Rating: Summary: Inu-Yasha is the best!!! Review: When I found myself cutting back on the money I spend on manga, I couldn't help but keep my Inu-Yasha. For those of you that think that it costs a lot to buy the graphic novels, there IS a small price difference per issure as compared to if you were to buy each individual comic. As for those who say the story is lacking, if you keep up with it, it'll get A LOT more exciting. Yes, it's more gory than the usual Rumiko Takahashi fare,, but that isn't the main story. I've found it has been of the more worthwhile manga titles to collect: it has action, drama, romance, and gore! what more could you ask for?
Rating: Summary: Long Live Inu-Yasha! Review: Though Inu-Yasha is not as lovable as Ranma1/2, I would reccamend this book to anyone. It does not contain the vivid artwork of some other creators, but never the less the artwork is fabulous. The only thing that I object to the is the price. Are they ever going to lower the price of this grpahic novels to something that won't leave you flat broke?
Rating: Summary: Inu-Yasha, though horrific, is still very cool Review: I'll admit it, this was my first foray into Takahashi's manga titles. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. With Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku, people tend to forget that she's also extremely capable of quite horrific things. The plot of the series isn't *that* spectacular. A girl falls down a well, only to come up in an ancient Japan where demons rampage and she's the spitting image of a long dead priestess. It's been down before, but a few things make up for it. Like the fact that she's bound with a half-demon that was imprisoned by said priestess (and isn't too happy about it).The best thing about this manga is, though, Takahashi's sense of horror. The Centipide Lady introduced in the first half was geniunely spine-chilling! The horror in this book isn't so much intended to sicken you (not directly, anyway), as there's a certain casualness that Takahashi uses to display truly terrible things. It's more...to further contrast that world and our own, and our young protaginist's risk in this odd new place. The art is so-so, but the story and creativity in this title more than make up for it. Because of the horrific sights running through this, I wouldn't recommend this one to children (It would give the little darlings nightmares). However, for mature audiences, Inu-Yasha is well worth it.
Rating: Summary: Masaka! Review: Inu Yasha is an even better manga than Ranma 1/2. The mangaka Rumiko Takahashi has done it again. This is neither shonen or shoujo, but is an exciting mix of both. There is enough violence for guys, but there are tender parts for the girls.
Rating: Summary: GET this or you're Missing out Review: WOw, Takahashi is the BEST manga artist, she uses humor, action, and romance together perfectly. This story is a must have for manga fans. A MUST BUY!!!
Rating: Summary: An action packed story worthy of Rumiko Takahashi Review: The story is much more in depth than Ranma 1/2 and is suitable for the more mature manga fanatic. Nevertheless, the mood and characters are very similar to those of Ranma 1/2. If you enjoyed Rumiko Takahashi's other series, you will enjoy Inu-Yasha.
Rating: Summary: What more is there to wish for? Review: Inu-Yasha is an exciting story about a young high school girl and a half demon. Together they must gather the shards of the "jewel of four souls" and see that it won't come in the hands of evil. This story has it all, advenure, humor and romace. What more is there to wish for?
Rating: Summary: Ms. Takahashi's best work ever ! Review: This is a must-have for all manga fans ! This is the latest installment of Rumiko takahashi's work and it is the best. A mix of japanese legends and Ms. Takahashi's unique style of storytelling makes this book really unique.
Rating: Summary: "You make me wretch." Review: Kikyo lives with her mom, brother, cat, and grandpa. Her grandpa is obsessed with legends and charms, giving her the Shikon Jewel, and always sharing the stories to his grand-daughter, who reveals very little interest. Why believe in stories some guy probably came up with anyway? Did you hear? In the forest of Inu-Yasha, there is a demon pinned in still animation by an arrow. But he's a HALF DEMON! After Kikyo was pulled through the well by Lady Centipede demon, Kikyo unleashes Inu-Yasha and brings him back to life in a desperate state. Inu-Yasha needs to be tamed, but after the Jewel of Four Souls (Shikon Jewel) was shattered and scattered, now it's his turn and Kikyo's as they team up to go find them all!
Rating: Summary: Takahashi is getting better...and better...and better.... Review: Takahashi-sensei, you are the best. A wonderous story of Inuyasha, a quick-tempered demon/dog/boy and Kagome, a 15 year-old grand daughter of a Shinto priest, is at its peak in popularity around the world. It was first published in Shounen Sunday, a comic magazine in Japan around 1996. It is funny, exciting, heart-wrenching, and addictive story with wonderful illustrations by the one and only Rumiko Takahashi. Once you read the first part, you will want to read more.
