A tree that grows human heads, a monstrous ogre with botanical inclinations, miniaturized humans, and a brother-and-sister ninja team wielding a demon-slicing boomerang -- these are just a few of the bizarre creatures encountered by Inu-Yasha, Miroku, and Kagome in their quest for the Shikon Jewel.

More About the Author
The spotlight on Rumiko Takahashi's career began in 1978 when she won an honorable mention in Shogakukan's annual New Comic Artist Contest for Those Selfish Aliens. Later that same year, her boy-meets-alien comedy series, Urusei Yatsura, was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. This phenomenally successful manga series was adapted into anime format and spawned a TV series and half a dozen theatrical-release movies, all incredibly popular in their own right. Takahashi followed up the success of her debut series with one blockbuster hit after another--Maison Ikkoku ran from 1980 to 1987, Ranma 1/2 from 1987 to 1996, and Inuyasha from 1996 to 2008. Other notable works include Mermaid Saga, Rumic Theater, and One-Pound Gospel.

Manga #9 reveiw by chibi_inu,
By Tiffany (Littleton, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
Kagome is on her way home to complete a very important test, when a new adventure comes across the groups path. This is the night that Inu-Yasha is to turn human, and he plans to take care of this new foe before that happens. But, to Inu-Yasha's dismay, some terrible things happen to the group, all because of the "peach man". Terrible things such as, Inu-Yasha turns human and is almost killed by some blood-sucking thorns, and terribly injured by an encounter with the Peach Man's obesity. Miroku, Shippo, and Kagome are shrunk, but eventually free themselves, until the Peach Man steals Kagome and is about to eat her. With comedic encounters, and romantic progressions...Then, the group comes across Sango. A Demon Exterminator, who's family and village has just been destroyed. However, she falls into Naraku's web of Deceit, and he makes her think that the culprit who has ruined her life is Inu-Yasha. Of course, Sango intends on killing him now... I better stop now, or I'll give away the whole book. No fun reading if you can't have some surprises! This is another great "Inu-Yasha" manga number, from who else, but the unstoppable Rumiko Takahashi, author of other great titles such as, the popular Ranma 1/2. An excellant addition to the Inu-Yasha story, and as always...

Takahashi does it again!,
This review is from: Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
Even though the Viz translations to the Inuyasha manga isn't as good as the japanese version, I found this book Wonderfully created! The series is action, and drama, with surprising twists, new characters, Comedy, and romance! This book is contiued from the series, which I absolutly love! The love triangle between the characters, all these surprising twists and is dug deeper and deeper as you explore the character's traits. I do admit that there is a tad bit of minor swearing, it is truly sweet, the only problem I see is that there are cliff-hangers in all the odd numbered books, and the even numbers are the end of each cliff-hanger. But it is written and drawn so well that a Person just has to continue reading! I find Humor, drama/action, romance! It is fantasy and epic. About a 15year old girl named Kagome who is dragged into a well by a demon and goes back in time to the warring ages of japan. She mets Inu-yasha (spelled Inuyasha w/o hyphen in japanese subtitles) a half demon who reconized her as the women who "killed" him 50 years ago. she carried the Shikon no Tama (Jewel of four souls/ shikon jewel) within her, without her knowing. She shatters the jewel, and this book is about her journey with Inuyasha to retive the shattered jewel before demons and humans with evil in their hearts obtains the jewel and creates destruction upon the world. I LOVE THIS BOOK And strongly recommend it to be read!I also recommend Inuyasha vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and all of the ones that are going to be published. Also recommended, Harry Potter Series, Ella Enchanted.

Inuyashas Love!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
Hello fellow Inuyasha fans! So you wanna read this book huh? Well you have made a GREAT choice! Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Kagome are on their journey when they run across a strange tree where heads grow! The people were devoured by a demon called the "Peach Man". Inuyasha goes ahead without the others because he wants to defeat the demon before his "secret" returns... Meanwhile Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku stumble into the demons lair. The Peach man then kidknapps Kagome and its up to the humane Inuyasha to save her! Inuyasha and Kagome are a great couple even if they wont admit it. If you ask me he should give up that slime-ball Kikyo!!!! Inuyasha and Kagome FOREVER!!!!!!!!
