Summary: Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!
Comment: I'm a h-u-g-e Inuyasha fan, and I loved this volume! Not only do they introduce Rin (my favorite character), the adorable little angel, there's the Koga thing. I hate the character, but I love the conflicts that go on in this volume! There's the conflict between Koga and Inuyasha of course; they hate each other and the only thing stopping Koga from a death at Inuyasha's hands is "Sit". Then there's the conflict between Kagome and Inuyasha; he's jealous and she is being unreasonable and cruel (at least I think she is, but I'm always pro-Inuyasha, even when he's probably wrong {but he's not in this conflict}) and then she ends up going back home and they need to talk things out. The only problem? They're both too stubborn to talk it out.

This is an amazing volume, and I highly recommend it!

Summary: SESSHO-MARU GAINS A HEART
Comment: From what we've seen of Inuyasha's half-brother Sessho-maru, we've been led to believe that he is bloodthirsty, heartless, and detests humans. In a brillant twist, Rumiko Takahashi deepens his character as he lies helpless in the woods after almost being killed by Inuyasha's newly mastered "Scar of the Wind". A cute little mute girl named Rin comes to his aid, even though he doesn't particularly want it, and brings him food and drink. In her village, she is looked down upon and seen as a tolerated nuisance. Nobody looks out for her or loves her since her parents were killed by bandits. When hungry wolves come to visit her village, slaughtering everyone in sight, Sesshomaru performs the ultimate act of kindness for Rin. The wolves are controlled and led by a demon named Koga, who has implanted Shikon shards in his legs and arm. When he finds out that Kagome can help him gather more, he plans to kidnap her and make her his wife! Over Inuyasha's dead body!

The moments with Sessho-maru in this volume are some of the best scenes in the series. Because this is the first moment, at least to me, where Takahashi adds another layer to some of the characters. On the surface, Inuyasha looks like a standard quest manga, but it's really about Takahashi starting with a blank slate, then adding details a little at a time that add up to an epic adventure with a vibrant supporting cast and lots of wonder, action, romance, tragedy, humor, and even a bit of horror mixed in. It's like a manga produced during the Renaissance, a manga that is all things to all people. Sessho-maru is one of my favorite characters in the series because of his quiet strength and the mysterious enigma of his unknown sense of honor. Takahashi writes and draws him in such a way that you don't know whether his act for Rin is kindness or whether he just wanted to test the power of his sword. Morally ambiguous is what I would call him. Inuyasha is a masterpiece.

Summary: Great!
Comment: Yes, yes, all Inu-Yasha fans, hold your weapons until I explain the 4 stars. This book was great! I loved it, seriously. But coming from the ani-manga (my friend buys them and couldn't wait another month for the next one), it's just not AS good. Though I love the creator of this series, I must admit I have seen better artwork (Takaya-sensei, the creator of Fruits Basket, is amazing!). Also, I don't like how they flipped the artwork (aka right-to-left format). Other than that, it was really quite good. But I would recomend the ani-manga more. It has color, sound effects in Japanese with a sound index at the back, and the art is better (shading and color; yay!). But don't look down on this book. It's still great! Well worth it.

Summary: more Inu Yasha fun
Comment: The more I read in this series, the more I love it. Takahashi does so well with character interactions that I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of it. In this book, Sessho-Maru, Inu Yasha's evil full-demon brother, is wounded but kept safe by a little girl. Also, Kagome gets kidnapped by a wolf-demon who wants to make her his mate and use her to find more shards of the Shikon Jewel. Okay, so I'm a romantic, but this part of the book just makes me sigh - Inu Yasha is just so cute when he tries to deal with the idea that Kagome might be falling for the Koga, the wolf-demon. It's probably posssible to jump into the series at this point, especially since there is a "the story thus far" section, as well as a character section that gives important information about many of the previously introduced characters involved in this book. However, you should really get around to reading some of the previous books, or you'll be missing out on a lot. For example, Sessho-Maru's treatment of the little girl won't be nearly as shocking unless you know what he was like in the previous books.

Summary: Another great book...
Comment: Yet another Inu-Yasha volume that I am thuroughly pleased with! My favorite part being with Sessho-maru and Rin. Although the majority of this is about Kouga, Sessh fans will love the dog-demon's character development. And of course, how can anyone miss Kouga's introduction?


Editorial Reviews:

After the battle with his brother Inu-Yasha, Seshomaru lies wounded and receives aid from a girl. But tragedy strikes when wolf-warrior Kouga attacks the girl's village, killing her and everyone else. Will Seshomaru, with his life-giving sword, take pity on the girl who nursed him back to health? Then Kouga and Inu-Yasha fight on the cliffs of a mountain infested with demons who may just kill them first!
