and that's it. fairly short, but its good to have normal, monthly issues again. Besides, I think the color looks okay

Sasuke had a hard life.

I like there little exchange here. Really shows how different their roads are.

I like how usagi is more used to sasuke's shit now

On the whole it seems like he's generally less inclined to deny being a big meddler.

he's come a long way

>Usagi gonna be the next Demon hunter
>Expecting triple the meddling at least
>Plus quadruple the shitty life

Worlds most dangerous staring contest ends with Sasuke still the no.1

At this point Sasuke should just get a spin off call “my life sucks” where he’s just going from demon to demon

I want a slice of life issue with him

He is doing that, isn't he? Usagi may face a serious choice one day.

Is that a lightsaber? Is Sasuke a Jedi now?

And here's the mind trick. Totally a Jedi.

Usagi is a good friend.

>So you think I'm a loser? Just because I have a draining job that I hate, a literal banshee of an ex-wife, an entire hellish underworld cursing the day I was born? Well, that may mean loser to you, but let me tell you something. Every morning when I wake up, I know it's not going to get any better until I go back to sleep again. So I get up, have my watered-down sake and cold onigiri, get moving on my old, hurting feet squeezed into sandals two sizes too small and walk in the direction Shoki-Sama points at, just for the privilege of chopping off cloven hooves of Yokai like you with my katana. I'll never have honorable duels like I thought I would. I'll never know the touch of a beautiful geisha. And I'll never again know the joy of travelling without carrying a mission from a relentless god. But I'm not a loser. 'Cause, despite it all, me and every other ronin who'll never be what he wanted to be are still out there being what we don't want to be every day 7 days a week for life. And the fact that I haven't put a wakizashi in my belly to commit seppuku, you vile Jogiku spawn, makes me a winner!

Fun fact. The word Jedi comes from the word jidaigeki, or rather, "Period drama" I.e Samurai movie.

Does Usagi know he’s lying or does he really believe himself

That's beautiful, user.

Usagi wan no trauble. But he cannot ignore trauble.

what are your favorite samurai movies?

Well all the Kurosawa ones seem an obvious choice, but Harakiri is also really good and you can't go wrong with the Lone Wolf and Cub stuff. Also the Samurai trilogy

ooh those sound nice, so far I've only watched kurosawa

Masaki Kobayashi (HaraKiri) worked alongside Kurosawa on a bunch of stuff so there's a pretty big influence.

Stan really fucking up some of his hands and proportions here compared to the usual, I wonder if he was in a hurry this month.

There will be more good comics.
Sugoi.

>If I had any sense I would not get more involved

Confessions of a Meddling Mind

Colors grew on me a lot, but monochromatic backgrounds are still pretty jarring to my eyes. I know that the comic had plenty of solid white backgrounds before, but while those work very well in black and white (they help to keep focus on characters), in fully colored issues they just looks lazy.

they're not bad I think, but this transition to color is kinda unnecessary

So...when's Tomoe?

At least 4 issues away.

He’s had to meddle some more before he meets anyone he knows again

Better question: When's Tomoe and Chizu?

>Get away from him

Bit late for that, Sasuke.

tomoe is first cuz she is best girl

That's wrong

Man, we still don't have a conclusive winner for the catfight...

It's fine

Attached: Tomoe and Chizu vs Kitsune.png (1748x1403, 516K)

Seeing Kitsune get her comeuppance was great, but I still want to see a decisive winner between Tomoe and Chizu. Maybe the drawanon will be kind during one of these storytimes, who knows.

There is no winner, but there's a loser.

I wonder how often Stan gets asked that question.

>I saw you Sasuks
>I see you, Usagi!

Guy is just having so much fun with his new eyes.

I was actually a little scared for Sasuke this story. This is all really starting to take a toll and I don't know how much he has left in him.

Lets go for the record, this is first time the militia finding usagi has been a good thing.

yeah right the poor guy cant take a break

Dudes been doing this nonstop for centuries I feel more bad since he’s got no life outside of demon quelling and almost no friends except Usagi if you can call him that (although they do hint that maybe he’s seeking a successor)

One day, one day, we'll get one of them performing dogeza in front of the other.

>Come on everybody! Lets go stare at the wreckage!

He outstares a man to death

Is this a continuation or a reboot?

>Really shows how different their roads are.

Kind of, Usagi finds enough demons to fight on his own. The difference is he just stumbles around and finds them instead getting told.

continuation

Can you post the rest?

Better better qustion: Where's jet?

I think Stan is trying to move away from Jei for whatever reason.

he had the perfect ending with inazuma

What's the best way to get into this series? I was looking at the Saga collections but they start at Volume 2

There wasn't a lot to do in feudal japan. It was either look at the carnage or wait till the plague gets you.

Better, better, better question: Who's jet?

Saga are the way to go for the DH era, get the Fanta graphics for earlier stuff and move onto idw trades but they’re are doing a full color release if the series so you can wait for that

hope this helps

Attached: BUY USAGI.jpg (1301x428, 93K)

Ah, thanks. That helps a lot. Fantagraphics has a big ass collection book so that should be easy to get.

What is this from? Is there more?

I hope this image helps as well. It's everything Usagi related minus the current IDW run (3 issues so far). Since those big books are super cheap for the amount of content they offer, you should catch up with your collection rather quickly.

best timeline

Nice collection! I'm looking at buying them digitally. I love physical copies but sadly I don't have the space for them with my current arrangements.

I don't normally care much for digital comics, but if nothing else it's also the best way to ensure Stan gets his cut.
