Book Reviews of Inu-Yasha : A Feudal Fairy Tale, Vol. 1
Book Review: Takahashi does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This just might be the best I've read by the formidible and prolific (and gifted!) Ms. Takahashi. Human, funny, kinda scary and packed with Japanese mythology, she's at top form in this new series. Kagome lives in moden Japan, with a grandfather obsessed with tales legends and magic, which Kagome completely ignores -- until her 15th birthday, when the legends, magic and myths of Japan come to life to pull her out of her own time and into Japan's feudal past. There, she discovers that she is the reincarnation of a priestess, Kikyo, who was the town's only barrier of defense from the demons swarming the land -- and the bearer of the Jewel of Four Souls, an item of great magical power that all the demons of Japan wish to get. Especially Inu-Yasha, the half-demon, whom Kikyo put under a trap spell, and who's got a major axe to grid with that priestess, even if her spirit is now in Kagome's unaware and innocent form. Yeah, no matter how I summarize this, it's going to sound confusing. Takahashi plotlines are always complicated, and always a joy to read. I, myself, am going to have a *very* difficult time waiting for the next volume to come out! If you're a Takahashi fan, this is a must-have. If you've never read her stuff before, this might be the best way to start (though you can never go wrong with Ranma 1/2!). Those five stars above this text are spinning and sparkling ones, and this volume more than deserves them!
