I really liked the poltergeist storyline in this one. Everything else was kinda okay compared to it.

Volume four, for me, was more of an emotional experience for me. This volume seemed to be focused a lot on the love of a family and the power of it.
Manten and Hiten are two characters who truly demonstrate what siblings can be like. Hiten was so mean to his brother, always calling him names and constantly degrading him at every chance. Yet, Manten still sticks by his brother and follows his very word. When Manten dies, Hiten shows finally shows his love for his brother in his heartbroken despair. Though, it was kind of gross when he ate Manten's heart. I always really liked Hiten's design, but never really understood how the two of them were brothers when Manten looks more demon-esque than he does. I suppose they could be half brothers, perhaps?
The story of Mayu and the Tatari-Mokke almost made me cry. I loved this episode of the anime, but reading it was way more of a tug on the heart strings. The Tatari-Mokke, I thought, was kind of creepy looking. How could such a creepy thing be the guardian of dead children until they move on? If I was a dead child and had to meet that thing, I'd probably be terrified.
Part of me kind of wanted to see them be dragged to hell, just to see how that would have resulted. It certainly would have been an interesting adventure.

I keep repeating myself with every volume, but if you've only seen the anime then there's no need for you to read this. It's exactly the same. We continued on with the introduction of Shippo and the fight with the Thunder Brothers. It ends with one of the most depressing stories (in my opinion) of Kagome and Inuyasha dealing with the ghost of a young girl in Kagome's time.

Re-reading this series is making me so giddy and fangirly I can barely stand it!
In this episode we are introduced to one of the cutest characters in the whole series: SHIPPO!
How can you not love this face???
Also, whenever Shippo would transform into this
I laughed hysterically!

Still reads almost exactly like watching the anime.
InuYasha and Shippo take on the thunder Brothers to save Kigome.
Kigome tries to save the spirit of a troubled child bent on having her brother join her in the afterlife. Despite InuYasha maintaining he isn't going to help, he ends up lending her a hand. Not much of one, but enough.
More fun to come and we move on to volume 5!
