A special chapter was released in Akamaru Jump a year after serialization had ended in Shōnen Jump. 8 volumes were released by Shueisha. There are no plans yet for the series to be released in America. In France ''Samurai Usagi'' is published by Glénat. == Summary == A jidaigeki ("period drama") revolving around a 15-year-old low-ranking samurai and his wife. The manga portrays the Edo period from a socially low-ranking samurai's perspective, and is skeptical of the Samurai Code used by high-ranked samurai to impose norms and reinforce their own authority. The values of people the hero meets are deeply examined, bringing hidden aspect to light, which are used to poke fun, as plot twists, or occasionally as the source of conflict. This structure is supported by the extensive use of contemporary Japanese youth slang in dialogue. Generally, the story advances through the hero's monologues. The hero's serious monologues do not use slang to make a contrast with the dialogue of other characters. Although Edo period customs are occasionally explained, for a manga dealing with samurai the swordsmanship portrayed in Samurai Usagi varies from actual sword-fighting techniques. Also, some samurai characters do not wear their hair in a topknot. Although it lacks in authenticity and accuracy, the flavor of the Edo period is preserved. The hero and heroine being married from the beginning of the story is highly unusual for youth-oriented manga. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samurai Usagi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
