This series is simultaneously enthralling and enraging. On one hand, the characters are far from the usual Mary-Sues, the artwork is delightful, and the plot is loaded with little complications and twists. On the other hand, it appears as if it will never finish, and by the 400th chapter it's a bit repetitious. Characters fight bad guys, bad guys and characters level up, repeat. It's addicting enough for me to keep going though!

Cool manga with awesome plot. I love it! But it does seem to be a never ending story. Still it's a great shounen and slight shoujo story.

I started this series when I was really young, possibly around the same time or just after Ranma 1/2 was published in my country. I was instantly hooked with the mythologies and the transportation. Back then I had immense distaste for Fushigi Yugi, but this was a breeze. I loved the stories, the drama, the comedy, and the characters both the good and the bad guys. (I remember Sesshoumaru had this immense fanbase because he is so damn cool. But I never caught with that coolness haha. I always focused on the main characters. They get on my nerves sometimes because they are deeply flawed - and that is also why I love them till this day.)

I think it was around 10 volumes that I stopped reading it. It took another 5-6 years for it to continue too. Back at the time, the scanlation and manga reading sites were not in bloom (If you remember downloading from MangaHelper, hi). So, I thought: damn it, this seriously drags. Because the story, in my opinion then, was getting convoluted and overly dramatised. I sighed and brooded because it was so good, one of my favourite, and part of my childhood.

A few years later, when everything became available online, I began re-reading Inuyasha for real. The magic of the first 10 volumes still there. More importantly, as I got older and matured a little bit more, I started to get how things were going. This time, I truly appreciate Rumiko Takahashi's tremendous work for this series.

So I will defend this series because I have re-read it from time to time, from front to back, I have laughed and cried, I have felt so many things that only come from really well thought out, hearty, passionate works in arts. I'm very thankful Takahashi got to tell her story in complete and readers like myself can read it in completion.

I didn't plan to write this. But this is a manga that I would leave to the children and recommend to anyone who'd find a glimpse of interest.

I love Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyou. I love most every characters that were really invested in. This is one of the best.

There's that one arc that's a bit irritating but only because it's small compared to the other ones. For the most part you'll enjoy the adventure. The action makes since and isn't exactly random. The main character learns to develop and accept himself and our main heroine from the late 90's to early 2000's (but isn't all that noticeable until you realize there are no touch screen phones) becomes more interested in the world she has taken part in than her own despite not being as safe. Most villains are lovable and aren't just simply disposable, because they have depth. The main cast are like family and look out for each other.

Like many good-'ol-days mangas I read, I love this one too. Not only because of the dogs youkai (I'm a dog person), but also the story and the humors. But the problem with this manga is a typical one: story that tend to drag to long and going nowhere. I pity this type of manga, they milk their own creation into a boring thing just because of money. This manga was a hype back on his day, so now you know why it dragged for so long. I really don't mind a long story but with a REAL story and not some story that circling around.

The romance is a bs too. It's good at first, but I can't help but to keep thinking that


The best thing in this manga is Sesshomaru. That dog's not only handsome but cool and SUPER bad*ss! Beneath his cold mask, he cares for everyone around him and let's be honest here, Jaken is funny because he always get the bad thing. Every time it's Sesshomaru's screen time, I cheered for him. I like him because I can see his point of his journey and every screen he gets, it's telling what we should know. Inuyasha and the gang of course has their own motives: finding Shikon shards, but too many journey wasted without doing Shikon finding. It feels like useless boring and bad fillers in the anime.

Now, it already ended, and what can I say? The ending is not good and feel forced, but anyway, many times I find myself wanted to watch and reread it again.

Not bad, but actually can be better.

It was a great read! I watched the anime first (filler free) and read the manga after because I wanted to see if there were any major differences. The manga could be condensed for sure and be sorter and more to the point (but I guess they wanted to extend as long as possible haha)


I really liked the character development/growth

Anyway, it was a great read and totally reccomended... by me!

the manga was pretty nice, good story. Though i wanted it to end, but this ending was prettu disappointing. I find that they rush it a little. Well other than that it was a pretty long worth manga. alot of action, adventure, drama.

i really love this manga.. I love sesshoumaru.. I love kagura.. but i really

the story is interesting. the characters are really human. the love stories is very cute (i can't describe it well, hehe)... i love it. no doubt

OMG it finally ended, i cannot believe that it is actually possible to skip to the last few chapters without reading the middle, but actually i don't think i missed alot, and i hope TAKAHASHI Rumiko can start a new series but not one this long. Most normal people would die XD

Whoa.. I love Inuyasha the series. Though the characters are a little annoying and I want to smack Kagome for being so dependant to InuYasha, I'll guarantee this for the people who can tolerate extremely long series with a somewhat cliche storyline.

I think Kikyo rules, by the way.
