Description:
The quest for the shards of the Sacred Jewel recedes as the filmmakers explore the emotional core of the story. When Koga the Wolf-Demon declares he's in love with Kagome, Inu-Yasha throws a jealous tantrum. After he destroys the monstrous birds of paradise, Kagome won't let him fight Koga, who was injured in the battle. Inu-Yasha's ensuing tantrum so infuriates Kagome, she returns to the present. Once they're separated, Kagome and Inu-Yasha miss each other, as Ranma and Akane would. Shippo, Miroku, and Sango eagerly follow all the complications. But while Kagome and Inu-Yasha have been trying to make peace, Naraku has been setting a deadly trap that pits Koga against Inu-Yasha in a duel to the death. It all adds up to the top-flight entertainment fans expect from a Takahashi story. Viewers curious to know more about how the series was made and its relationship to the manga should pick up the handsome and informative The Art of Inu-Yasha: Collection of Original Illustrations by Rumiko Takahashi. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon
