UY Saga - Odds & Ends

Post by nicholasdoyle »

Based on what I can tell from Amazon (where UY Saga Volume 6 is already available for pre-order, collecting up to #116) we're getting pretty close to being all caught up to the single issues - Volume 7 should bring us into the 130's. With that said, I've been wondering if stuff like Yokai and Senso (maybe even Space Usagi?) might eventually be collected in the omnibuses? I know they're not included in the regular UY books, and I guess that would make UY Saga Volume 8 a bit of a hodge-podge, but the completist in me would love to have everything all in one place, so to speak.

I would love to have Yokai and Space Usagi collected into the Saga books! I haven't read either yet.

I've yet to read Yokai, but I have read Space Usagi. You should definitely read it if you get a chance.

Stan had said that both Yokai and Space Usagi will get the Saga treatment.

The plan is to publish Space Usagi, Senso, and Yokai in an omnibus edition. It will not be called "Saga" though, because they are not part of the regular UY continuity. We are considering different titles such as Kagemusha, Adventures, Monogatari, and others. Any suggestions?

Maybe something like "untold tales" or "lost tales" of Usagi Yojimbo? I will try to think of more ideas.

Dear Readers,
My first thought:
Usagi Yojimbo's Appendix
and then:
The Usagi Yojimbo Compendium
The Usagi Yojimbo Treasury
The Collected Works From Beyond the Usagi Yojimbo Saga
The Complete Usagi Yojimbo (includes one contains everything not printed in the Saga, a compleatist's dream.)
Stories from Beyond the Usagi Yojimbo Saga
Other Tales of Usagi Yojimbo
Usagi Yojimbo Omnibus Assortment
The Furrther Adventures of Usagi Yojimbo
What ever the title, i am looking forward to these stories getting the same quality paper, ink and bindings of the Usagi Yojimbo Saga editions.
Sensei Sakai, thank you very much for all of this fun.
Best wishes to all.

Lot's of good ideas.

I like to see things with a Japanese theme, so I go with Usagai Yojimbo Monogatari (or Usagai Yojimbo: Kakushu Monogatari - translated to UY: Assorted Tales)

What is monogatari? See the Wiki entry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogatari

Just saw your message.
Thanks for the link.

Monogatari seems to be quite popular.

I really liked this one as well but isn't it a little too linked with the series of the same name?

Might not be copyrighted (also might be?) but it seems to already have an established link to an existing series.

But I agree, this is a good one as well, in my opinion.
