Inuyasha, Vol. 3

I really love the manga and the quality was very good

I think that InuYasha is one of the best manga series I'm reading. This particular novel is pretty good with the mask of flesh and Nogubon (I think thats his name)are very entertaining, along with Shippo making his first aperance in this novel. Over all, its GREAT!! Kate

As Inuyasha and Kagome search for the Shikon Jewel shards, they come across a line of women being taken to a local lord and overhear that this lord has been rumored to have been possessed by a demon. What also peeks their interest is that the girls that go to him are never seen again! A clumsy would-be hero named Nobunaga teams up with Inuyasha and Kagome to rescue a princess from this possessed man. Kagome has to return for entrance exams in her own time and thinks that she doesn't have to worry about demons in 90's Japan, but a human devouring "Mask of Flesh" comes seeking the shards, leaving headless bodies in its wake. We are also introduced to Shippu, the cute fox demon who wants the jewel shards to avenge his father who was killed by two demon brothers called the Thunder Brothers who are also seeking the pieces of the sacred jewel. The manga version of Inuyasha is a little bloodier and more mature than the anime and that is a good thing. To me, this version is just as entertaining as the animated take. The horror is scary, the jokes are funny, and the adventure, heroism, and romance all feel authentic. Rumiko's fine art and warm storytelling talent make this volume another winner!

I LOVE THIS BOOK IT GETS REALY GOOD WHEN INUYASHA SAYS THAT HE WOULD PROTECT KAGOME!! ASHLEY

Rumiko has certainly done it again with Vol. 3. I love every minute of this book. I was practically on the floor laughing. It is hilarious. Yet, it still has the action we all love. Believe me, this book is awesome. This is thee best book series I have EVER seen. You'll love this book. It's great!

I am an avid anime/manga fan (of Magic Knight Rayearth, Inu-Yasha, DBZ, Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon, and Ah! Megami-sama), and I have been reading manga for around a year now. My mom bought me Inu-Yasha volume 1 for Christmas, and since then I couldn't stop reading it. All four books are stunning, and this series ALMOST makes me laugh out loud as much as the Ah! Megami-sama mangas do. First of all, when I try to explain why this story is so unbelieveably fantastic, two names say it all: Higurashi Kagome and Inu-Yasha. I mean, what other story have you read about that has such a hysterically funny yet very serious couple such as this one? Takahashi Rumiko has really outdone herself by creating these two, with their out-of-the-blue reluctantly romantic moments (as frequently seen in Book 4) and their heartstopping rescues. No other manga couple has ceased to amaze me as much as these two. All in all, Takahashi's combination of gothic, bloody horror and side-splitting comedy/romance really takes most of the cake when it comes to a fantastic manga. I commend you, Takahashi Rumiko! And the members of CLAMP, and Fugishima Kosuke, and Toryama Akira, and Takeuchi Naoko. MKR, DBZ, SM, IY, and A!MS RUUULE!
