I love anything Japan related especially if it’s samurai-themed but, even so, I didn’t expect this to be as good as it is. It’s funny and emotional. The artwork is quite simple but the book reads like you’re watching an anime. I liked how it had elements of modern day, like phones, despite having a mostly classic samurai storyline – except a more diverse and gender neutral samurai storyline. There’s a sassy horse too.
