Rumiko Takahashi has done it again. Inu Yasha is the compelling tale of love, demons, humans, and time travel. Kagome, a modern day student, finds herself in ancient Japan working with a half-demon to find shards of a powerful jewel. The supporting cast adds flavor to the tale and keeps you turning the pages. This manga is not for the weak of heart. Blood and death feature heavily in the books. If you enjoyed Ranma, you must try Inu Yasha.

...All of which are contained in this manga. This manga is VERY IMPORTANT plotwise, because not only is a new main charachter introduced but the nice little dead lady has some interesting things happen that stick with us for the rest of the series so far. As for the painter, he's of little importance in the big scheme of things, so it'll suffic to say that we get to see Miroku use that hole in his hand, as well as some brain power and Inu Yasha also kicks butt liberally.
Enjoy!

It has been entirely to long since we last heard from the adventures os Inu Yasha and Kagome. This volume concludes the cliff-hanger at the end of the last volume. All is well but the tale of the scorned preistess is not done. It introduces a young monk with a curse who has sworn to love Kagome (and any other girl)! Most importantly Takahashi finally reveals Inu Yasha's true archfoe! Those who enjoy Inu Yasha are recommended to read other Takahashi titles, like Ranma 1/2 (but we all knew that) and Urusai Yatsura (aka LUM). Also recommended are Magic Knight Rayearth by CLAMP and the Patlabor graphic novels for those with a taste for Sci-fi. This title definitely deserves five stars.

It is my belief that the word 'subtle' is not in Rumiko Takahashi's dictionary. 90% of the characters in Ranma 1/2 lack the trait, and several of the people in Maison Ikkoku need a lesson. We won't even get into Ataru and his crowd from Urusei Yatsura. Inu Yasha has provided us with some new examples of those who speak their mind and constantly make you hang your head and sigh.

While not as boisterous and arrogant as Inu Yasha, the Buddhist monk Miroku shares some traits with the dog-demon. Both tend to say what they think, regardless of the consequences. Both are stubborn as mules and as dense as rocks. But that's what we love about them.

Miroku has a tendency to ask something quite...personal from the women that he meets. As for what this is--you'll just have to read the books won't you?

It's a great book! I would say it's one of the best Volumes!

And it just keeps getting more and more interesting as it goes on. The characters are more different than in her other series, Kagome is a school-girl who is spunky and yet sometimes helpless, but also will surprise you with her sudden ideas and fun spirit.(she apparently is the reincarnation of an ancient priestess who was Inu-Yasha love/enemy). Inu-Yasha is a selfish, prideful, half-demon who is power hungry for the Shikkon Jewel which Kagome and he are working together to retrieve.One word describes He seems interested in Kagome and rushes to protect her at just the right moment. One word describes Inu-Yasha: feh.Well, that's all. Read it. Love it. Find out what happens. You won't be dissappointed.

The fantasy unfolds in this 6th volume of Inu Yasha. Here you meet a flirtaous monk who adds more humor to the story plus some infomation that explains the mysterious past of Inu Yasha. As always,we have the ever cute Shippo helping in the plot. The 6 th volume is nothing short of the other Inu Yasha stories. Filled with genuine humor, romance, and evil spirts, Inu Yasha is a story you'll want to read over and over again. Don't forget the wonderful drawings by Rumiko Takahashi.

Ok!I am tottally in love with this series so listen closly! Things have started to heat up as the group meets a monk named Miroku. Now, they know that Naraku is the true cause of Kikyou's death! This series is so cool but I reccomend that 10 year olds read this!

Another wonderful addition to the Inu Yasha series. In which Kagome's soul is in Kikyo's body but then Kagome's soul becomes Kikyo's again and the confusion begins. This book is highly recomended. ^_^

In comparison to Graphic Novel #2, this one is tame. The plot is very interesting (especially when Kikyou comes back to life), but it lacks some of the gruesome stuff that not only made the series fascinating, but also made if very different from Ranma 1/2. What happened to those horrific scenes?? (ie dead women with the snake crawling through the hole in her head) As much as I hate to say it, this love story ain't that interesting without all the gruesome bits...
