Five Stars!! Yayyyy!!Jul 03, 2002
These books are really good. It can be enjoyed by both genders because of a female main character, some almost romance stuff (don't worry, it gets better!) then there's a male main character, lots of action and some gory stuff. There's also a lot of backround plots going on along that makes the whole story even more interesting. #5 is like this: Kagome and Inu-Yasha help Nazuna fight the Spider-Heads, and there is one kinda-romance scene with Kagome and Inu-Yasha. Then Kikyo's bones get stolen by an ogeress so Kaede, Inu-Yasha, and Kagome run off to get them back, resulting in lots of backround info on Kikyo and Inu-Yasha's relationship, that Kagome misses because her soul wasn't in her body. Confused? Then you'd better get the book! Just so you know, Kagome and Inu-Yasha's relationship doesn't improve much untill.....well, I don't know when the climax in the relationship is, because I'm up to #11 and Inu-Yasha's just seen Kagome naked like, 3 more times but he just pretends nothing happened. (How Frustrating!!!! NNNNNNNNNNHHHHH!)

Inu-Yasha: Weakness Brings Love CloserMar 16, 2003
By Sango
In the Inu-Yasha comics, you can totally tell Inu-Yasha and Kagome have a "thing" for each other. But neither of them are brave enough to admit it. In the 5th graphic novel, there are two main parts where you can perfectly tell Inu-Yasha is really sweet and is partially expressing his feelings for Kagome. In the beginning of the book, Inu-Yasha turns human for the first time in the series. When he's been bit by the spider head demon, he lies partially unconscious because of the poison. Their only hope is to wait till morning when he'll change back to a half demon. Inu-Yasha asks Kagome why she was crying for him and then he asks if he can lay on her lap. While lying on Kagome, Inu-Yasha says she smells good and Kagome gets mad because before Inu-Yasha said he hated her scent. Inu-Yasha says he lied about hating it. The second main part is when Kagome tells Inu-Yasha to forget about Kikyo (Inu-Yasha is back to half demon on this part). She screams something like, "Does it bother you so much that I look like Kikyo? Do you hate me for it?" Inu-Yasha grabs her hand and leans closer to her. He says, "You have it wrong" in the sweetest voice ever. Kagome's heart is pounding. Then, stupidly, Kagome pushes Inu-Yasha away screaming, "What is wrong with you?!" (In my opinion, they were SO close to kissing in that scene!) All in all, so far that's the best Inu-Yasha comic. But I'm sure there'll be better once I get more graphic novels. I rate this book 5 stars and reccommend it to anyone who's read volumes 1-4 of the Inu-Yasha series. I loved the romantic parts (above)and their adventures are spectacular.

 A Great Fantasy ReadNov 28, 2004
By J. A Carty
"Jessie Carty"
I was little surprised (given the author) that this was such a well-written manga but I was surprised that there was still humor.
Some of the action is not as well drawn as the conversation episodes of the work but still very enjoyable.
For the parents, there is one brief scene of some topless nudity but nothing overt.
I am looking forward to continuing this series.

My Favorite VolumeJul 01, 2005
By Hakajin
"Ecclectic Student"
There are 21 volumes of "Inu-Yasha" out as I write this, but volume 5 is still my favorite.
Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and Shippou meet a young girl whose village is being attacked by spider head demons. Strangely, Inu-Yasha is reluctant to help. We get to see Inu-Yasha's human form for the first time, and if you like the romance between Inu-Yasha and Kagome, you'll love this volume. I like the series before I read this, but this one made me fall in love with it.
If you haven't read up to this point, you'll probably want to get the other volumes first. Inu-Yasha is a must for any manga collection.

more great readingJun 28, 2002
By M. Cookson
Although I still think it would be best to read at least the first book in this series before you try the later books, this is the first book that includes a brief "The Story Thus Far" section, plus a little about the characters involved in this volume. In this book, Inu-yasha, Kagome, and a girl named Nazuna have to deal with Spider-Head demons. Unfortunately, Inu-yasha's half-demon heritage gives him a secret weakness that could get them all killed. In the second half of the book, an ogress steals the bones of Kikyo, the priestess who fired the enchanted arrow that imprisoned Inu-yasha for so many years. The ogress wants to bring Kikyo back to life, but Kagome's existance interferes with that plan. Inu-yasha has to try to deal with the feelings he used to have for Kikyo. This book proves that the series isn't falling into a rut. Inu-yasha's secret is interesting and unexpected, and I enjoyed finding out more about Inu-yasha and Kikyo's past.
