Usagi Yojimbo

#4 - Usagi Yojimbo
Celebrating a moment in time when we wonder where life could have taken us if we went down a different path~

Long story short: In 5th grade, I had the opportunity to buy one comic book at Jelly's: Viz's first compilation of Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind or Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 1. Both were about the same price and I was drawn to both covers and book descriptions. I ended up buying Nausicaa and thus started my love-affair with manga and was a very early influence on my art.

Flash forward 20 years (or so). I purchased beat up copies of Usagi Yojimbo from the Friends of the Library Book Sale for cheap. I put them on the side to read later and forgot about them until last night. During my recent migraine attack, I picked up Volume 1 and started reading.

I proceeded to read Volume 1, 7, and 11. (Out of order, since 11 was titled "Seasons" and had no idea where it was supposed to fall in the series. ^^;)

Now I wonder if I had read UY from the very beginning, where would I be today?
