-Xepheus

Does anyone think the manga is drawing to a close?

For all you out there who knows swedish.
In about a week I will begin my own IY manga project.
I will personally translate and have it up on the net.
And of course I translate from the original! Duh!
Who would ever want to translate from the crappy americanized issue?

Kinda.

Even though I'm looking forward to seeing the ending, I'll be sad to see it go. But it'll probably run through the rest of the year at least. There's still a fair few things that have to be resolved, and I'm betting there are a few more surprises in store as well.

I'm dying to know what'll happen with this whole "boundry between this world and the next" story...

Ya, but I think I figured it out..its how Kikyou is gonna die. She is gonna go into the next world to get the Shikon Shard and never come back ^-^

You think so? Maybe... I hope not, though. That would devastate poor Inuyasha. He's pretty desperate for that not to happen. I really felt for him in the latest chapter ("The Entrusted Arrow") when he was talking to Kikyou... "That your life had been taken for a second time by your hated nemesis... I don't want to go through that ever again."

Of course, Kikyou is almost guaranteed to die before the series ends. I know a lot of people will be happy to see her go, but it'll probably be one of the saddest moments in the series for the characters.

Yes... I can't wait for when Kikyou "dies".
Not because I don't like her or anything,
but I want to see Inyasha's reactions.
I can't possibly imagine how he'd take it.
To lose is first love all over again...
that's just so sad... and I...
happened to read "The Entrusted Arrow".
It was a very good chapter indeed.
I want to see more action between Kikyou and Kagome, though.
And don't get any dirty thoughts when I say action...

whoa! IMPORTANT! kinda... yeah.
I saw that a lot of IY sites were mentioned.
I just wanna say that I'm starting a fanfic site,
with Inuyasha, Ranma½ et.c - anything!
Feel free to send me your fanfics if you want to!
the adress is shanpoo17@hotmail.com
and the webpage is: Fanfic Delusion
I just started it, so it's not much for the world yet

Geez--anyone else read the latest two manga chapters? Rivers of blood (in color, no less!), new appearances from both Sesshoumaru and Naraku, a return to Inutaisho's grave, the last Shikon no kakera...

Screw the Shichinin-tai arc--this is where the action's at!

ya I agree..I get the feeling this is it this is the last showdown but then again there could still b a twist

The manga is only getting better.
What will happen inside ... you know. ^^
I on't wanna spil it too much,
for people who still insists on going in here,
even though they don't want any spoilers.

I don't think this is the showdown...
hm... but who knows...
there should be almost 40 vol., though...

btw, even though the manga is soon entering book 33,
and the Inuyasha saga may soon come to an end...
I'm still looking forward to Takahashi's next work!
I mean, who isn't!? I hope she'll begin with it soon... ^^
Inuyasha started right after Ranma½ after all...
MWOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (this one's for Ozy hehe)

I like reading the manga to stay ahead of the anime and all but I think I like the anime better. Maybe I was wrong cuz if u think about it if they r just getting the last shard there is no way is could b the end yet..what do you think is gonna happen with Kouga and all the other minor yet major chars like Sesshoumaru, Rin, Kagura, Kanna, Jaken, Kouga, Souta, "Mama", "Jiichan", Houjou, Ayumi, Eri, Yuka..the people from Kagome's time are hardly in the story!

There's an interesting thought. I'd love to see what would happen if the series continued on a bit farther even after they'd gotten all the Shikon shards. If Takahashi plays her cards right, there's a lot she can do with that kind of set-up. And like you said, there are so many characters to work with... so much potential there!



I'm looking forward to it too, but I wonder if she'll be able to top Ranma and Inuyasha. Then again, her works keep getting better and better in my opinion, so she'll probably surprise us all again.

She'll probably top Inuyasha... it is her after all.
But I still think Ranma½ is better than Inuyasha. ^^
Maybe it's just because I'm more into comedy...
and Inuyasha sometimes feel a little...straggly. ^^;

It's still a wonderful story, and it's one of my favorites,
but it has it's up and downs for sure. Do anyone agree?
Ranma½ had these episode like story to follow,
which I liked, because it was so outrageous and funny!
And it's easy doing fanfics to those kinds of manga...

Well, I like Ranma ½ a lot, and it's hard to top when it comes to comedy (I can't think of any other series that's as constantly funny, and the plotlines only get more and more outrageous as the series goes on), and I love all the characters, but besides for Ranma's ongoing struggle to return to his all-male form, there just isn't much there in terms of a plot. The series works brilliantly anyway, but to me a good epic plot can be the difference between something I really like, and something I'm addicted to. I enjoy Ranma, but I'm nuts about Inuyasha. I don't know, I just like it more when a story evolves more over time. So I guess I like Inuyasha better for the same reason you like Ranma better.

But the question remains... can Takahashi-sama actually top them both? Guess we'll see.

I just read the newest IY chapter, "The Fragment's Intent." I'm so excited! One way or the other, either Inuyasha-tachi or Naraku is going to get the last shard very soon, and then things are really going to heat up. I can't wait!

Yes, I aware of the plotless Ranma½. I like it, though.
I love outrageous things, and it just gets weirder and weirder.
But also gets more serious concerning relationships and so on.
I've been sitting and watching the Ranma½ OAV's for a week,
and I'm still trying to silent my laughter. ^^ It's so funny.

And I love how all the plots turns out to be meaningless in the end.
Like "Sormy Weather Comes to Fuurinkan" - Hinako-sensei ^_~,
"Team Ranma VS The Legendary Phoenix - Kunou's Phoenix egg,
"The Cursed Tunnel of Lost Love" - the couple splitting cave... ^^

But I think Takahashi-sensei allready has an idea...
I mean, for a new manga. And I really wonder what it will be.
Will it be in modern time like Ranma½, UY and Maison Ikkoku?
Probably, because I think she's gotten enough of the feudal era. ^^

I understand what you mean about the Inuyasha plot,
I also love following plots, but they can sometimes get boring.
That's why Ranma½'s my favorite, ít's allways new and fresh. ^^
But still, the best plot ever must be in Fushigi Yuugi, right...?

615

*sneaks off to read the new IY chapter "The Fragment's Intent"*

Man, Fushigi Yuugi does have a great plot... but when it comes to the best plot ever, I think the Tenkuu no Escaflowne fangirl in me wins out in the end. Epic wars and love triangles and fate-altering machines, hell yeah.

Takahashi probably does have a new idea for a manga (heck, probably more than one, considering her imagination) by now, I guess, since Inuyasha has been going on for so long (six or seven years by now, isn't it?). And she probably is tired of the sengoku jidai by now. Though depending on what time period gives her more room to write her next story, I'm not going to make any guesses as to when she'll set it.

I wonder if she'll explore any new genres too. Obviously, a good, frustrating, funny-but-sweet romance is a must, but I wonder what else she'll use. Inuyasha has a lot more horror and fantasy elements than her other stuff, I think, so maybe she'll try something new again. Or maybe she'll just stick to her guns. Whatever she does, there just better be someone as cute as Miroku, Inuyasha, Ranma, or Ryouga, that's all I have to say. ~_^

("The Fragment's Intent" is a good chapter, things are starting to come to a head. I wanted to find out more about Inuyasha's dad, though. But seeing what will happen to the last Shikon shard is way more important, I'll admit. And I want to see what happens with Kagura and Sesshoumaru, too... man, I wish the manga could be updated faster!)

Urusei Yatsura was very fantasy and sci-fi like, wasn't it?
Alien girl meets boy and far too many characters join in. ^^
I love that the Oni in Ranma½ who kasumi gets possesed by,
looks exactly like Lum! With thoes horns and that "bikini"!

I wanna see Takahashi take on the future.
It should be interesting to see what she would make of it.
And how her characters would look, of course ^_~
and if it would be another hillarious comedy (probably).

Inuyasha started in November 1996, after Ranma½.
So it has been going on now for about 7 years, yes.
I think Takahashi has done a great job with characters,
but I still find the story a little straggly... at times.
Even though it's really good right now in the manga.

Hm... yes, cute characters can be hard to come up with.
I'm still sucha fangirl over Ryouga! An' I allways will be. ^_~
Recently I find Mousse very cute too... and funny, of course.
And takahashi allways make her main characters look fresh,
unlike other story characters end et cetera.
Just look at Ranma's pigtail and Inuyasha's dog ears. ^^
Kagome looks different, somehow... just can't tell what it is.
Akane was brilliant! When i first saw Akane with her long hair,
I thought: "Another cute anime girl with long hair... *sigh*"
Then I got such a shock when it got cut off... thanx to Ryouga!
Takahashi knows how to make meroable scenes,
and that was what she was going after when creating Inuyasha.

Btw, this whole thing is about the Inuyasha manga...
who out there except me likes manga better than anime?

I have allways liked manga better. Don't anyone agree?
Of course, some anime are better than the manga of course.
Like the most shoujo manga... they can be a little whoolly.

Anyways, I love collecting manga. Not anime. ^_~

:ph34r: I love the manga! Before Inuyasha I never gave a thought to the medium other than a source of anime inspiration. Now, however, those little books are taking over my house! It's 'Yasha to Go'. And, thanks to the kindly folks at the Sengoku o-Togi Zoushi. they've kindly created an archive of excellent scanlations of everything from the original publication thru today! People don't have for VIZ to get of their lazy arses to publish in English.

In fact, Vol 320 is posted right now for any who's interested in the latest installment. Very juicy! Thanks to Chris Rijk, the webmaster and translator, I'm east learning how to recognize proper names and bad words in kanji. Whatta heck of a skill set!

Although I must agree the manga series seems to be building towards it's climax, we've all dined on Takahash-sama's red herring's more than once! Whenever I think the end's in sight, the plot takes a left turn at Albuquerque (or Ushitora!) and pffft! I've stopped playing "what if" and just let the writer schelp the characters around to entertain me! (bring on the dancing youkais...)

And I can't believe I'm actually up at 3:15 est writing all this after watching a full night of Inuyasha anime. Need a life -- Need some sleep!!! I'm Inu-ed out. Ciao.

Two new chapters up at Sengoku o-Togi Zoushi! Sesshoumaru is finally joining the party, and in the coolest way possible (naturally). The way the guards immediately stepped aside when they saw he held Tenseiga was awesome.

And I'm still holding out hope that we'll see or learn something more of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father, especially with the third movie coming out soon. Maybe his spirit will intervene in the battle between Inuyasha and Naraku to save Inuyasha, like Shippou's father saved Shippou and Kagome. That would be really cool, though the odds of something like that happening are pretty slim. (More likely, Kagome or one of the others will try to attack Naraku, or Sesshoumaru may even arrive at just the right moment.)

Oh, man... I read them too! They're awesome!
I just loved the pic where Sesshoumaru walks in,
uh, in to the next world... throught those gates. ^^
And that he actually (?) realized the use for Tenseiga.
At least I hope he did... I think it's the best sword.
I'm allways P.O'd with him for not liking Tenseiga...

A funny thing about the Inuyasha manga/anime,
is that Naraku is just a hanyou... or, made into one,
but appears as if he's immortal. I find that funny.
Because I don't need to go ranting about immortals,
he's just that slippery. Man, I love Naraku, he rocks.

Waaaa, Quote "The only one who can kill Naraku is Sesshoumaru"........WHAT...I didn't think that would be how he would be defeated.

Althought there could be a little twist at the end. I always thought Kagome would be the one to defeat him.

I like Kagura even thought she made that line. ^^
But yeah, Kagome is the main character and all,
so I also think she will defeat Naraku in the end.

My friends love Kagura, because she's not evil.
There's two persons she would never kill ^^,
Sesshoumaru-sama and Inuyasha (of course, duh!).
I'm really cheering for Kagura to be free! ^_~
w00t w00t! You go Girl!, as Ranma once said...

Go Kagura! I remember back when she, Hakudoushi, Inuyasha and the others were all originally checking out that portral to the boundry between the worlds, and Kagura and a bunch of youkai had been about to fly in. I got so freaked out, because I thought Takahashi was going to finally kill her off right there! I was relieved when she made it out okay. Whew...

She's definitely got a little crush on Sesshoumaru. I think she imagines him as her knight in shining armor, which is why she's so sure that he's the only one who will be able to free her from Naraku. I think that's where the line in the last chapter came from--I'm pretty sure Sesshoumaru won't be the one to kill Naraku off, but she's definitely convinced.

And little Rin has been left behind... I think she and Kohaku will meet up again. I hope Kohaku can escape from Naraku while the getting is good, now that he's got his memory back (I'm still curious how that's affected him; we haven't really seen yet), because after they get this shard, Naraku will be after his and Kouga's next... ::worries::

Sesshoumaru had better bring him back to life with Tenseiga eventually, or I swear, I really will fly to Japan to confront Takahashi about it.

I just read the two new chapters as well. Is it just me or is the manga getting better and better? Although I also think that Kagome will be the one to kill Naraku in the end.I can't wait to see all this action on the anime

Yes, Kagura has a crush on him for sure. ^_~
She probably won't get freed until the end.
And I wonder how Takahashi will do the end.
And personally, I think a FY last battle would be cool.
Is it just me? Or does anyone else wanna see
Naraku on top of the Tokyo Tower with his tentacles?
I love sucha good cliché... but it probably won't happen.
But I'm doing a fanfic about it! Mwohahahahahahaha!

I feel so bad that I'm not very interested in Kohaku,
for all I care he can die (but he probably won't,
and, oh no! Spect is comming towards me with an axe!)
*Patrioil manages to escape Spect by jumping on mIRC*
Patrioil: "Nyahahahahahaha!!"
*Patrioil gets attacked on mIRC by Dinkai instead*

What I'm really interested in is Kouga!
Oh, I hope he will die, and end up in the next world.
Then Sesshoumaru-sama can revive him! Sugo~~i!
Kouga joining the fight in the next world...
hm... if it IS the last battle... it is yet to be seen. ^^

Actually, I was under the impression that that was his reason for following Kohaku all along, during the Shichinintai arc. Rin was all worried that Sess was planning on killing him, but bringing him back to life would probably do more damage to Naraku (plus then Sess would get Kohaku's shard, and Naraku would have a helluva time getting it away from HIM).

Another thing... why the heck was Jaken allowed through the gateway? HE didn't have Tenseiga (unless the Nintoujou is also a weapon from the next world, but I doubt it). Or maybe the guards just thought that Sesshoumaru had a really strange, talking growth on his tail.

But now that Sess is back at daddy doggy's grave, I'd say the likelihood of him getting his arm back has just gone up a few notches. Especially if he's going to transform again, since transforming with only three legs would just look silly ("Raaarr! *thud* Ah, crap. Well... c'mere, I'll bite yer legs off! Arr arr arr!").

Sesshoumaru never showed any interest in the shards before, I don't think he would save Kohaku for that reason. If he did do it it would be because Rin is so upset about him being dead she begged him to do it.

::shakes fist at the escaped Patrioil:: I'll get you next time! Just what did the poor kid ever do to you anyway?


I also thought it was funny that the guards let Jaken through, but I guess they knew Sesshoumaru would kick their asses if they protested.

Statue #1: "Er, uh, sir... I don't know if your ugly little green friend should go with you--"

::Sesshoumaru does that thing where he kills people effortlessly while seemingly not even moving (or caring). The statues fall to the ground in pieces::

Jaken: "S-sugoi, Sesshoumaru-sama!" ::big wobbly adoring eyes::


Anyway... I'm not sure even Sesshoumaru really knows just what he's going to do when he finally catches Kohaku. I'm sure all of his high-and-mighty youkai instincts are telling him to kill the brat after what he tried to do to Rin... but on the other hand, he's gotta know that Rin really likes Kohaku and would be very upset if he killed him. My prediction is that if and when he finally does meet up with Kohaku again, he'll be going back and forth on what to do right up until he pulls his sword out. Naturally, though, he'll do what Rin wants in the end.

I don't think Sesshoumaru would get Kohaku's shard though, even if that was his plan. Somehow, I can't imagine anyone other than Naraku winding up with it. It makes it more frustrating for the good guys...

Theory, so far the manga have 30 volumes right now and it's really near the ending. According to Kagura, Sesshomaru is the only one that can kill naraku. It's near the end because naraku is trying to go to the next world.... You know the rest. i'll stop right there

And please God let Inuyasha ends soon. or i'll have to waste more cds on this dragging on and on anime

::cracks up:: Man, I should really stop reading Japanese BBS commentaries on the latest manga chapters, because they usually appear the day the chapter is released, and Chris takes up to a week to get the full translation out, so I'm left wondering for a few painful days ^_^*.

Comment on 323: "Big Brother came! Except he whacked Inuyasha. Right in front of the enemy, even. Just like old times, I guess..."

Wow, though. That would mark the first time those two have gotten physical on each other since the whole Gatenmaru thing with Inuyasha turning full demon. Granted, I'm not terribly sure what "whack" implies, fully, but we'll see in a couple of days.

Well they always seems to find a way to continue the story...For god sake I tough that after they kill Kikyo the second time I was never going to see her againg...And then she is back, and worst by Kagome's choice..ARGGG!!! this is too much!!! (Are they getting Advice from the creator of DB, DBZ and DBGT?)...And I'm so scared of what the end might be...

Well, Chris's translation is up at last, and things still haven't been resolved, though they're getting closer. Every time a new chapter comes, I start out so excited because I can't wait to see what happens next. But I finish the chapter all depressed because I still can't wait to see what happens next. The cliffhanger is a cruel, cruel invention.

And geez, Patches, don't post something like that without a warning first! Ever since I read it I've been going nuts waiting to see that scene! (On that note, the rest of this post is all spoilers unless you've read the latest chapter. )



Well, Big Brother does come (and Jaken too), and he does whack poor Inuyasha (who seems to be getting beaten up by everyone lately)... fortunately it's only one quick blow that seemed more annoyed than anything else. I wish I could see a scan of it. Anyway... considering that Sesshoumaru may be the group's only way out of the grave, I sure hope those two start getting along better real fast... otherwise, the scenery in the rest of the series may get a little bit dull.

And Miroku didn't use the kazaana again because of the Saimyoushou... kind of frustrating, though obviously no one wants to risk poisoning themselves in another dimension. And we got yet another cliffhanger, and once again I'm dying to see what happens...

If push comes to shove, they could all just velcro themselves to his fluffy. Plus, Tenseiga allowed him to go INTO the boundary world. It didn't say anything about getting him OUT of it. They may very well have to hitch a ride on Naraku instead, unless Housenki conveniently knows something we don't. Or maybe Dad kicks them out.

As for the early comment, I just couldn't resist ^_^*. This is a spoiler section, after all. She just has a rather amusing way of wording things sometimes, especially because she refers to Naraku as "Naraku-san". In the chapter where Sesshoumaru made it through the barrier, her only comment on the chapter was this HUGE boldfaced text that read, "Sasuga wa Sesshoumaru-sama!!", which is kinda hard to translate, but means something like "I wouldn't expect any less of Sesshoumaru-sama!!" This, of course, left me wondering what he did that was so cool... At least he's doing SOMETHING now, since all he's done since the Shichinintai arc is revive that otter demon.

And Kouga is STILL M.I.A. Where oh where is Wimpy Wolf-kun?

Well, Kouga has obviously listened to Ginta and Hakkaku for once and decided to take it easy for a while. Probably reclining on a beach somewhere in Okinawa.

Actually, he may have even decided to stay out of Inuyasha-tachi's way for once, unusual as that would be. Inuyasha did wind up saving his life twice in a row during the Shichinin-tai saga, after all. Could be he's a little embarassed about that. Otherwise, I don't know where that baka could be, but I am starting to miss him.

As for everyone getting out of the grave, I don't think it would make that much sense if Tenseiga only granted Sesshoumaru one-way passage (then what's the point?). It would be cool if it did, though, since Sesshoumaru doesn't screw up like that often and it'd probably come as a bit of a shock to him. (Hmm... how did he get back the first time, anyway?)

Naraku seems to be the only one really prepared. I wonder why he's so sure he'll be the only one able to return... and also, why he doesn't seem to be worried about Sesshoumaru. You gotta love a villain that always has a plan...


::pictures Sesshoumaru's fluffy thingy trailing along behind him with all of the cast's heads popping up out of it::

::dies::

My theory is that since he's got the baby half of Hakudoushi, and thus his heart, still on the living side, he can't die no matter what they throw at him in the world of the dead. And since he's still got a link to the land of the living, he could conceivably still get back.


He probably got back the same way he got there: through the gate the black pearl opened. That was how Inuyasha and Kagome got back, and Sesshoumaru left before they did. But I have another weird hypothesis about how to get back this time around. Sesshoumaru could get past the guards because he carried a sword from the other world. Now he's IN the other world, so having a sword from the same world you're in isn't anything special. If that's the case, maybe you need a weapon from the living world in order to leave. If so, Sesshoumaru's all set, since he's got Toukijin, and Inu's crew is all set, since they've got Tetsusaiga, Hiraikotsu, Miroku's staff, Kagome's arrows... and they can just stuff Shippou and Kirara in their shirts and smuggle them across the border.


Actually, when I first read the comment about "Except he whacked Inuyasha...", I had an image of the two meeting face-to-face with completely flat expressions, and then Sesshoumaru clunking Inuyasha on the head something akin to the Three Stooges. And considering Chris neglected to provide a scan of that page... that's still the mental image I have (though the description is enough to prove otherwise, I guess...).

ROFL

Now that is a funny picture. Stuffing Kirara in someone's pocket or shirt or under Miroku's outfit. It would be similar to the time Shippou changed into the Kagome look a like and his tailed popped out of the back of her skirt. Of course Shippou does have his top that he uses as a "weapon". However, it looks like Kirara would have to be smuggled.

I'm not really sure where this should go, and since I don't want to start an new thread for it and it has to do with the manga, I'll stick it here.

Well, in case you don't know, there will be no new manga chapter for the 13th of August (poo). However, on the 18th, they're releasing the "Inuyasha vs. Sesshoumaru" compilation book, and I think you can guess what that's about. Here's what Shounen Sunday's news site has to say about it:

Inuyasha vs. Sesshoumaru... The complete battles of these two have been collected into a single "Inuyasha" volume, at 494 pages! On sale Monday, August 18th!!

This summer, this highly anticipated "Inuyasha" collection will be released! Plenty of battles between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru are compiled in one convenient book. The first page contains a wonderful pin-up drawing by Rumiko Takahashi-sensei! And for those of you who can't wait, there is also insider information about the new movie being released at the end of the year, "Tenkahadou no Ken". This information is a special gift that can only be read here! So, head to the bookstore on August 18th!

494 pages? They don't fight THAT much. Well, I guess if they include the entirety of Sesshoumaru's initial appearance rather than just the battle at the end, that'll take up a good chunk of paper.

And I can only hope that this "insider information" on the third movie will make it onto a fansite promptly so that we "outsiders" can have a chance to know it, too ^_^. I'll bet it's something vague and minor, though, like most of the other information we've been given so far -_-.

hey did you guys here about Inu Yasha having a third movie? there are two trialers so far and they look so cool!

Another Japanese holiday, Patches?

I really want to know what happened in Chapter 324...I can't believe the manga is coming to a close already. Rumiko has me in suspense!

Actually, I have no idea why there's no issue for this week (but I'm also not too well-versed on Japanese holidays, either). The issue that 324 was in came out last Wednesday (and Chris is sure being lethargic about the translation. Grr), and issue 38, which will contain chapter 325, is slated to go on sale on the 20th.

::rolls around on the floor like an idiot:: Bwaaahhhh... And Setsuani didn't post in her blog any hint of what 324 was about, either. Being the Fluffy fan that she is, you'd think she'd at least say something. Unless 324 returns to what Hakudoushi, Kohaku, or even Kouga is up to. At least she still did the summary/commentary on episode 122. "By the way, ani-ue, who's that you're talking to [in the episode preview]? Yup, thought so..."

::sigh:: Knowing the places to go for insider info isn't terribly useful when there's no insider info to be gotten.

Well, Chris finally got the translation up for chapter 324. It seems Sesshoumaru isn't quite as uber as we all thought he was--Naraku is giving even him a lot of trouble. I'm glad for that; it wouldn't have been any fun otherwise.

And we also find out what Housenki meant when he was talking to Inuyasha at the end of the last chapter. Pretty good plan, but so far it isn't exactly working out. It's hard to say what's going to happen next, but I'm starting to wonder if we won't get another battle like in episode 81, with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru both fighting Naraku together (if not exactly working together). Here's hoping.

Still no sign of Kouga.

I swear, it's because I complained about it in my blog! It's yet to fail me! Whenever I complain in my blog that I can't find something or something's not updated, the complaint is always suddenly rectified within a day. In this case, within a couple of hours. ^_^*

Aw, Fluffy's being a meanie. He doesn't care if Jaken gets dissolved. I hope Chris scans a picture of Jaken and Shippou being clingy to Kagome ("As long as she's got arrows, we'll be okay!" "Um, I'm out of arrows..."). Bwahahaha, I love Jaken. Too bad we have to wait even longer for the next chapter.

I will say it one more time the manga is getting better and better.
I love the way things are turning out and I hope to see the two brothers working "together" ( we couldn't let sesshoumaru steal the show eh )
I am also very curious to see what will happen with Kikyo's arrow.
