OKAY I love this volume?? Like we get introduced to Onigumo/Naraku lore here, and then what really happened with Kikyo, Inuyasha, and Naraku. And you know what, I gotta hand it to Naraku, what he did was truly evil and manipulative like damn 😭

Also Kikyo??? Yeah I'm still mad about her pinning Kagome to that tree and making her watch her interaction with Inuyasha loooorrddd 💀 if she didn't want Kagome to interfere, she could have killed her or knocked her out. But no she wanted her to watch??? Girl be for real 😭😂

Anyway. Human Inuyasha makes another appearance in this as well! I love him with all my heart, I'm afraid 🥲😂 Inuyasha's humanity and soul is also discussed, and I don't know, but I just love it. Inuyasha's humanity is a part of him, and contrary to what he may think, it makes him strong than any other full demon out there.

We also get introduced to Sango and Kokahu here! 😭 I always thought their story is one of the saddest in the anime and it just makes my heart hurt. It's no different here in the manga 🥲

Excited to continue to Volume 4!

Exact rating: 4.5
