Summary

For cynical twenty-three-year-old August， moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don't exist， and the only smart way to go through life is alone。 She can't imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that。 And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures。

But then， there's this gorgeous girl on the train。

Jane。 Dazzling， charming， mysterious， impossible Jane。 Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile， showing up in a leather jacket to save August's day when she needed it most。 August's subway crush becomes the best part of her day， but pretty soon， she discovers there's one big problem: Jane doesn't just look like an old school punk rocker。 She's literally displaced in time from the 1970s， and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her。 Maybe it's time to start believing in some things， after all。

Why is there a midget with immaculately plucked eyebrows and Daigoro's hairstyle on the cover。 Why is there a midget with immaculately plucked eyebrows and Daigoro's hairstyle on the cover。 。。。more

I do wish I could read a story of Daigoro as a grown-up。 I'd like to see how his adventure - at such a tender age - would have shaped him in the long term， and what manner of a warrior he would grow to be。 I hope there's a distant finale or something in the end。Oh， and that he survives at all。 I do wish I could read a story of Daigoro as a grown-up。 I'd like to see how his adventure - at such a tender age - would have shaped him in the long term， and what manner of a warrior he would grow to be。 I hope there's a distant finale or something in the end。Oh， and that he survives at all。 。。。more

Seems to be leading up to something。

Christian ，

Great beginning and last story in this volume with the middle being digressions into the various lives of the Yagyu Grass。

Ill D ，

Even more scheming constitutes the lion’s share of this volume。 With far more elements than the mere denizens of Edo Castle， multiple strands of peoples and places become tied into a vast and increasingly thickening web of lies and deceit。 Secret apparatus are summoned， tragedy unfolds， and as always a superior product is the result。

Nick Burns ，

This volume contains Tales of the Grass， which are the best three successive stories in the series so far。 Masterful。

The main story behind Perhaps in Death revolves around three tragic stories of Grass ninjas called to arms to Edo in perhaps their last mission as Yagyu shinobis。 The chapters reek with sadness， since these ninjas have lived in their respective hans for generations。The volume hasn't revealed yet their actual mission will be， though all of them were summoned to go to Edo。 On the other side of the blade is Ogami training Daigoro to become a sword fighter， entrusting him with the mission of his lif The main story behind Perhaps in Death revolves around three tragic stories of Grass ninjas called to arms to Edo in perhaps their last mission as Yagyu shinobis。 The chapters reek with sadness， since these ninjas have lived in their respective hans for generations。The volume hasn't revealed yet their actual mission will be， though all of them were summoned to go to Edo。 On the other side of the blade is Ogami training Daigoro to become a sword fighter， entrusting him with the mission of his life。Yes！ Three more volumes to go。 This Lone Wolf and Cub is more than just a read， it is an exceptional experience。 。。。more

Geschichten vom GrasEtwas enttäuscht von diesem Band， der stellenweise fast zäh zu nennen ist， werde ich direkt zum Nachfolger übergehen。 Leider ist "Perhaps in Death" meiner Ansicht nach der deutlich schwächste Band der Reihe， und bietet weder erzählerisch noch grafisch etwas neues。"Perhaps in Death"Retsudo ist noch im Schloss von Edo gefangen， und verweigert sich allen Versuchen Abes， ihn mit Essen und Trinken in Versuchung zu führen。 Retsudo weiß， was Abe nicht weiß: Der Ruf nach Retsudos Shi Geschichten vom GrasEtwas enttäuscht von diesem Band， der stellenweise fast zäh zu nennen ist， werde ich direkt zum Nachfolger übergehen。 Leider ist "Perhaps in Death" meiner Ansicht nach der deutlich schwächste Band der Reihe， und bietet weder erzählerisch noch grafisch etwas neues。"Perhaps in Death"Retsudo ist noch im Schloss von Edo gefangen， und verweigert sich allen Versuchen Abes， ihn mit Essen und Trinken in Versuchung zu führen。 Retsudo weiß， was Abe nicht weiß: Der Ruf nach Retsudos Shinobi ist bereits erklungen。"Tales of the Grass: Oyamada Shume"Die Shinobi sind gerufen， und müssen harte Mittel ergreifen， um unerkannt untertauchen zu können - dabei gibt es Opfer， die normale Menschen nicht bringen würden。"Tales of the Grass: Nakodera Busho"Sogar in einem Kloster sind die Shinobi untergetaucht。 Doch wenn das Wolfsfeuer sie ruft， geben sie ihr altes Leben auf， und folgen dem Ruf ihrer Pflicht。"Tales of the Grass: A Day Like Any Other"Familienbande sind ein Problem für die Shinobi。 Als Tarnung unerlässlich， doch wenn die Pflicht ruft， müssen sie mit diesem alten Leben abschließen。 So grausam es sein mag， und unverständlich für den Leser: Es darf niemand übrigbleiben， der den Shinobi verraten oder kompromittieren könnte， sogar wenn es die eigenen Kinder sind。"Breakfast， Lunch， Snack， and Brunch"Ein interessanter Plan， den Abe verfolgt: den ausgehungerten Wolf mit unablässigem Lärm und verführerischen Speisen dazu zu bringen， seine Meditationshaltung aufzugeben und von den vergifteten Speisen zu kosten。 Doch wiedereinmal erkennt Abe nicht， dass Retsudo aus anderem Holz geschnitzt ist als normale Menschen。"By His Own Hand"Das Halten eines Schwerts entspricht dem Halten von Macht und Verantwortung。 Diese Lektion muss Daigoro lernen， und die Beobachter， die Itto und seinen Sohn heimlich bespähen， sind verblüfft， auf welche Weise der Vater dies seinen Sohn lehrt。 。。。more

This series just keeps getting better， it has me totally enthralled now - I just hope the ending is in keeping with the story arc。The Kenjutsu lesson in this volume was sublime， and really the series is full of these stunning little vignettes。

Pedro ，

Things calmed down a little， the story slogged by the circumstances of tanomo abe。 Also the whole line of the Kusa， which makes truly sad side stories。One more training for daigoro to outcome， I ddin't like the cover of the book at first， but now with all its meaning is truly a great cover， like every other！ Things calmed down a little， the story slogged by the circumstances of tanomo abe。 Also the whole line of the Kusa， which makes truly sad side stories。One more training for daigoro to outcome， I ddin't like the cover of the book at first， but now with all its meaning is truly a great cover， like every other！ 。。。more

‘Perhaps in Death’: Both Itto and Retsudo await the opportunity to resume their duel; the former ostensibly ‘in hiding’ on the outskirts of Edo， the latter under house arrest in Edo castle under the watchful eye of Abe Tanoshi。 Meanwhile one of Retsudo’s retainers sets in motion the calling in of ‘the Grass’ （sleeper agents placed by the Yagyu in every major clan and family so that they will truly have eyes and ears everywhere） to aid their master。 ‘Tales of the Grass: Oyamada Shume’: The first ‘Perhaps in Death’: Both Itto and Retsudo await the opportunity to resume their duel; the former ostensibly ‘in hiding’ on the outskirts of Edo， the latter under house arrest in Edo castle under the watchful eye of Abe Tanoshi。 Meanwhile one of Retsudo’s retainers sets in motion the calling in of ‘the Grass’ （sleeper agents placed by the Yagyu in every major clan and family so that they will truly have eyes and ears everywhere） to aid their master。 ‘Tales of the Grass: Oyamada Shume’: The first of a number of stories that take us away from any of our main characters and instead concentrate on the experiences of individual members of the Yagyu ‘Grass’ ninja as they respond to the call to action from their master。 All of them are faced with the dual challenge of ensuring all of the many members of the Grass are made aware of the call to action， while at the same time erasing any evidence of their existence as spies。 In this entry a family of Grass work to relay the signal and remove all traces of their actions no matter the cost。‘Tales of the Grass: Nakodera Busho’: A monk who is also a Grass ninja likewise does all in his power to relay the signal to his confederates and then leaves behind him the most plausible， though still mysterious， explanation for his disappearance that he can contrive。‘Tales of the Grass: A Day like any Other’: A tragic tale showing the devotion of the Grass to their master’s will。 In the midst of a crisis to their han a member of the Grass acts on the signal which brings about the end of his family。 In this case the refusal to compromise in their duty to the Yagyu results in a horrible decision that drives the mother mad and leaves the father with the most horrible blood on his own hands。‘Breakfast， Lunch， Snack， and Brunch’: Abe， knowing that he must ensure the death of Retsudo if he is to win in his contest for power， sets about starving the Yagyu in the midst of plenty…after all， who would eat food provided to them by the most infamous poisoner of Edo？ And if Retsudo decides to starve himself how can Abe be held responsible？ A test of wills ensues between the wily Abe and his prisoner in which Retsudo must hope for the assistance of his far-flung Grass before he expires。‘By His Own Hand’: The police set to watch Itto and Daigoro are puzzled by the strange behavior of the boy: he keeps hitting his father， who ignores him， with a stick。 They also decide to investigate the numerous mounds surrounding the camp only to discover that they are the graves of at least a hundred men。 Daigoro’s actions appear to be one of the few examples we have of any kind of bushi training the boy receives。 In this case it is apparently a test to confirm that Daigoro is worthy to ‘hold a sword’ （I don’t get it either） and thus that he can carry the swords of Itto and Retsudo should they need to be removed from the place of promise if anyone attempts to take them。 As to the bodies， the police are told by their superior to leave them there， and not to bother Itto， he apparently realizes this is above his pay grade and he’s willing to let the ‘private duel’ play itself out， especially since Retsudo is currently in the hands of the shogun’s own taster。 。。。more
