Chibi Usagi and his adorable, childlike friends must fight the evil Salamander King to save a village of innocents!

Stan Sakai’s enduring rabbit samurai is reimagined as a “chibi world” character in these adorable collaborations with Julie Sakai and colorist Emi Fujii!

Enter a world of cute characters and captivating adventures with Chibi Usagi and friends! Join along as Chibi Tomoe, Chibi Gen, and even the terrifying Jei face new challenges with familiar themes in this expanded collection that includes the original graphic novel Chibi Usagi: Attack of the Heebie Chibis, plus the comic-length Chibi Usagi: Attack of the Teenie Titans, with short stories “Chibi Usagi and the Big Bad Jei,” “Chibi Usagi and the Goblin of Adachi Plain,” and “Chibi Tomoe and the Zo Ninja!”

This special expanded edition also collects Stan Sakai’s color Chibi Usagi pinups that ran as Usagi Yojimbo comic book back covers, with a bonus pinup section collecting rare images and fun pages from the whole Chibi Usagi team!
“Sixteenth-century Japan is never so entertaining as in Stan Sakai’s tales of Miyamoto Usagi.”—NPR’s Best Books of 2014
 
“Stan Sakai has successfully brought to American comics a collection of Japanese fables well told in the American style. Usagi Yojimbo is an enduring work. Bravo.”—Will Eisner

“Sakai is a total pro and a consummate craftsman.”—Rolling Stone

“I think Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most original, innovative, well-executed comic books anywhere to be found. Stan's style of artwork, his crisp incisive writing, and his thoroughly professional pacing, all done in a relaxed and absorbed manner, have provided comics with something so rarely seen in this field—a new literary and artistic approach to illustrated storytelling.”—Stan Lee
Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California with his children, Hannah and Matthew. He received a fine arts degree from the University of Hawaii and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created Space Usagi, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragonés's Groo: The Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, as well as for Usagi Yojimbo. He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland. View titles by Stan Sakai
