Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman: Volume 2

Zatoichi is smitten by an older pretty woman, but she despises him for what he did to her brother. Zatoichi ends up pursuing her and ends up having to deal with a pimp who sells poor farmer's daughters to the local gang boss.

Zatoichi has been hired to help fight a war between two yakuza gangs, but they are stopped by a man who claims they can't fight because the land they are on is a bird and hunting ground.

Zatoichi meets a young woman named Okiku at a river trying to commit suicide by hanging. He rescues her from some gang members and end up traveling together. They stay at an inn and end up having feelings for each other.

Another blind man impersonates Zatoichi while his female companion strings him along for her own benefit.
