Summary: Inu-Yasha the best book you'll ever read!
Comment: I've always loved romance. I also became a recent fan of anime. I like Tenchi Muyo. But onward. I was so obssessed my friend gave me Inu-Yasha to read. I fell in love with it. I'm on the quest to get one for myself. BELIVE ME the art is astonding along with the enjoyable plot It's price it worth it. The author Rumiko Takihashi is a well known manga artist I totally respect her work. If you need a reminder she wrote Ranama 1/2 and some other terrific ones. But Inu-Yasha is my all time favorite.
I love romance and action stories Inu-Yasha includes both and keeps you reading and reading. You'll want to read it again and again. This is an awsome book you should buy. Tell your friends about Inu-Yasha! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!

Summary: A modern masterwork by the Queen of Romantic Comedy.
Comment: If you've every heard about the basic plot of "Inu-Yasha" -- unlikely allies must collect the pieces of a mystical object before it falls into the wrong hands -- then you might think of this series as a rehack with boring, stale story. Think again!
Despite the reused plot device, Rumiko Takahashi's "Inu-Yasha" is actually one of the most refreshing things to come along in a long time. And while it does have the usual "magical Japanese school girl" theme, take a look at some other great manga -- "Fushigi Yuugi", "Magic Knight Rayearth", "Ayashi no Ceres" -- that uses the exact same concept yet still manages to amaze and develop a mass following.
With "Inu-Yasha", however, there's an added bonus other than Kagome, the magical school girl: the title character, half-dog demon Inu-Yasha. You may not know it from the first volume of the series, but Inu-Yasha is more than the typical anti-hero. Add to the mix a bunch of other odd yet interesting characters, and you have the setting to a terrific manga series.
Visually, Takahashi probably can't get any better (although, I must admit, I haven't seen any other other works to compare this to). Everything -- the characters, monsters, surroundings -- is beautifully depicted, often using the Japanese method of "blending" scenes together. But it must be mentioned that this manga isn't suitable for young children. There are scenes containing nudity (although it is very mild), and some scenes contain a lot of blood and gore that might make even some older readers squirm uncomfortably.
One of the main attractions of "Inu-Yasha" has to be Takahashi's humor. I have never found anything that made me laugh so hard in my entire life. But another main attraction has to be the complexity of the characters. You might have to read two or three volumes to really understand the complex relationships between the characters, but the farther the story goes, the more "fleshed-out" the characters become. I won't write any spoilers, but I will say this: why is Rumiko Takahashi called the "Queen of Romantic Comedy"?
At the time of this review, nine volumes of "Inu-Yasha" have been translated and published by VIZ. From a person who has read all these volumes, I can say that "Inu-Yasha" is turning into a profound and intriguing story. The series in Japanese is (currently) 22 volumes long, and I'm sure it's going to continue even farther. So I warn you: if you're interested in "Inu-Yasha", make sure you have ample resources to buy the entire series, because this is a difficult series to let go of once you start!
With that in mind, enjoy! "Inu-Yasha" is a must-have for any serious manga collector's collection!

Summary: Comedy Goddess Takahashi-san does it again!
Comment: From the author of Ramna 1/2 and Maison Ikkuko comes this feudal fantasy tale. Rumiko Takahashi's best work yet has been accepted by many kids of all ages. Thought it does have some murder and war in it, please note that this was all based on history. After all, isn't history just a "repetition of wars", as one of the characters states.
Meet Kagome-chan. She's a normal 16-year-old girl. Yeah right. She's actually the reincarnation of a magical priestess that carries a special bond to the dog hanyou Inuyasha. After falling into a well, she coes out of the other side...in feudal Japan (around the 14th century AD). There, she and Inuyasha must collect the shards of the SHIKON NO TAMA (Jewel of Four Souls).
Journey with them on a magical, engrossing adventure...a once-in-a-lifetime thing you won't want to miss.
