: Mr. Sakai, I have a few more q's for ya.
: How long does it generally take you to draw an issue/page?
--It takes about 4-6 weeks to complete an issue of Usagi, depending upon how much research needs to be done, other work (such as lettering Sergio Aragones' various projects), travel (esp. to cons) and what other things are happening in my life at the time.
: How do you come up with these ideas for uasgi stories?
--Stories are inspired by different sources--books, sketching, tv, etc. I once wrote an entire story because of a line I heard on a documentary: There is a forest at the base of Mt Fuji that is a favorite place for suicide because of the maze of trails into it. I came up with The Tangled Skein.
: Is Usagi ever going to end being a ronin/will he find another lord?
--Not in the near future. In the original storyline, abandoned long ago, he does go on to serve a new lord...and you would be surprised to learn who it was to be.
: Will you be showing more of Usagi's hometown and what happpens to Jotoro?
--Jotaro will return in the story arc entitled Duel at Kitanoji, which is the next major arc after Grasscutter II.
