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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll probably love this series forever, May 25, 2004

I loved Takahashi's Ranma 1/2, but I really love Inu Yasha. In this book, Inu Yasha and Kagome are suffering the aftermath of a really bad argument, and one of them has to apologize to the other. Also, Kagura, a woman with the ability to control the dead, appears, causing further problems between Inu Yasha and Koga (the wolf-demon from the previous book). I still find myself wondering how blind Inu Yasha and Kagome have to be to not see that they love each other, but I love seeing how they interact. I can't wait to read more of this series. Although I'm sure it's possible to jump in at this point in the seris, if you start with this book, I recommend that you somehow get around to reading the previous books as well. You'd be missing out on a lot, otherwise.

4.0 out of 5 stars New allies of old enemies..., October 19, 2003

This review is from: InuYasha, Vol. 15 (Paperback)

After Kagome and Inuyasha make up, the group is battling a demon with a shard when Naraku's wasps come and steal the shard. As the group chases after them, another band of wolf demons try to convince a still injured Koga to come with them to steal more shards from a castle, but, he declines. When Inuyasha and the gang finds the castle that the wasps were leading them to, they find the bodies of the wolves. When a woman that Inuyasha claims to smell like Naraku comes out, the bodies spring back to life. After fighting with the bodies, Inuyasha realizes the woman, named Kagura, has left, and Koga suddenly arrives. He quickly jumps to the conclusion that Inuyasha killed his kin. Powered by a new shard, Koga and Inuyasha fight, but what will happen when the new shard starts to posion Koga? Who will win between Inuyasha, Koga, and Kagura? Later, Inuyasha and the others rescue a girl named Koharu, who seems to have a past with Miroku. Will the gang be able to protect themselves and Koharu when Kagura and a new demon come to fight?

Not the best Inuyasha book so far, but still fairly good!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why inu yasha doesn't just kiss Kagome is beyond me..., January 23, 2004

This review is from: InuYasha, Vol. 15 (Paperback)

We left off in the last book with Inu yasha and Kagome in a big fight that Kagome actually whent back to her house to get away from. So in this book, you see both of the little air-heads feeling guilty and angry at the same time. The sentimental parts of this series are very touching and enjoyable but... WHY WON'T THEY KISS EACH OTHER?!!!
I mean how can inu yasha still be in love with that -*insert bad word here*- Kikyo?? It's soo unfare to Kagome, and it really takes it's toll on inu-baby too!! They both need to do the right thing *or the more crowd pleasing thing* and just be together!! This whole Kikyo thing really irratates me sometimes, but it's one building block in the best manga series ever!
But this volume has WAY more to offer than the inu yasha-kagome stuff. As they travel, they meet a young girl from Miroku's past, a VERY young girl from Miroku's past!! Sometime's you just gotta think that maybe some of the stuff he does is too lecherous even for HIM! But really it's quite touching to see how the girl has fallen for him over the years. Not to mention how Sango reacts with some innocent jealousy.
But besides all the lovie duvie stuff, this book packs some serious action. It's the return of Koga as he fights Inu yasha once again in this book. That guy sure knows how to get in the way! And you also learn that Naraku has spawn a few "children" with his newfound shikon power, which is pretty funny since it's kinda like he gave birth to them.(well if you have the right kind of mind it's pretty funni to hear that a guy just had a baby!)
Anyway, even tho the undesirable Kikyo showed up once again in this volume, it really was an awesome book. I just can't wait to see how it all ends.
