by Takehiko Inoue, based on the novel Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, 198 pages
After his fight with Yoshioka Seijûrô, Musashi's name is on everyone's lips. It's also painted on multiple challenges posted around Kyoto by every rônin looking to get famous. That, and Seijûrô's brother Denshichirô and the rest of the Yoshioka school are itching for revenge. But Denshichirô's men are not confident he can beat Musashi and so look for a way to take him on / out without injuring the school's reputation. If only they could find another highly skilled swordsman to fight in Denshichirô's place....
Ooh, exciting! Threads are getting pulled together as Matahachi, in hot water over his having set the Yoshioka school on fire last year and their having not forgotten (d'oh!), suddenly has visual confirmation that the owner of the name he has stolen is not, in fact, dead. And the Yoshioka lay eyes on the perfect proxy for Denshichirô. I wonder, though, if he can be convinced to do it? He seems a little preoccupied at the moment.... *giggle* Oh, why must Kojirô be so cute? It's so distracting, people forget--often to their cost--that he kills with that same smile on his face.
*sigh*
