Osuwari!
What can I say about Inuyasha? This has to be my all time favorite anime/manga. It is really unfortunate that the anime ends at 167. Hopefully they will pick it back up, or at least continue it through OAV's.The manga available in English, is up to around where episode 60-70 would be, I believe and volume 24. In Japan, its up to 420 chapters and tankouban volume 42.I highly recommend this series, for adults only though. Just like the anime, it is very violent and (at least in the Japanese edition) has very strong language, and some partial nudity.The story follows a half youkai/half human boy, Inuyasha. He meets a girl from the 20th century Kagome, who is transported back in time 500 years to the Feudal era of Japan. Inuyasha is after a sacred artifact that can greatly increase youkai powers and has other magical properties, the shikon no tama, in order to become full youkai (youkai=poorly translated as demons). But a mishap happens with the jewel, and it gets broken into a million pieces; apparently to make the series go on for ever. :)Eventually the two become a group of 5 Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo searching for the shards of the shikon no tama, and their arch enemy Naraku who is also searching for the shards. The story's base plotline is the group searching for the shards and Naraku.But along the way is an array of subplots involving the characters personal relationships to each other, Inuyasha and his brother Sesshomaru rivalry, Sesshomaru's hunt for Naraku and his relationships (I wont spoil anything in case you dont know already), the mystery behind the swords Tessaiga and Tenseiga (go Meidou Zangetsuha!) and many other characters that would be to numerous to list.It will be interesting to see how this series ends, will Kagome end up with Inuyasha? Will Kohaku survive? Will Sesshomaru finally bring the smack-down on Inuyasha? (You can do it Sesshomaru-sama!) I guess we shall see....This series is an international hit for a reason, unlike alot of manga/anime that is soley based on showy violence and unbelievable romances, this one has deep character development and is not as transparent as you would expect.I personally have not read the translated version, but if you can I would definitley get the original Japanese. Alot is lost in translation (no pun intended), and it is way (waaayyyy) better in its original language.

Esse, sem sombra de dúvidas, é um dos meus animes favoritos. Mistura o romance á batalha, o contexto histórico com viagens no tempo e criaturas sobrenaturais.Kelly AlineInfância

Inuyasha foi um dos animes que eu AMAVA aassistir quando era criança, e continuo amando essa obra com todo o meu coração. Então, nada mais justo do que materializar isso com esse mangá hahaha
Sobre o envio e o produto:
O preço foi salgado (Jesus amado, R$51,90 pra um mangá! Foi-se a época em que eu pagava menos de R$10 em um :,( ), mas valeu a pena. Diferente da maioria dos mangás de hoje em dia, ele não é feito em folha de jornal (ainda bem né, apguei o olho da cara por ele haha), e tem uma capa linda. Veio bem embalado, sem rasura alguma e chegou rapidíssimo, em 1 dia útil!.
Enfim, nada mais a comentar. Somente, leiam!
