Product Description
Naraku's weapon against Inu-Yasha is a beautiful wind-witch named Kagura, who not only has incredible powers but also seems to be an extension of the enigmatic Naraku himself. Soon, Kanna and Inu-Yasha's brother Sessho-Maru join the fray, with shocking consequences.

 FIGHTING SHARDS OF NARAKU May 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Kikyo must really hate Inuyasha because she gave most of the Shikon Jewel fragments to Narauku, which increased his power to such an extent that he can actually create new demons from his own body. One of his incarnations, Kanna, an eerie white haired young girl has captured Kagome and Sango's souls in her magic mirror, along with some villagers. Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Miroku battle against Kagura, another part of Naraku, that can control winds. On top of all this, a THIRD incarnation of Naraku shows up to kill our heroes!
So far from reading this manga and watching the anime, I haven't really seen any logical rationale for Kikyo's granting Naraku the Shikon shards. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. Is Kikyo thinking that the more evil the shards become, the greater the ritual will be if she or Kagome ever get around to purifying it? Or does she want to kill Naraku at the moment of his triumph if he gains all the shards? Or is she just playing with him, allowing him to be overconfident in his powers? No matter how you slice it, I don't get it. Hopefully, it's not just a contrivance to extend the series. The relationship between Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome is a pretty complex one which gives some much needed gravitas to all the battles going on this volume. I think it was also a cool move by Takahashi to give some of the parts of Naraku individual will, which sometimes can lead to outright rebellion, especially with Kagura. She wants her freedom, even though she is a part of Naraku. Inuyasha is an excellent manga, but after 16 volumes of great stories, saying this has become a bit repetitive.
Inuyasha Books ROCK!! February 12, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
All of the Inuyasha books are excellent but this book takes the
story to an all time high point. There are many twists and turns during the whole series and now there's a big question about Kikyo and Naraku. The books are really good if you like Japanese animation and love fantasy or action stories. I highly suggest the Inuyasha books!!!

The best comic book I've ever read January 30, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm from Korea and I've read lots of comic books but Inuyasha was so far THE BEST. I've read till volume 33 and it gets more and more exciting everytime! I read all of them in Korean and Japanesse but I've read one of them in English. The English version is kinda weird cuz they talk strangly. I think the japanese and korean version was better. In volume 16, Inuyasha will be turning into his demon form! And his tessaiga breaks but he gets it fixed again. Everyone HAS to read this, it's a great book!
