Now they are going to visit his old master? Living in such secluded place, I wonder if he's alright.
                     
And I like the background story for Ichibei. It is true what he said, people should be less indifferent and take more proactive actions, or nothing will get done. It is also good that he doesn't request the samurai to help him with his revenge because he needs to be able to resolve it himself.
                     
Another good chapter, ryo-san! And there's certainly nothing wrong with focusing on your manga making, I think that's great :D.
