Exorcising demons and battling ninja gangs are part of the daily life of Miyamoto Usagi, the wandering samurai who roams the land without a master. His journey takes him over mountains and valleys, through farmlands and villages, and along rugged coastlines. Always in search of harmony and peace, Usagi encounters a variety of remarkable characters in this volume, including an entire village of seaweed farmers, a childishly naive noodle vendor, a woman possessed by a demon, a ruthless clan of bat ninjas, a guild of assassins, an inscrutable medicine merchant, and finally Inazuma, a reclusive female samurai. More than once, Usagi finds himself in great danger, but this is not entirely unexpected for one who walks on the edge of life and death.
