Preliminary Spoiler

Every so often a manga series comes along that the average reader will find daunting for one reason or another. It may be that the scope of the story is too great, or the number of chapters may be too large, or the drawing style may not be to taste, or some other reason entirely. Whatever the case may be, there are many out there who will be put off reading a manga for one reason or another.

That said, there is sometimes justification for not even starting a manga, especially as there are those that really can't cut the mustard.

And then there's the ones ...

Inuyasha is a beautifully plotted storyline, and the characters are truly outstanding pieces of work. While reading, you are led bit by bit to an exciting ending, and it is very difficult to put it down!

I enjoyed Inuyasha because of the characters, particularly Kagura. It also has a lot of action, suitable for the easily bored. The romantic element is tragic, sweet, and comic at the same time. I consider Inuyasha to be the very best manga I have ever read.

Made by the famous Rumiko Takahashi, the length draws out over 558 chapters, and this length both causes some of it's greatest and worst moments. For instance the romance of the story (or more specifically the love triangle) reaches it's climax as we draw towards the end with a bittersweet, but none the less great conclusion to it. However we go on to, in my opinion, another disappointing ending from Takahashi. I haven't read all of Ranma 1/2, but I hear that the ending was not the best, and InuYasha certainly felt rushed at the end. That is always a bad thing, but it's quite ...

Preliminary (319/558 chp)
the only 2 reasons i wanted to read this manga were:
1. i like rumiko takahashi.
2. inuyasha has dog ears.
since i loved ranma and i've laughed a lot in this manga, so why not try this too?

the story starts nice- a girl falls into a well and finds a boy with doggy ears and because of an accident she has to team up with him and they fall in love.
the story is fine and it has 56 volumes, so what is it filled with?
the basics of every single story is: kagome is in danger, inuyasha saves her at the last minute. again- kagome is in ...

InuYasha is the longest manga I've read as of posting this review. Originally, I thought I wouldn't be able to finish this, simply because it was around 20x longer than the first manga I read. Well, past me, you'd be surprised.

Story

While reading it, I made predictions, which as I read, seemed as if my predictions would be correct, but said predictions would later prove to be incorrect. These predictions would be one of the reasons I kept reading; the other reason being the story, which was pretty simple to understand.

Art

Rumiko Takahashi's art style has always been unique, and it's no different for Inuyasha. Throughout the ...

Well, actually I finished this before I began reading Pretear, and also saw the anime way way before, probably around high school (2001?).

Inuyasha is a story about Kagome Higurashi a seemingly normal junior high school girl and a inu(dog) hanyou (half demon) named Inuyasha and their quest to retrieve shards of a jewel called the Shikon no Tama (Jewel of the Four Souls), which then turns into an adventure that includes a youkai kitsune (demon fox) child named Shippou, a monk with a cursed hand (can be taken to mean at least two things here :P), named Miroku, and a taijiya (demon slayer) girl named ...

InuYasha is a amazing and very well made manga. Its a classic. I find it to be very enjoyable to read,with lovable characters,great story line,and amazing art.(well,its not the best art,but its still likable in my opinion). The manga is a page turner. Its very easy to get hooked onto it.

Storyline10/10-MO SPOILERS. InuYasha is about a girl named Kagome who travels through a well who meets a dog demon named InuYasha. She travels with him to find jewel shard pieces after it breaks. They must find the shards before Narku, a evil demon tries to get his hands on it. The story is VERY ...

This series is absolutely the longest series I’ve ever read so far, with a total of 56 volumes containing 559 chapters. Yeah right? I grew up watching anime and when I stumbled to this one, I instantly got hook. I’m so in love with this anime that I have the complete anime series in my possession. And it’s just now that I finally had the courage to read its manga. I started reading this last December but had a 1 week off because of the Holiday until finally I finished it!

This story is about this modern Japanese girl, Kagome, that was pulled from her own ...

Out of 100 Nobles watching…
77 were impressed!
15 were tired of filler
8 wanted some more depth in characters

On my “Tour de Rumiko Takahashi”, instead of returning to Urusei Yatsura I took a detour and read Inuyasha. Inuyasha was one of the first anime I ever watched catching episodes in elementary school late Friday and Saturday nights with my sisters. It was one of the biggest influences on my tastes, predisposing me to an interest in both traditional and modern Japanese culture, but here we are reading the manga and boy what a monster it was. Representative of Shonen of the time Inuyasha is a whopping 558 ...
