As someone who considers Inuyasha their favorite anime, diving into the manga for the first time was an absolute treat. This volume brought back all the nostalgia, hitting me right in the childhood. It's the same beloved stories I remember from the show.
The artwork is stunning, showcasing Rumiko Takahashi’s incredible talent and capturing the essence of the feudal era fantasy world. It felt like rediscovering a cherished memory but with new facets to explore. The characters, the humor, the action, and that iconic love-hate dynamic between Inuyasha and Kagome—it’s all as amazing as I remember.
Reading this volume was like stepping back in time, reliving the magic of this epic journey through the Sacred Jewel's shards. I can't wait to continue reading and experience the series from this new perspective. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this manga is a must-read, perfectly blending nostalgia with timeless storytelling.
If you're a fan of Inuyasha, do yourself a favor and pick up the manga—you won’t regret it.
