As a fan of Inuyasha, I was equal parts excited and anxious for this, and I'm happy the excitement was the warranted emotion. Volume one feels like a bridge between series and might feel a little slow to anyone unfamiliar with the first, but the fights and characters should compel anyone to move forward. It's nice to follow a team of young women who aren't falling into old stereotypes (let's hear it for twenty years of progress!) and I look forward to the story volume 2 will pick up.

As a looooong time fan of the original Inu Yasha, the sequel has me jumping in anticipation! I looooved this first volume and it's brisk introduction of our new main characters, the next generation! Three girls to be precise. It seems to be a well-rounded trio - the stoic, the wild child, and the reader stand-in character. Familiar faces and demons are with us from the start, with callbacks to the original series.

What a great beginning! I'm looking forward to the whole series.

This is an interesting retelling of the sequel to InuYahsa, Yashahime.. Heads up, some spoilers for the Yashahime anime series are not considered so in this manga. I mainly want to see how the manga's story will turn into its own thing. The adventures of the main girls are still a lot of fun.

Perhaps because the story it's based on was a originally a manga, the manga version of <i>Yashahime</i> is a bit easier to enjoy than its source anime. It gives a better sense of who Towa is and how different she is from Moroha and Setsuna, and Takashi Shiina is much better with the monsters than his animator counterparts. It's still not as instantly good as <i>Inu Yasha</i>, but it feels much closer in spirit to Rumiko Takahashi's storytelling, making it the version to pick up if you're curious about <i>Inu Yasha</i>'s sequel.

I have not seen the anime, but I have both read and watched Inuyasha in the past. I used to love the series, so I was very excited to read this manga.

This series follows Inuyasha/Kagome's daughter and Sesshōmaru/Rin's children as they make their way through the world in order to save their parents from some kind of demonic calamity.

I really like that they recap the events of the previous story in the beginning and give enough detail for me to recall the story and pick up from where this one is starting. I am still a bit confused about the conflict that's going on, though, but I assume that will become clearer as the story continues.

My conflict with this story is the fact that Sesshōmaru and Rin had children. Rin was a child during the Inuyasha series, so her growing up to marry Sesshōmaru leaves me feeling gross. Though I had seen it coming I am still very put off by it. I will not be reading the rest of the series because of this.

Well, that was a surprise, good, but surprising.

I've been watching the anime, and I enjoy it, my friend got me into it because she loved the original series, and this is very close to the anime but with quite a few differences that I honestly prefer!
I love how the girls were raised, which is different in the show, and how different the history of what happened to separate them from their parents seems to be at the moment.
