A new standalone tale of the rabbit ronin! Badly injured from battle, Usagi seeks refuge in a peasant hovel, where a kind family takes him in. However, they become less charitable when they learn that a local gang is looking high and low for the ronin who killed their leader. The family must decide whether to send him away, or continue hiding him and become a target of the brigands. With little choice and much to lose, they may have to abandon the weakened Usagi to the wrath of the cutthroats.

This standalone story is an excellent jumping-on point for new readers! 2009 Eisner nominee-Best Continuing Series
