The trees within the valley of ten thousand plums are beautiful to behold. But the umeboshi, or pickled plums, made in the local village are renowned for their strong medicinal properties and a favorite of the Shogun. As a series of deadly events grip the valley with fear, the Shogun’s samurai strongman is immediately suspicious when Usagi, Yukichi, and Gen are caught wandering among the prized foliage. Can their appearance be a mere coincidence? This collection also includes Stan Sakai’s moving, personal “Tabo” story, colored by Emi Fujii!
