't read lone wolf and cub but this is a fun book again, expanding the world of usagi. Especially the duel with the old samurai. Great reading, great art, super storytelling

As the volumes progress you can see the scope of Sakai's world widening. I wish I could afford every one right this second.
Brian
Every panel is so beautiful; each is it's own work of art.

At some point, I almost just keep reading USAGI YOJIMBO to see what other simple yet fascinating lore Stan Sakai can have possibly created. A lot of his material seems to be a great homage to something I know about only vaguely, or perhaps not at all. BUT it's still a great read, so that's some kind of testament to his artistic ability both as storyteller and visual artist I think.

Posudio sam knjigu prijateljici i kad mi ju je vratila, prije nego je vratim na policu išo sam je prelistat, a onda sam se vratio na početak i pročitao do kraja. Toliko je dobra.
