Published: November 2002

Synopsis: In their travels together, rabbit ronin Usagi and his young companion Jotaro always seem to find trouble, whether they're looking for it or not. And while Usagi's had his share of run-ins with the supernatural, Jotaro's about to get a crash course in dealing with superstitious fears, both real and imagined. Finding themselves in a village cruelly controlled by a former samurai, the two are quickly hired to rid the area of this barbarous master. The key to solving their dilemma could lie in the surrounding forest. The only problem is ... those woods are cursed!

I liked how Usagi came up with a plan to defeat the samurai based upon his experience at the Inn, it didn't work out but it was fun none the less. The ending with the town leader turning into a tree was cool but I wish there had been more supernatural elements.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

With the introductory story about the betrayed army, this had a hint of those few supernatural WW2 stories I read as a kid. I knew those dead soldiers would undo the villain, but I didn't know how. Even though the guy says the trees seem to block his way, the ending still surprised me.
