Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 6

Summary: So you want to buy this.....
Review: ...All of which are contained in this manga. This manga is VERY IMPORTANT plotwise, because not only is a new main charachter introduced but the nice little dead lady has some interesting things happen that stick with us for the rest of the series so far. As for the painter, he's of little importance in the big scheme of things, so it'll suffic to say that we get to see Miroku use that hole in his hand, as well as some brain power and Inu Yasha also kicks butt liberally.
Enjoy!

Summary: Inu-Yasha is My Favourite Takahashi series!
Review: And it just keeps getting more and more interesting as it goes on. The characters are more different than in her other series, Kagome is a school-girl who is spunky and yet sometimes helpless, but also will surprise you with her sudden ideas and fun spirit.(she apparently is the reincarnation of an ancient priestess who was Inu-Yasha love/enemy). Inu-Yasha is a selfish, prideful, half-demon who is power hungry for the Shikkon Jewel which Kagome and he are working together to retrieve.One word describes He seems interested in Kagome and rushes to protect her at just the right moment. One word describes Inu-Yasha: feh.Well, that's all. Read it. Love it. Find out what happens. You won't be dissappointed.

Review: Another wonderful addition to the Inu Yasha series. In which Kagome's soul is in Kikyo's body but then Kagome's soul becomes Kikyo's again and the confusion begins. This book is highly recomended. ^_^

Summary: Very nice!
Review: I really love Rumiko Takahashi's previous works (Ranma 1/2, One-Pound Gospel, etc.) and Inu-Yasha is no exception. This volume deals with the entrance of Miroku, the kinda perverted warrior monk cursed with the 'Air Rip'. Buy this volume now~! It's excellent!

Summary: Inu-Yasha: Rumiko Takahashi has done it again!!
Review: I've been a manga fan ever since I was introduced to Sailor Moon three years ago, and have been following Rumiko Takahashi's work for almost as long. Inu-Yasha, her latest series is my personal favorite. In ancient Japan, a doglike half demon, half human named Inu-Yasha, attempts to steal the Shikon Jewel, or "Jewel of Four Souls" which has the power to turn him into a full-blooded demon. The priestess whose duty it is to guard the jewel, Kikyo, uses her remaining lifeforce to ensnare him in an entrapment spell. The girl and the jewel are burned and laid to rest. In the future (1997 to be precice) Japanese high school girl Kagome is sucked back though time to fifty years after the Shikon Jewel was destroyed. There she finds out that she is the reincarnation of Kikyo the priestess, and has to carry out the responsibility of guarding the jewel. After an unfortunate "accident", the jewel is shattered and flung to the four winds, and Kagome and Inu-Yasha are burdened with the near-impossible task of restoring the jewel to its original, whole state. Which means finding every shard. And they aren't the only ones after them (but probably the only ones with good intentions). As a saftey precaution to keep Inu-Yasha from losing his temper and mauling someone, he is forced to wear a necklace that lets Kagome control him with a single word. By simply saying "sit" poor Inu-Yasha is knocked to the ground, pancake style. As the story progresses, you meet other entertaining characters, like Myoga the flea-demon, Shippo the young fox-demon, Miroku the easygoing, cursed Buddhist priest, and Kaede, Kikyo's little sister, now an old woman. Inu-Yasha has hints of Rumiko Takahashi's previous works, and yet it's a whole new cunningly irresistable story. I definately don't recommend it for the squeamish, or weak-hearted; there's some of everything, humane and inhumane. There is some brief nudity in some (but not all) of the books, and a lot of bloodshed (but it's not as violent as the Mermaid Saga) The first two books aren't as good as they could be (the plot seems thin and rushed in some parts), but it gets better. In the fifth book, an unusual twist of the plot occurs and after that, you just can't put the series down. Rumiko Takahashi also throws in a little of the romantic comedy that she's famous for as you get further into the series. Don't expect to be rolling with laughter through the whole book, though; Inu-Yasha aims for a slightly more solomn note than Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura. I would recommend the series for 13 and up, although I was able to read some of it to my 10 year old brother by editing out the less "respectible" parts. This series is definately worth recognization and I'm sure that I'm not the only one counting the days until the next volume is published.

Summary: where did all the gruesome stuff go?
Review: In comparison to Graphic Novel #2, this one is tame. The plot is very interesting (especially when Kikyou comes back to life), but it lacks some of the gruesome stuff that not only made the series fascinating, but also made if very different from Ranma 1/2. What happened to those horrific scenes?? (ie dead women with the snake crawling through the hole in her head) As much as I hate to say it, this love story ain't that interesting without all the gruesome bits...
