OK. This is the volume where Miroku enters. It is one of my favorite volumes. In the beginning it's a continuation of what happened in book 5 when Kikyo was brought back to life. She falls from a cliff, but survives. And I won't tell you the rest because you have to read it for yourselves!! It's really good although there is one inappropriate scene but other than that it's good. The inappropriate scene is funny but different...

Since Amazon seems to have missed it, I thought it would be worth mentioning that this is volume 6 of the second edition/printing.

This volume is great because it reveals more of the relationship between Inu Yasha, Kikyo, and Kagome while adding more personal reasons to their quest.

The witch that resurrected the priestess Kikyo from dirt and bones is dead but Kikyo still lives with the stolen soul of Kagome. If she cannot be persuaded to return to the netherworld, then Kagome will never awaken. As Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo continue to look for the Shikon shards, a new enemy (ally?) appears as Miroku, a lecherous monk right out of the Canterbury Tales, shows up to appropriate the shards for his own ends. He's not just an ordinary monk, and I don't mean just because he is fond of touching and rubbing women in inappropriate places. Miroku has a black hole in his right hand, which when released, can suck just about anything in, including our heroes!

Rumiko Takahashi has to be one of the greatest manga writer/artists alive today. Like all of her other series, Inuyasha is excellent. In this volume we get hints of a deeper relationship between Kikyo and Inuyasha than we previously thought. Were they in love? What caused them to attack each other? Could the answers lie with the demon that cursed Miroku? The characterization here is fantastic, and while this manga is mainly humorous, the humor never gets in the way of the serious relationships. Great book.

I am a fan of Inuyasha in any form, so of course the manga is a must for me. Although I am used to reading it right-to-left, so initially I was confused, it seems to be a great translation. I had only seen these episodes first in the dubbed anime, and I have to admit the manga includes a lot more romantic and funny moments. You know what they say, "the book is better than the movies", and the same applies to anime and manga. Volume 6 involves the revival of Kikyo and meeting Miroku, so it is a must have, with excellent (romantic, hilarious, and action-packed) writing, and superb artwork.

Yeah...the books are good in all, and i know in Japan its ok to umm...lets just say she was taking a bath in a hotspring...yes well, when i first got a book (it was a freinds) I started flippin' through the pages and randomly stopped, which i wish i didnt stop there cause my brother was standing right over it staring at the picture of the naked Kagome...to this he said
"Do you think I could...uhh...borrow this b-."
"No." and as my 20 yr old brother walked away I shuddered at thinking of what he was going to do when he was alone...in his room...with the pic of a naked chick...in his lap...dear lord...oh yeah...I'm the same wrong wrong kid who wrote "Stabbity goodness and Bagel Bites" for Pyscho...except I dont have my frend to help me...
