5.0 out of 5 stars Inu-Yasha + Kagome = Stunning action/comedy/romance!, January 30, 2000

This review is from: Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

I am an avid anime/manga fan (of Magic Knight Rayearth, Inu-Yasha, DBZ, Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon, and Ah! Megami-sama), and I have been reading manga for around a year now. My mom bought me Inu-Yasha volume 1 for Christmas, and since then I couldn't stop reading it. All four books are stunning, and this series ALMOST makes me laugh out loud as much as the Ah! Megami-sama mangas do. First of all, when I try to explain why this story is so unbelieveably fantastic, two names say it all: Higurashi Kagome and Inu-Yasha. I mean, what other story have you read about that has such a hysterically funny yet very serious couple such as this one? Takahashi Rumiko has really outdone herself by creating these two, with their out-of-the-blue reluctantly romantic moments (as frequently seen in Book 4) and their heartstopping rescues. No other manga couple has ceased to amaze me as much as these two. All in all, Takahashi's combination of gothic, bloody horror and side-splitting comedy/romance really takes most of the cake when it comes to a fantastic manga. I commend you, Takahashi Rumiko! And the members of CLAMP, and Fugishima Kosuke, and Toryama Akira, and Takeuchi Naoko. MKR, DBZ, SM, IY, and A!MS RUUULE!

This review is from: Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

I love each of the books in this series. I'm a fan of all of the other things I've seen by Rumiko Takahashi, and this series is definitely no exception. In each book there's a serious plot combined with just the right amount of humor. This series isn't quite as silly as Ranma 1/2 (I always get strange looks when I try to explain that one to anyone I know). In this book, Inu-yasha and Kagome meet Nobunaga, a young man who wishes to save a princess in trouble. The three of them end up having to battle the demon that has possessed the princess' husband and is devouring the souls of young women. In the second half of the book, Kagome has decided she needs to go back to her time in order to study for exams. However, demons exist even there, and this one has a shard of the Shikon Jewel. I think this is the first book that includes a little of the incredibly gullible Hojo, and there are hints of a possible romance between Kagome and Inu-yasha. Of course, knowing Rumiko Takahashi, that romance will be very very far in the future, but it's still fun to read about and very cute. I would recommend reading this series in order, or you might become very confused. This is definitely a worthwhile read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inu-Yasha is the best series yet!, January 19, 2003

By

This review is from: Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

This is the best manga series Ive seen so far. It is an EXECELENT drama, comedy, and fantsy, all in one.
In the beginning Kagome is a normal Jr. High kid but when she accedentally falls into the sacred Bone-Eaters well she is tranported to the Fudal Age of Japan. When she finds herself there, she goes exploring for her family owned shrine. Except it's not there. instead she finds a demon boy named Inu-Yasha.
When she finds herself surrounded by the local villagers she is taken to the village where the preistes examines her to find a remakable resemblance to the high priestes and protecter of the sacred Shikon Jewel. This jewel can give the posesser vast powers wether good or evil. Kagome is in grave danger because many demons in the fuedal age seek the jewel. but when Kagome finds that the jewel is inside her body pretecting it, it gets blown apart by an enchated arrow that Kagome shot, it breaks and the shards cover the feudal japan. Now Kagome has to team up with Inu-Yasha to set out across the feudal Japan to find all the shards before the demons do.
THIS IS AN EXCELENT MANGA!! ...
