The first half of the third volume of this series introduces us to a couple new friends (Nobunaga and his monkey) and to a new frog demon. Once again, Inuyasha’s cockiness is suppressed by Kagome’s wit after she saves the day. I really enjoyed the second half, with a completely different demon that, as opposed to all the demons we’ve seen so far, lives in the present day inside a Noh mask and wants Kagome’s jewel shards. It was creepy and amazing. Inuyasha goes through even more character development when fighting alongside Kagome, and he learns they can protect each other in an equally balanced way. We also meet a magic fox kid, Shippo, who wants revenge against the two demon brothers Maten and Hiten, who are introduced in feudal Japan near the end and are seen possessing Shikon jewel shards. I can’t wait to keep reading.
My favorite part about this volume was the clash between Kagome’s two worlds: how she’s handling demon-fighting and magic Shikon-jewel quests in past Japan vs. school, exams, family, friends, and dates in present-day Japan.

Noh Way!
I love when the demons in the past clash with the future! I also love Shota’s view of Inuyasha compared to Kagome’s

Rumiko is a genius. She does such a great job at creating characters and with injecting humor. In my book, she can do no wrong and I am loving Inuyasha so much.
