They're celebrating in style with this Color Special (the fifth in the series), and it should come as no surprise that it's a real treat.
It features four stories: a brief confrontation between two samurai; a student learns an important lesson; a meeting with some restless ghosts; and an encounter with a man whose life is dedicated to his art.
The art is, of course, wonderful and expressive - made all the more delightful by Tom Luth's colors.
The stories are delightful in their economy - not a line or moment is wasted - and the stories are both entertaining and moving.
Sakai has built an amazing body of work here, and there's plenty of time to get on board - each storyline stands on its own - as his iconic tales of a samurai searching for his place in the world continues.
Highly recommended!
