Alright, it is Saturday and I am gonna post the fifteenth volume of Inuyasha. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything Inuyasha related after the dump.Previous thread: >>273103259Despite the OP image, I am using the VizBig 3-in-1 localization which does not feature this cover exactly. Be aware that some of the larger images have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits.In addition, I will be dumping the one short story from the Rumic World and Rumic Theatre series that came out around this time. Today, the scans I have of the one shot are the official VIZ ones. This story only got collected recently. Today, that will be "with CAT".
Here's the inner illustration for Volume 15 in the 3-in-1. Koga. Also, apparently, last thread I said Volume 14 for this post. Whoops.Also, I meant to fix Rumic Theatre to Rumic Theater in the OP and didn't. I'm a mess.
What an outfit. Also, the original title is ふたりの気持ち which means 'Their Feelings' or 'The Feelings of the Two'. You can probably guess whose. September 29th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: Do you have any annoying habits?A: I don't think so."
>>273206464TB being tuberculosis.
>>273206512Abidas.
>>273206528Kagome too sickly to have a secret boyfriend, of course.
>>273206512So who did give her all of those sick leaves? Based Doc.
>>273206544Reminder, this is why she is as mad as she is. Being accused of doing something more with Koga than simply not wanting him to die.
>>273206588And this is why he's mad. Also, Sango learns what's up. I think the whole 'well only works for those two' as been shown, but maybe not stated as plainly as it is here. Sango's up to speed now. >>273206576Honestly, I think the school just takes her grandfather's word. Japan! (But also you know, manga)
>>273206636Kaede is a wonderful lady.
>>273206675Propitious (indicating or giving good fortune). If I ever knew the word, I forgot it. Pretty obvious in context though.
>>273206728Furinkan I think mentions that this is the first time we see WacDonald's' name (before we saw the W and that's it) but looking at it now, it clearly says Wacdnald's.
>>273206772This is a bit of an infamous translation, because well, it is really funny. But the thought bubble of Kagome's friends in Japanese indicated that they thought Inuyasha was a ヤンキー or yankee, a type of delinquent associated with motorcycle gangs and dyed hair (obviously deriving from the English word). I honestly wouldn't be surprised if VIZ kept it in the latest localization because the line is just funnier than "He's a delinquent?".Also, I just noticed you can make out some burgers here. I couldn't figure out what a tamatori burger would be (tamatori seems to mean jewel taker or like, pearl diver), but Teri-Cheese Burger would probably be a Teriyaki Cheese Burger.
>>273206636Give her a pass, you literally have make out seasions with your ex ghost gf in front of her.
>>273206952I could go for a Wac Burger right now.
>>273206978Probably didn't realize how the whole 'murder' thing came across.
>>273207015Cute.
>>273207015Battered Kagome, she was ready to share with Kikyo.
>>273207029Don't be a creep. Also, google lens failed at reading this, but I figured it out. The bag says チップス or uh, chips.
>>273207354The other word on the bag? ポテト or "potato". I don't know why I bothered with that.
>>273207421Oh no, his potetochippusu! Also, did I mention I like Sota? He's great.
>>273207450I guess you do up your hair before a bath.
>>273207483End of chapter! Ah well.
Original title is 井戸の向こう which seems to mean "Beyond the Well" or "Across the Well". This works.You may notice that this date is a bit later than you'd expect, that's because the previous issue didn't have Inuyasha but instead had the oneshot "with CAT" which I will be storytiming after this.October 6th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: If you had a shop, what would you name it?A: Hanshin Department Store."
>>273207678That pencil looks particularly long for some reason.
>>273206464Those boots are a choice. Maybe not a good one, but definitely a choice.
>>273207711I like the speed lines in panel two.
>>273207734Sigh...
>>273206330Anime remake announcement soon
>>273207748Look at his little face.>>273207779Eh, maybe. I'm hoping for Mao though.
>>273207817Shippo is a little over his head. Also, notice Shippo also didn't say "lets his wolves eat people". Also, Buyo, yay!Furinkan has a note about Kagome's room:"Kagome's room is fairly unique in that it is decorated in a style that is called "wayoshitsu" (和洋室). This means that it is a traditional Japanese style mixed with Western style. We see she has tatami mats for her flooring and a western style bed.In a 2022 interview the voice actresses from Yashahime discuss their fondness for Kagome's room's design." Here's that interview. Spoilers for Inuyasha, obviously: https://furinkan.com/features/interviews/yashahimevoice.html
>>273207873Hope that was the lead and not the pencil.
>>273207899Getting up early to study never worked for me, honestly.
>>273207919No one taught him not to do this.
>>273207941
>>273206528I wonder why they make her into one of Kagome’s friends in the anime.
>>273207956Five am, time to study.>>273207958That is weird.
>>273207978Could've been anybody.
>>273208001Letting him off nicely.
>>273208022Whoops.
>>273208043Took the first step.
>>273208108Oh?
>>273208127Oh.
>>273208146End of chapter. Well, she was spot on. I wonder if that last line was teasing Inuyasha for him coming and going.
Fight's over. Back to business. October 20th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: What sort of license do you wish you had?A: I wish I could effortlessly get a drivers license."
>>273208307Man, background Kiraras are something else.
>>273208338Another day, another dozen or so villagers dying.
>>273208404They might want to have some fun that can't be shown in a shonen manga.
>>273208487Oh no, another pair of bandits!
>>273208505Doesn't feel like dying.
>>273208583There they are. Miroku at least didn't prepare to use the wind tunnel before their appearance.
>>273208617Ew. Less cute.
>>273208631The bear joins the mantis demon and the oni with its exposed brain look.
>>273208692We get to meet the north cave wolf demon clan. They have darker furs. Furs or fur? It is hard to tell where their body ends. And yes, Koga is of the Eastern Wolf Clan.
>>273208745I kind of like the dynamic of the different clans.
>>273208774I also like that there is some real dissent within the clan as well, without them immediately killing each other.
>>273208792I guess they all have tails? Hard to tell at times.
>>273208307AIEEEEEEEEEEE FUCKING BEES!
>>273208834Hm? Who is this?
>>273208855Unsurprisingly, Koga's best friends stayed with him.
>>273208880Hm, that last line maybe should've been 'the shards'? Like all of the ones over at the castle? A little odd in context.
>>273208910Uh oh.
>>273208926End of chapter! I honestly don't know if the Saimyosho accidentally revealed Naraku's castle here or if this is part of his machinations and he lead them to it. I imagine he doesn't micromanage every single one and some of the swarms are just collecting shards on their own. But I wouldn't be surprised either way.
>>273208792Well Koga, they are about to do to you the same thing you did to that random village last volume, no hard feelings right?.
>>273208855ENTER SECOND BEST GIRL
Original title is 屍舞 which Google read as Chinese and said it meant, well, "corpse dance". It also translates as that in Japanese. Anyway, I've heard the phrase "corpse dance" before and I have no idea what the origin of it is. I don't know if it pertains to a particular story or ceremony, but apparently, it also exists in Japanese. There was also a Taiwanese short film by that name in 2022, though they localized the name in English as just "The Remains". I really wonder if this is an East Asian myth of some sort. Also, it is sometimes localized (in Inuyasha and other places) as "Dance of the Dead", which I believe is just another term for the French term Dance Macabre. October 27th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: Where do you go to heal?A: In my bed."
>>273209150Big ol' pile of bodies.
>>273209177Bleh. >>273209075Well, they're gonna do some more too.
>>273209177F Wolfguys.
>>273209197The living dead!
>>273209222The fan is part of the dancing theme. Since, well, lots of Japanese dances use fans. I don't feel like copying and pasting wikipedia at the moment regarding this, since there are a great variety of traditional Japanese dances that incorporate it.
>>273209314
>>273209333Perfect timing.
>>273209370Not what it looks like. Inuyasha-style.
>>273208973>play Kikyo and Inuyasha against each other, earning their enmity>repeatedly try to use Sesshomaru as a pawn, insulting his pride and earning his enmity >put a curse on a monk, cursing also his descendants up to Miroku, earning his enmity >manipulate Sango’s brother into killing their entire clan, then having him die and then revive as a pawn/hostage, earning Sango’s enmity >murder most of Koga’s wolf clan as yet another plot against someone else, earning his enmityNaraku does really suck at manipulating people, yet excels at pissing people off.
>>273209383So yeah, it was machinations. Very well timed machinations.
>>273209370Koga getting Bambozoled harder than Sango.
>>273209405I wonder if the sheath even has a sword in it or if the hilt is just built in.
>>273209439Oh wow, an extra powerful one. Lucky stuff.
>>273209450Hm.
>>273209395Yeah, pissing everyone off enough for them to put their diferences aside just to get rid of you is a great talent.
>>273209460
>>273209659
>>273209669Maybe her word can make him see the truth?
>>273209712Ah well.
>>273209739We haven't seen one of these sonic style attacks in a while. That's honestly the only way I can interpret these motion lines. Anyway, our other heroes have other stuff to do.
>>273209761End of chapter! We got a name. I'll post the name meaning in the next chapter, since it is titled after her.
The original title of this chapter and this chapter's name is 神楽 which is Kagura. Kagura is ancient Shinto music and dancing. It may also refer to a specific ritual in Shinto. It literally means 'god-entertainment'. There's apparently two components, mai and odori. It seems like a lot of variation exists. Anyway, continuing the dance theme. Here's Furinkan's note about her name:"Kagura's name is taken from an ancient Shinto song and dance. This is why her attacks had dance nomenclature."November 3rd, 1999. Author's note:"Q: If you made a theme park, what would the theme be?A: Three Kingdoms Park."Furinkan's note: "The Three Kingdoms is an era of Chinese history."
>>273209905
>>273209948
>>273209966Wow. I wonder if the Japanese sound effects were this skinny and extreme.
>>273209981Ouch.
>>273209994
>>273210025Apparently, Naraku had two different voice actors in the anime, one for the baboon pelt version and one for the noble. I find that a bit odd.
>>273210057
>>273210073Who could've foreseen this.
>>273210084
>>273210106Amaaaazing graaaace...
>>273210189
>>273210208Cute smile.
>>273210242
>>273210261No time for regrets.
>>273210295Fun screentone.
>>273210315Furinkan has a note on the anime episode (but not on the manga chapter...):"Kagura uses her attack Fujin no mai (風刃の舞/Dance of the Wind Blade)." Apparently it was called Dance of Blades in some localizations?
>>273210366End of chapter. The Japanese war fan is a real thing that existed, but it obviously wasn't used like this.
Starting off with a page. Cover is on the next one. These first four pages were originally in color. Also, the original title was 風使い which seems to translate to 'Wind User' or 'Wind Expert'. I guess VIZ went for alliteration. November 10th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: Who is a celebrity that had a particularly autumnal image?A: Ryu Chishu."
>>273210457What a cover, right? Ah well.
>>273210479
>>273210538Heh, someone called her out on this. She's said this line surprisingly often, but some of those times definitely were actual warning shots. Or at least, she sold it to me.
>>273210562
>>273210575
>>273210592
>>273210562Kagome should really consider joining the archery club at her school.
>>273210632I wonder how many of the emphasized words are from the Japanese text. I feel like I don't see bolded words in panels often but I admit I don't look at Japanese panels very often.
>>273210691Good job, Shippo.
>>273210722Hm? >>273210685Her scant time in the present has to be used for studying.
>>273210739Oops, all Naraku!
>>273210758
>>273210777Furinkan actually just put the note for both attacks on this chapter for some reason:"Her other attack is "Ryuja no mai" (竜蛇の舞/Dragon Snake Dance)."
>>273210822Twisters and tornadoes are associated with dragons in Japan. In fact, their word for tornado is 竜巻, Tatsumaki or Dragon Roll (like swirl or bundle). They don't usually impale things, I think.
>>273210964Not gentle assistance. But he can't really move.
>>273210998Hehe, that second panel.
>>273206544And not even a warning. What if Shippo catches it?
>>273211008Even for Kagome. That's pretty strong.
>>273211042Hm.
>>273206772You said that last time.
>>273211062Bit of a counter.
>>273211110End of chapter! That's the plan?>>273211098I looked it up and apparently, I lied, you totally could see the name though partially obscured and through a window so it was mirrored. But I didn't say the exact same thing, so there. Ah well.
November 17th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: What is a gift you give yourself after work?A: Sleep."
>>273211198
>>273211209
>>273211222
>>273211042Just cut his arm, it will probably grow back i guess.
>>273211233
>>273211272Is this really a 'same as Naraku' thing? But I guess his powers were terribly sensitive to Kagome's arrows.>>273211271Well, they definitely heal easier but I don't think they can regrow limbs. I mean, otherwise Sesshomaru wouldn't be using loaners still.
>>273211300
>>273211313
>>273211353Sure looks like it.
>>273211373Furinkan has the usual note about the golem or puppet again. Not copy and pasting it again.
>>273211410Makes sense.
>>273211432Hm. Here, Kagura calls it wind. I wonder how this was phrase in Japanese. I imagined it more as 'force' since you know, the wind in Kaze no Kizu refers to the wind that he is essentially avoiding with his slice.
>>273211457Hm.
>>273211472I wonder if Rumiko planned this when she put feathers in her hair. I bet not.
>>273211488Of course, if this was part of the plan, it wouldn't be the real castle. Plus, the whole 'no one else around' thing.
>>273211502
>>273211515End of chapter. Hmmm.
November 24th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: What is your favorite potted dish?A: Alfonsino with hot pot is delicious."
>>273211565I often wonder where Shippo and Kirara are during these scenes.
>>273211515Clearly we have to find that tattoo artist!
>>273211579Well, there's Shippo.
>>273211596The usual cheat with the angle of the sword drawing.
>>273211648Hey, someone called it.
>>273211658Hm. It was too strong for Kagome, but maybe the arrows?
>>273211671Honestly, pretty cool. But it does raise some questions for me. I guess it is just a tool to channel without touching it.
>>273211683Hwaah. Also, goofy Kagome.
>>273211706He ran like a bitch again.
>>273211706Weakga the fearful.
>>273211706Here's what Rumiko Takahashi had to say about Koga on Twitter on September 19th, 2021:"Rumiko Takahashi: Koga is a demon with fragments of the Shikon Jewel, I wanted to create a demon that wedges himself into the story and immediately likes Kagome from the get-go. I thought that would be really amusing.I also wanted to have a character that showed it wasn't bad to run away anytime he sensed danger."I do think that last bit is pretty refreshing in manga where so often characters are just willing to die out of pride rather than live to fight another day.
>>273211821Meanwhile, at the real castle...
>>273211838Quite an entrance.
>>273211852Hm.
>>273211862Apparently, the anime censored this and made it just a sphere.
>>273211895Mystery solved. At least for us.
>>273211912Hey, the modern first aid kit again. Also, some water bottles and a flashlight.
>>273211934Oh my god, Miroku, why would you say that out loud?
>>273211947He knows the secret!
>>273211986End of chapter! Another new character. This one's name in Japanese is 神無, which means "godless". Same first kanji as Kagura.
The name used for this chapter's title was in Japanese 小春 which apparently means 'little spring' (as in the season). It is an actual name.I don't normally like covers like this, but I do like how they are drawn here. December 1st, 1999. Author's note:"Q: What song do you listen to to get your fighting spirit going?A: Traditional Japanese music from the hit charts."
>>273212048Foggy.
>>273207354Imagine the smell.
>>273212063Furinkan says this is a "bamboo water carrier. This flask is known as a suitou (水筒)." Now we know.
>>273211934Such bigotry, Naraku is a beautiful multiplicity.
>>273212075Wrong to do that, but he's not wrong in his assessment.
>>273211986Naraku is such a coward. I think that at this point, Naraku could have killed Inuyasha if he took some risk.Koga and Inuyasha fighting, sending Kagura and him ambushing them at the end could have been a solid plan, but like always, Naraku is too much of a coward to put himself in danger.
>>273212092Quite a punch.
>>273212102He's probably still afraid of Kagome or Kikyo destroying him again.
>>273212116What a coincidence.
>>273212127Furinkan has a long-winded note regarding oil merchants. I'm posting it unaltered:"The guilds of the feudal age of Japan were known as za (座/seat). After the Meiji restoration, the za was either replaced, eclipsed or would gradually adopt more modern forms of business, eventually giving rise to the modern zaibatsu and keiretsu monopolies of the 20th century. one hundred years into the Sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga briefly took command of the country, and established "free" markets and guilds, known respectively as rakuichi (楽市) and rakuza (楽座). These dealt a severe blow to the power and influence of the older, monopolistic za, but did not replace them. Several other types of trade associations came into being around this time as well; though it could be argued that they replaced the za, it seems more likely that the change was a more gradual, organic one, and that the za could be said to have continued to exist, just in new forms and with new names. Saitō Dōsan (1494-1556), who was a monk turned oil merchant turned daimyō of Mino."
>>273212182Inuyasha also backed off. Even him.
>>273212200Not quite scum.
>>273212210Kagome's 15th birthday was in Chapter 1 of Inuyasha.
>>273212227Hehehehehehehe.
>>273212240Dangerous words.
>>273212247
>>273212269Sigh...
>>273212285We get a lot of scenes of the party spying on each other. Warranted here, admittedly.
>>273212305Hehehe. Also, Inuyasha's face in the third panel.
>>273212315She tried to be strong.
>>273212329End of chapter. ...
>>273211432Nice booba there, Kagura.
I already explained this, but here it is again. Japanese title was 神無 which is the name of this character. It means "godless".December 8th, 1999. Author's note:"Q: When you were a kid, what presents did you hope Santa Claus would bring you?A: A canopy bed."
>>273212426Oh, Miroku...
>>273212438Stern gazes.
>>273212452Hm...
>>273212480They do seem like a normal torch-wielding angry mob.
>>273212499Maybe shouldn't have had your little mascots show up?
>>273212508Looked a little worse than a normal fainting spell, honestly.
>>273212523I guess they are marching a bit oddly.
>>273212532Heh, Sango. You wield a boomerang the size of your body.
>>273212315Inuyasha is crying.
>>273212554Spotted.
>>273212567Oh no, the mirror is gonna break, that's bad luck. I don't know if Japan has that superstition.
>>273212581Not bisected though, which is good. Oh hey, Kirara. Been a bit.
>>273212592She speaks.
>>273212606Kind of the second time this happened.
>>273212581>>273212592Hiraikotsu status?
>>273212621
>>273212646Hello again.
>>273212656You know, is there any particular reason why she can only use it on the dead? Her powers Wind and Necromancy don't really have anything in common. Just one of those things, I guess.
>>273212686End of chapter, end of volume. I guess it is just dance relates to Corpse Dance, dance relates to fans. Fans relate to wind. Nothing too crazy. Feel free to use the thread to discuss anything Inuyasha related. I have some stuff I'll be using to bump the thread here and there.I will be returning Wednesday to dump Volume 16. Right now though, I'll be dumping "with CAT".
>>273212646I usually forget that Miroku is a strong fighter for human standards.
ウイズキャット or "with CAT" was published on October 13th, 1999 in Weekly Shonen Sunday instead of the usual Inuyasha chapter. As such, it was published around the same time as these chapters. This translation is an official one released by VIZ and since this wasn't collected until 2022, the art isn't flipped. Also, it has the original full colors! Yay! Thank you VIZ. I actually haven't really reread this one since I bought Came the Mirror (the collection this was in). I think it is a good time. Oh and we actually have an author's comment for this one:"Q: As far as today's youth are concerned please tell us what you think of them.A: They should stop wearing those tall sandals! In times of calamity you'd make a slow escape."
>>273212788Since it was Shonen Sunday, it actually was on the cover.
>>273212821Oh and here's that first cover illustration with the logo and all the other stuff.
>>273212834Hah, the other girls have henohenomoheji faces in the bottom panel. Also, here's Furinkan's note about these names:"The name Miya (美弥) is written with the kanji meaning "increasing beauty".Shuta (週太) is written with the kanji for "week" and "plump"."I don't think these are the typical kanji used for these names.
>>273212896Aw. She was crying.
>>273212913Another Furinkan note:"Torachiyo (虎千代) is written with the kanji meaning "thousand tiger era". Because of it having "tora/tiger" in the name, it is not an uncommon name for pet cats." He looks like Buyo. Very cute.
>>273212935Poor guy.
>>273212951Uh oh.
>>273212966Beating a hasty retreat.
>>273212980Ugh.
>>273212989Got ourselves the spooky drippy narration box.
>>273213004Purrmeow.
>>273213018Reminds me of Parasyte, a bit.
>>273213033She's still kickin'.
>>273213043Subdued reaction.
>>273213059Both bakeneko and nekomata (cat yokai) are said in folklore to come about when a cat gets to a certain age. Torachiyo is more bakeneko like since he had only one tail.
>>273213100The style contrast for grandma's panels is really funny, especially given how silly this story is.
>>273213018is this mao?
>>273213113Hmm.
>>273213126Probably should've handed the note. >>273213116Heh, right? Rumiko sure loves her bakeneko. I think like every single one of her major manga series has had one in some capacity.
>>273213159Aw.
>>273213174
>>273213186I love cats.
>>273213200A lot of toys for an outdoor cat.
>>273212508>No! I need them to know it was me!Naraku, probably.
>>273213214Is he keeping your eyes open too?
>>273213228That's a cute basket.
>>273213243I forgot how funny this story was. Also, the vet's? I guess he was getting up there.
>>273213258Are those meatballs dressed up to look like cherries? Cute.
>>273213277Hah, even tiny background grandma has the spooky shading.
>>273213298Thin walls.
>>273213326Sigh.

>>273206952That is a perfect fuck-up, honestly.
>>273211300Inuyasha regrew his eye even as a half-demon. Unless wounds from your demon father's teeth are permanent.
>>273214925But the girl didn't even have lines.
>>273208043Hojo, my nigga... you're like an overconfident unaware Mitaka...
>>273215223I guess eyes are technically more complex than limbs, but I feel fiction treating them differently.
incredibly based thread, keep up God's work
I've been rewatching the anime and damn, the switch to digital animation was sad. Not that the show starts to look bad afterwards or anything, but it definitely loses a lot of the magic. The earlier episodes are extremely beautiful.
>>273211432Perky
>>273207483Is this the first Kagome bathing scene without showing her tits?
>>273206772Miroku again showing he is the smartest member of the group. He can read Inuyasha like a book.
>>273206952tama is egg and tori is chicken
>>273218504Which came first, tama or tori?
>>273208855ENTER BEST GIRL
>>273212686Kagura sends her wind inside the corpses then she controls that wind.
>>273213412cute, i am not so fond of the girl relentlessly hating man for silly misunderstanding but at least it has a proper conclusion and its short.>>273213159actually i think her first bakeneko was maomolin in ranma right?
>>273206330Thanks op
>>273213412Thank you for posting.
>>273212708>>273209197https://youtu.be/4V90AmXnguw&t=44
>>273213186>>273213200Dem beans
>>273212788All the little details in the drawings really elevate this above what would be a boring chapter in one of Rumiko's main series. Also nice that we have official collours in this, is the rest of the official collection also in collour?
>>273224346It is!
>>273218785Kotatsuneko or Kotatsu Kitty is a bakeneko.
I sort of need this thread to survive until I get home to post some extra covers.
You know, Inuyasha?
>>273226797Ganbare!
>>273226797>waiting 15min to bump your thread
>>273206974DUDE seriously
>>273211432HOLY FUCKING BOOBY
>>273211488so she ran away after being hit once? how nice that inuyasha, who is really barely standing, should get such a lucky break. Stupid but i guess that's shonen for ya.
>>273232614>Stupid but i guess that's shonen for yaYou could post this line all the time here on /a/
>>273208243Well the wind scar could've killed her and reinforcements for Inuyasha just arrived.
>>273232614nah, fights ending fast with one decisive hit is a lot more realistic than the much more common shonen trope of multiple episode long fights where all of them should have been knocked out, immobilized or died 20times.
>>273206330Ok anons I want a clear answer. I want to finally finish inuyasha. What do I do? Read the manga or watch the anime?
>>273236012>Read the manga or watch the anime?do both
>>273236012Read the manga.
>>273234585Well I just caught this and now it's too late to delete this post, but it was meant to be a reply to >>273232614
>>273208404Life is cheap and death is free in the Warring States Period
>>273210457Here is the cover of the Weekly Shonen Sunday where this chapter debuted.
>>273206588Cute Sango. I wish I could rub her butt.
>>273209507It is when you're meant to be a villain in a shonen battle manga
>>273210084I've seen enough hentai, yadda yadda yadda Sango tentacle rape.
Here are the cover illustrations that VIZ kindly included. I have essentially posted these before, but as the volume covers so with the title and other stuff. Here, we just get the illustration. Enjoy!
>>273240545
>>273240874
>>273208001He does sit like a dog, huh.
>>273208487Why would they want the girls? It's not like they can sell them I think
>>273208855ENTER TITS (eventually)
>>273209395There's a reason why Naraku's number one technique is AYEEE IM ABOUT TO DIE TIME TO RUN.
>>273210562>Kagome tries Bluff!>It failed!
>>273211222Silly Kagome, he knows you can't hit him with your shitty aim
>>273211432I know she's technically part of Naraku, but DAMN
>>273232614She's a spawn of naraku of course she's gonna bail at the first sign of trouble
>>273212008And so it begins, the infinite filler-spawn of minions.
>>273212116HIraikotsu can't even best two bandits now, Inuyasha needs to step in
>>273212227Off the clock, ready to go.
>>273242611I knew someone would say that. I genuinely have no idea why Rumiko didn't just have Sango beat them up.
Koga's a bitch, picks fights he can't finish and runs before he can take his punishment, even at his best he can't win a fightI've been having a hard time keeping up with storytimes, so I haven't had a chance to give proper thanks. Keep it up OP.
>>273211198>SleepSpoken like a true workaholic
Who’s fourth best girl after Sango, Kagura and Kikyou?
>>273212581>>273212592Now not only it's useless, but actually self-harming.
The manga does a good job characterizing everyone in a fair way. Too bad the anime abuses their bad qualities for the same jokes each episodes. Specially Miroku being touchy/the mother of my kids and kagome sit commandthose are a rare in the manga
>>273243391Rin
>>273211432I remember back in the day my local library had this one. Needless to say it got checked out often
>>273206464>>273207724Sometimes you get Kagome wearing a beautiful outfit like pic related and sometimes you get her wearing whatever those boots are.
>>273206952>when the fuck is perfectly accurate in contexttop kek>>273207015>>273207029This the peak Rumiko's misunderstanding jokes. I can't get any better than this>>273208243This is IY's "they were on a break" moment. It was HER fault btw
>>273208855>>273209118>>273218589*ENTER NARAKU (GENDERBENT)>>273209370>>273209410But he deserves it lol
>>273209075That reminds me, I think I discovered something interesting. So far we haven't seen any human-looking yokai eat people have we? Only monstrous-looking yokai were shown doing that. Even if it's mentioned, it's never shown. Like with what Koga did to the village. Only the wolves, not Koga himself, were eating humans. The Thunder Brothers are widely known to eat girls alive but there was no scene explicitly showing that. Urasue planned to pickle and eat Kagome but obviously that never happened. The false water god eats the sacrificed children but we didn't see that happen either. That's all of them so far right?
>>273212554
>>273236012both
>>273236012>finally finishThat means you have some progress already? How far are you? The manga is better but the anime has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
>>273212200This was hilarious in the anime>>273212240Best page of the whole manga so far lmao
>>273249910it's okay when Pedhomaru does it though
>>273248979There was the fake sennin, but he technically wasn't a demon
>>273211947He cannot control his horny
>>273212240A surprising oversight from the resident erobozu
>>273212980Torachiyo didn't confirm the kill. Weak shit.
>>273213412Thanks for the dump
>>273208243Kagome is so sweet. Her reputation for being bitchy is undeserved.
>>273250119Yeah quite ironic. Only a human has been shown doing that and he was already more monstrous-looking than the yokai.
>>273249271cute
>>273213582ganbare
>>273249271
>>273206636Reading the manga gives you more time to absorb the story beats, and it helps me understand why women like Inuyasha so much, they'd love to be in a love triangle with 2 tough animal boys. And with other characters like Hojo and Miroku, it is basically a harem manga.>>273206952I like how you haven't just been dumping, but adding comments to give little insights and stuff for people to comment on, makes the threads more fun.
>>273209761I was wondering why they would know to call it a "dance", if it's a translation thing or Rumiko wanted to keep the dance thing going to remind us that the "corpse dance" is continuing with Inuyasha and Koga, who're getting played.
>>273208243Kagomes thighs...
>>273211472>
>>273211432I think Rumiko just loves boobs and will find excuses to draw them
>>273212210If the son looked like Miroku, she would have been blushing, but because he is a sub5, she assaulted him, ran, and got saved for being a girl. Such is the life of a cel.>>273211706Koga's insults were a little more creative in the anime, he always called him a mutt like he's from /int/, funniest one was "Inutrasha"
>>273259427Yeah, if she wanted to have sex with the guy she would be forced to, things would be different.
>>273251280The anime made her seem worse than she is. Ironically enough, Kikyo also got done dirty.
>>273211821That's called plot armor. The first time Koga sensed something dangerous was coming and ran away even though he didn't know about the wind scar because he would've died otherwise and the plot needs him to be alive.
>>273248979Maybe it had to do with incidents of cannibalism in Japanese media, that stuff happened way before Inuyasha's serialization, but these sort of things leave a mark.
>>273212426Given the trend of Rumiko-sensei's answers, I have to wonder if that's why she made Kagome's bed look so comfortable and show up as frequently as it did. And as people pointed out, it wasn't a traditional room either.>>273210998I like how cutesy Kagome is drawn here, she seems more like a young girl in the manga whereas she is BUILT in the anime.
>>273246342>It was HER fault btwWas it? Kagome made it clear there was nothing between her and Koga but Inuyasha was still jealous and wouldn't accept it.
>>273264570>picKagome is underrated
>>273267325But never forgotten. And yeah her design is very balanced
>>273268724Tiny party Kagome
I am owed sex with Kagome.
>>273270880Koga, please
>>273265898>Gets kidnapped>Endangered>Inuyasha worried as fuck in his tsundereism>When he finally finds her in a chaotic battlefield she's teaming up with her kidnapper>After all was said and done she actually protected Koga>As if that wasn't she actually scolded InuyashaHER FAULT
>>273208855In the anime, Kagura was introduced with a closeup shot on her bare feet
>>273207817>he's hoping for MaoLOL LMAO You WILL get a shitty IY remake and you're going to enjoy it when it butchers the OG episodes pre-digital shift and wait for Mao forever because never ever
>>273212592Shouldn't she have been able to catch it?Doesn't it normally come back?
>>273274733Well, normally not right away.
>>273207029
Inuyasha on /a/?!
>>273276619Almost two months of it.
>>273213186I know this is heartwarming in context but it just looks funny.
Not sure if this was discussed yet, but if anyone's wondering why the characters sometimes break into old timey English, it's likely because Gerard Jones did the rewrite. This may actually be an older version of the Viz translations, because I read that they were redone after he was imprisoned for having and sharing pizza.. You'll see a few examples of this in other manga, and in the case with DBZ, it got phased out.https://www.furinkan.com/features/interviews/jones.html
>>273277321I wonder how long it'll go.
>>273280191I mentioned him and his rewrites when it came to some of his other work (one-shots and whatnot). These are scans of the latest VIZ translation, so I assume the archaic phrases were either kept or relocalized for villagers since they had a certain patois.
>>273274733What's the difference between a boomerang going forwards and a boomerang coming back?
>>273284080cute evil
>>273284080best girl
>>273239657fair
>>273213116Mao anime when?
>>273290229After the Ranma remake, and the Maison Ikkoku remake, and the Inuyasha remake, and the Rinne remake, and the UY remake remake...
>>273290229Ranma 2024 will probably run till at least early 2029.UY 2022 will almost certainly get something more for its 50th anniversary.Not that Mao has to wait for that to be over, but now that Rumik anime is a thing again, they probably want to avoid splitting the audience.
lovely
>>273291172Damn, you'd think they'd jump on it...
>>273292363Somehow I do think it's going to be put on the backburner until they're done milking the rest.
>>273288855…after Sango, Kagura, Kikyo and Rin.
>>273296093I think they're going to wait and see how many volumes it runs total, how popular it is after it is finished, and how well Ranma does.
>>273295021Why would they when the medium is collapsing by not having anything remotely recognizeable anymore so they're remaking anything with a name and reputation of old times? I'm all up for some mecha remakes but... modern anime is far worse than early 00s
>>273215058Not only for the obvious reason which is great enough, but the wide-eyed bafflement at the thought of a sane human being dating an American is the cherry on the sundae.
>>273297624>wait and see how many volumes it runs total, how popular it is after it is finishedI thought anime was to boost manga sales. Why would they reverse the formula?
>>273298479I suppose. I'm not that broadly versed.
>>273295021As a reminder, it took Rinne six years to get an anime.
>>273299953It will still boost manga sales when it finally happens, but it lets them have a better chance of making a plan and getting a budget that makes sense.
>>273250546Maybe it's a sign that Sango is special to him. Or maybe he didn't get the opportunity to since they met under serious circumstances and he forgot to ask later.
>>273211432BOBS
but was he based and /ourguy/
>>273250546All according to keikakku (plan). Trust the plan (keikakku)
>>273208855
>>273306244kek nice
>>273309418WTF?
>mfw reading this page the manga is soo good
>>273312934Careful with the spoilers
This thing killed several people and nobody even talks about it after this chapter/episode. Is it safe to say that people in the modern era are already well aware of the existence of demons?
>>273315198No one cares about yankee delinquents.
>>273315198Demons? It was just the Japanese cold.
>>273315198Only schizos like Kagome's grandpa believe in demons.
>>273315198Nobody knows that thing was responsible.>>273315886They were just ordinary middle school hoodlums, not yankees. You're also forgetting the young woman who was its first victim.
>>273318422uh oh
>>273275278cute
>>273293151I thought Miroku usually naruto ran alongside them
>>273322926He apparently did for a volume or so before Sango showed up. Now I know why I didn't realize he could keep pace with Inuyasha.
>>273315198They get psy-op'd into believing it was aliens.
Not yet.
>>273208043Poor fucker.
>>273208338Man why are the men in the sengoku era always so fuckin ugly, aside from like Miroku and such?
>>273242027Anon, you have such a beautifully innocent mind.
>>273212008
>>273326882Those are old villagers. Miroku is a strapping young man running around killing demons, charming ladies, and smooth-talking to get all the resources and fortunes he wants.
