Description:

The tone of this "feudal fairy tale" darkens as the back story emerges: 50 years earlier, Kikyo tended Onigumo, a badly burned thief. As his desire for the Sacred Jewel--and Kikyo--grew, Onigumo summoned a horde of demons, whom he allowed to consume his flesh and soul. The evil creatures fused to form the terrible Naraku. Recognizing his feelings for Kagome, Inu-Yasha tries to protect her from Naraku by sending her back to her own time and blocking the passage between the ages. Fox-spirit Shippo reunites the pair--who immediately begin quarreling. Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku face the most deadly foes Rumiko Takahashi has created, including a forest demon who vomits hordes of monstrous, three-eyed wolves. It's exciting to see an artist as prominent as Takahashi pushing the envelope in her stories, rather than repeating her earlier successes. (Rated: 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity) --Charles Solomon
