Inu Yasha Visual Manga, Volume 1 covers the events of the first three exciting episodes of the TV and video series, using actual, full-color film frames to narrate the story. High-school coed Kagome lives with legends - a legendary tree, a legendary well, and a legendary fortune-teller grandfather. When her little brother goes into the shrine that houses the well, Kagome goes in to stop him from playing in dangerous places. Suddenly a demon appears and drags her into the well and out the other side into ... a legend. Rumiko Takahasi's vibrant tableaux of feudal Japan is filled with magic, demons, and a half dog-demon boy who is thrown together with the spirited, modern girl, Kagome, on an epic quest. This is where legends begin.

Pointless, but fun!,

This review is from: Inuyasha Ani-Manga, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
This is almost a word-for-word transfer of the English dub script onto paper, accompanied by screen shots. It covers the first three episodes of the TV show. If this sounds good to you, pick it up right now, 'cause you won't be disappointed!I adore the show, and the dub too usually, and totally didn't mind forking over $10 for some great quality pictures and a bit of a guide to the dub script. (Plus, the incomplete sentences in episode 1 come out a *lot* better on paper.) However, a choice few lines and scenes were cut, redone (often to follow the subtitles), or shortened (my favorite part of the episode 2 dub, where Inuyasha says something like, "maybe you haven't noticed, but the world's full of monsters. You want I should go after them all?" was rephrased in here to be "you want me to" instead of "you want I should", which I had happened to think was about the funniest thing ever ^_^), so it isn't a dead-on guide, but if this really upsets you, I suggest you seek professional help. Other fans might be angered about how the manga was flipped by Viz to read the Western way but this book is printed in Japanese style for pretty much no reason (since the dub was pretty Americanized anyway), but, I don't really care, and I don't recommend that you do either. (Oh god, they put Koga's jewel shard in HIS OTHER ARM!! THE TRAVESTY!!!) Both the manga and the show aren't meant to be taken that seriously. The creator has a great sense of humor. Just enjoy it!

Inu-Yasha Uncovered in Ani-Manga Form.,
By Chao-Chen (Jack) Lin "The Professional" (Surrey, BC, Canada.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inuyasha Ani-Manga, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
You know, I've seen and heard about some Japanese Anime shows that are being put in Ani-Manga form, but I've never seen that kind of format would be as good as in Inu-Yasha. Of course, if you like to see anime in still motion, you're welcome to try it. The colour is so good, and the art is so superb!
Of course, the drawback is that some screencaps are omitted or altered for the book format, but I wouldn't be much worried about it anyway. All in all, this is a great way to start knowing about Inu-yasha, and nothing does it better than VIZ themselves. Overall, I'll give this title a 5 stars (AKA An A+) for its outstanding performance and animation arts. So, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks, bye!
