THIS WAS TOO GOOD AND TOO INTENSE. (I know I've been saying that for the past few volumes now, but I swear it really is)

Koga joining the Inugang is definitely an interesting dynamic. It makes absolute sense for him to travel with them. I would have really liked if his journey with them was longer 🥹

Kikyo is finally dead. Like, for real this time. Officially 😂 Now I'm not her biggest fan, but that was sad alright. I kind of wanted her to be the one to kill Naraku? Considering their involvement kind of started this whole thing, it would have been poetic in a way I think. I still think her and Inuyasha don't have feelings for each other anymore. But nostalgia and moral responsibility always brings them back together, especially Inuyasha. 

Kagome is definitely the strongest soldier here 😂 Dealing with her feelings for Inuyasha, respecting him, respecting Kikyo (even though Kikyo doesn't even have a lot of faith in her most of the time, which is just weird), and all her complicated and honest feelings about this situation. It's wild to me how she's only 15/16(?) yet has emotional intelligence like no other. I would have went home several volumes ago and had a breakdown like pls 😭

ALSO Why do they keep using girls' death to further Sesshomaru's arc 😭😂 Like first it was Kagura, and now Rin (again). And I get it, I really do, there's a lot Sesshomaru needs to learn but DAAAAMNNNN does it always have to be girls/women 😭😂 Also this just makes me really salty about the Inuyasha anime sequel spinoff Yashahime (which I'll probably never watch) making Sesshomaru end up with Rin LMAAAAOOO WTF that is his pseudo-daughter 😭

Anyway yes. This would have been 5 stars if it weren't for Sesshomaru's arc near at the end lol 😭😂
