Summary: Can't hardly wait for volume 6
Review: Alright, we all know that Inu-Yasha is about the best series Rumiko Takahashi has come out with, but who woulda belived that volume 5 woulda come out so well! To start Inu-Yasha and Kagome wind up saving a young a young girl, well Inu-Yasha tries, but she leads them to a shrine where the master welcomes them in. A little later Inu-Yasha gets a bit testy about something, something about the new moon (lips are zipped)and it dosn't exactly help when the spider-heads attack. Can Shippo be brave, can Inu-Yasha save the crew, and will Myoga ever get any respect? Find Out! In the second half an Ogress steals Kikyo's ashes and creates a body, but it has no soul, so she finds Kagome and steals her soul. The book ends with Kikyo's arrows pointed right in Inu-Yasha's face. Oooh what a cliff-hanger!

Summary: more great reading
Review: Although I still think it would be best to read at least the first book in this series before you try the later books, this is the first book that includes a brief "The Story Thus Far" section, plus a little about the characters involved in this volume. In this book, Inu-yasha, Kagome, and a girl named Nazuna have to deal with Spider-Head demons. Unfortunately, Inu-yasha's half-demon heritage gives him a secret weakness that could get them all killed. In the second half of the book, an ogress steals the bones of Kikyo, the priestess who fired the enchanted arrow that imprisoned Inu-yasha for so many years. The ogress wants to bring Kikyo back to life, but Kagome's existance interferes with that plan. Inu-yasha has to try to deal with the feelings he used to have for Kikyo. This book proves that the series isn't falling into a rut. Inu-yasha's secret is interesting and unexpected, and I enjoyed finding out more about Inu-yasha and Kikyo's past.

Summary: One of Takahashi's best.
Review: Even though I've already written a review for Inu-Yasha, volume 5 was so great that I had to write another one! In this volume, we learn a lot more about Inu-Yasha personally. The first story arc deals with a little problem of Inu-Yasha's that occurs at every new moon ^_^;. I don't want to give it away, but I will say that his gentler, more sensitive nature is revealed. In the second story line we learn a lot more about Inu-Yasha's *real* relationship with Kikyo. This book was fantastic. Takahashi really knows how to tug at your heart strings. She's been called the "Queen of Romantic Comedy," but my name for her is the "Jane Austen of manga." Like Jane Austen, she writes tender love stories that involve you to the very end. I can't reccommend this manga highly enough. The only problem is how long it take for the next volume to come out! Volume five ended in a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to find out what happens.

Summary: this volume got me hooked . . .
Review: I actually started reading Inuyasha beginning with volume 4, (I tend to start comic books well into the story ^_^) but I loved it. Great action scenes that keep you asking yourself "what happens next?", a hint of some romance, funny scenes, and the last few chapters about the little ghost girl was just too creepy. (The action scenes can get a bit gory, but it's not that bad since it's in black & white!!) But it wasn't until volume 5 that, I felt, the story got a little more juicy. You learn about Inuyasha's secret about the night of the new moon,(a really sweet scene in Ch.4) Inuyasha's past and feelings about the preistess Kikyo, and a shocking ending that makes you realize "this story's got something up it sleeve." This is the first manga series that I'm serious about collecting and following till the end, and I'm looking foward to every bit of it! If you strayed away from the story, volume 5 is a great place to pick up, and if you're just getting into it (Yay! It's really a great choice!) there's no better place to start then the beginning . . . or volume 4. ^_^ You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Among the best mangas I know!
Review: I admit, I was suprised by Rumiko's versality. Like king Midas, everything she touches turns to gold. This story mixes fantasy and romance with comedy in Rumiko's unique way. The characters are interesting and funny, and even Rumiko's oldest 'trick'-the fact that the male and the female protagonists like each other while pretending they do not-does not appear lame. The stories have some supprise-effects and you will never be bored, even if you already own the complete Lum and Ranma-series. This is one of the finest manga's I have ever bought, and I encourage everyone who liked Ranma or Lum to buy it as well.

Summary: Inu-Yasha: Weakness Brings Love Closer
Review: In the Inu-Yasha comics, you can totally tell Inu-Yasha and Kagome have a "thing" for each other. But neither of them are brave enough to admit it. In the 5th graphic novel, there are two main parts where you can perfectly tell Inu-Yasha is really sweet and is partially expressing his feelings for Kagome. In the beginning of the book, Inu-Yasha turns human for the first time in the series. When he's been bit by the spider head demon, he lies partially unconscious because of the poison. Their only hope is to wait till morning when he'll change back to a half demon. Inu-Yasha asks Kagome why she was crying for him and then he asks if he can lay on her lap. While lying on Kagome, Inu-Yasha says she smells good and Kagome gets mad because before Inu-Yasha said he hated her scent. Inu-Yasha says he lied about hating it. The second main part is when Kagome tells Inu-Yasha to forget about Kikyo (Inu-Yasha is back to half demon on this part). She screams something like, "Does it bother you so much that I look like Kikyo? Do you hate me for it?" Inu-Yasha grabs her hand and leans closer to her. He says, "You have it wrong" in the sweetest voice ever. Kagome's heart is pounding. Then, stupidly, Kagome pushes Inu-Yasha away screaming, "What is wrong with you?!" (In my opinion, they were SO close to kissing in that scene!) All in all, so far that's the best Inu-Yasha comic. But I'm sure there'll be better once I get more graphic novels. I rate this book 5 stars and reccommend it to anyone who's read volumes 1-4 of the Inu-Yasha series. I loved the romantic parts (above)and their adventures are spectacular.
