Inuyasha Volume Five (1997.) The fifth graphic novel in the Inuyasha series.

INTRODUCTION:
When I was younger, I was a big-time anime fan. Although little of the Japanese animation was being shown on American TV back then, what little I saw, I liked. It fast became apparent that the Japanese had a much better way of creating animation - one that fused seriousness and comedy perfectly, and one that would appeal to people of all ages - NOT just children. And in recent years I had pretty much abandoned my interest in anime altogether. However, I had always remained curious, and in the more recent years I had heard of a series called Inuyasha that was constantly getting praised. I watched a few episodes, and it wasn't hard to see why. The series was created by Rumiko Takahashi, creator of Ranma 1/2 (a series that remains VERY popular.) Although I liked the episodes I saw on TV, they started somewhere in the middle of things, and I wanted to get the story from the beginning. Since the episode DVDs were too pricey, I opted for the manga (comic/graphic novel) version (most animes are based on manga.) Read on for my review of Inuyasha Volume Three.

STORYLINE OVERVIEW:
Inuyasha has one of those stories that's EXTREMELY tough to put into words, but I'll try my best. Bear with me here, people. Several centuries ago in Japan, there were ongoing wars, between humans and demons alike. In modern-day japan, a girl named Kagome lives on a shrine with her family, and one day one of the demons from the past pulls her down the shrine's well. The well is a linking point between the modern age and the age in the distant past, in which wars were raging constantly. She is revealed to be the reincarnation of a priestess who, several years earier, killed an evil half-demon called Inuyasha. But, through several odd twists of fate, she is forced to join forces with the resurrected Inuyasha, to recover the shards of a sacred jewel, which could be used to greatly increase the powers of and demon, good or evil, who gets their hands on them. Although reluctant to help at first, Kagome finally decides to help Inuyasha, realizing that the well is the warp point between times, she doesn't want to put her family in immediate danger. (I KNOW, that's not the best possible summary. If you want a better one, visit one of the various fansites.)

IN THIS VOLUME:
This volume picks up right where its predecessor left off. Following the events in the most recent story, Kagome and Inuyasha rescue a young girl, and learn that her father was killed by spider demons who had recently taken over a nearby shrine. Soon enough, The group finds themselves in a struggle against the leader of these demons - and it's not made any better by the fact that he has taken the group's Shikon jewel shards. And that's only half the story. As if the spider demons weren't trouble enough, an evil sorceress is plotting to resurrect Kikyo, the priestess who originally killed Inuyasha fifty years ago. And since this sorceress lacks a soul for the body of the reborn Kikyo, she decides to steal Kagome's! This volume marks the first appearance of the reborn Kikyo.

OPINIONS:
Overall, I am very satisfied with this series - it's been a LONG time since I liked an anime and/or manga this much. Rumiko Takahashi has once again succeded beautifully, combining seriousness with comedy, and creating an excellent storyline fusing history and fantasy alike. It was great to finally get the proper introduction to the series. I urge you to get the proper introduction yourself, as well. If you just start watching/reading somewhere in the middle of the series, you may be left dazed and confused and judge the series based on an awkward first impression. DON'T make that mistake.

CURRENT EDITION:
The edition of this manga currently available is actually a second edition - the first edition is now out of print and is no longer readily available. I'm VERY satisfied with the way the Inuyasha manga got ported to America. First and most importantly, it's uncensored. Many manga series get heavy editing when they get an American release, as do their anime counterparts. Another thing I am happy about is they "Americanized" the reading style, while at the same time staying true to the original projected vision. For those of you who don't know, the Japanese read from right to left, and sometimes mangas are ported in that fashion. Being an American, I'm used to reading from left to right, so I was glad to see that it was ported into English in a "left to right" reading style (and all of the images have been reversed to reflect the change and to stay true to the original vision.) Likewise, these graphic novels are almost two hundred pages each, and since each one costs less than ten bucks, they're a pretty good deal. Overall, it's great to see Inuyasha didn't butchered the way some series do.

OVERALL:
Inuyasha is the best anime/manga series to come along for me in a long time. It's not hard to see why so many people call it one of their favorites. I personally recommend the manga over the anime, since the manga came first and is, therefore, Takahashi's original vision. Likewise, the DVDs are kind of a rip-off pricewise. But whether you decide to do the anime, the manga, or both, you're likely to agree it's an excellent series.

Spiderheads bring out the best in people..........2003-04-14

Up until now we've only seen a few instances where Inu Yasha and Kagome are not tearing into each other. He goes to modern-day Tokyo to rescue her from the Noh mask, and she gets in the way of his brother to get the sword to Inu Yasha. In this book, we actually get to hear them be slightly romantic to each other! Kagome cares for the weakened Inu Yasha (I won't tell you why) and he says something very sweet to her that makes her start to rethink her feelings for the dog-demon.

Of course, we see more of Shippo, the cutest kitsune ever!

Inu-Yasha: Weakness Brings Love Closer.......2003-03-17

In the Inu-Yasha comics, you can totally tell Inu-Yasha and Kagome have a "thing" for each other. But neither of them are brave enough to admit it. In the 5th graphic novel, there are two main parts where you can perfectly tell Inu-Yasha is really sweet and is partially expressing his feelings for Kagome. In the beginning of the book, Inu-Yasha turns human for the first time in the series. When he's been bit by the spider head demon, he lies partially unconscious because of the poison. Their only hope is to wait till morning when he'll change back to a half demon. Inu-Yasha asks Kagome why she was crying for him and then he asks if he can lay on her lap. While lying on Kagome, Inu-Yasha says she smells good and Kagome gets mad because before Inu-Yasha said he hated her scent. Inu-Yasha says he lied about hating it. The second main part is when Kagome tells Inu-Yasha to forget about Kikyo (Inu-Yasha is back to half demon on this part). She screams something like, "Does it bother you so much that I look like Kikyo? Do you hate me for it?" Inu-Yasha grabs her hand and leans closer to her. He says, "You have it wrong" in the sweetest voice ever. Kagome's heart is pounding. Then, stupidly, Kagome pushes Inu-Yasha away screaming, "What is wrong with you?!" (In my opinion, they were SO close to kissing in that scene!) All in all, so far that's the best Inu-Yasha comic. But I'm sure there'll be better once I get more graphic novels. I rate this book 5 stars and reccommend it to anyone who's read volumes 1-4 of the Inu-Yasha series. I loved the romantic parts (above)and their adventures are spectacular.

Five Stars!! Yayyyy!!.......2002-07-03

These books are really good. It can be enjoyed by both genders because of a female main character, some almost romance stuff (don't worry, it gets better!) then there's a male main character, lots of action and some gory stuff. There's also a lot of backround plots going on along that makes the whole story even more interesting. #5 is like this: Kagome and Inu-Yasha help Nazuna fight the Spider-Heads, and there is one kinda-romance scene with Kagome and Inu-Yasha. Then Kikyo's bones get stolen by an ogeress so Kaede, Inu-Yasha, and Kagome run off to get them back, resulting in lots of backround info on Kikyo and Inu-Yasha's relationship, that Kagome misses because her soul wasn't in her body. Confused? Then you'd better get the book! Just so you know, Kagome and Inu-Yasha's relationship doesn't improve much untill.....well, I don't know when the climax in the relationship is, because I'm up to #11 and Inu-Yasha's just seen Kagome naked like, 3 more times but he just pretends nothing happened. (How Frustrating!!!! NNNNNNNNNNHHHHH!)

more great reading.......2002-06-28

Although I still think it would be best to read at least the first book in this series before you try the later books, this is the first book that includes a brief "The Story Thus Far" section, plus a little about the characters involved in this volume. In this book, Inu-yasha, Kagome, and a girl named Nazuna have to deal with Spider-Head demons. Unfortunately, Inu-yasha's half-demon heritage gives him a secret weakness that could get them all killed. In the second half of the book, an ogress steals the bones of Kikyo, the priestess who fired the enchanted arrow that imprisoned Inu-yasha for so many years. The ogress wants to bring Kikyo back to life, but Kagome's existance interferes with that plan. Inu-yasha has to try to deal with the feelings he used to have for Kikyo. This book proves that the series isn't falling into a rut. Inu-yasha's secret is interesting and unexpected, and I enjoyed finding out more about Inu-yasha and Kikyo's past.

Book Description

The power of big business in the Third Reich economy remains one of the most important issues of that disastrous era. Drawing on prodigious research in German corporate and government archives, Peter Hayes argues that the IG Farben chemicals combine, Nazi Germany's largest corporation, proved unable to influence national policy outside the firm's sphere of expertise. Indeed, the most infamous aspects of Nazi policy occurred despite IG Farben's advocacy of alternative courses of action. Nonetheless, Farben grew rich under the Nazi regime and was directly involved in some of its greatest crimes. This edition has a new preface that incorporates new developments and research in the field.

Brilliant.......2003-01-10

The words of Peter Hayes contributed a new spin on the industrial contributions to the Germanic society. Corporations and volkism were thoroughly investigated. He offers new information on an old, but undying topic. It was awesome!

Hardly inconsequential.......2002-07-17

Dr. Hayes maintains that the directors of Farben were inconsequential to the Nazi plan of extermination--even though the company maintained an extensive operation of murderous slave labor at Auschwitz, and otherwise colluded with the Hitler regime. Since it has been made clear that the post-war Farben financially sponsored Hayes' research, I cannot see how this book and its conclusions can be taken seriously. I think the sponsorship seeps into the fabirc of the book itself. The conclusion about Farben directors which Hayes offers, referred to above, is just one example of this book's lack of credibility. Independent research would demand that any investigation of Farben's history be conducted free from financial contributions by the company itself. Hayes' book--and its slant--should be read with that in mind.

Big Disappointment.......2002-05-11

I expected more and was disappointed. Hayes could have made a real contribution by better documenting the crimes of corporate collusion. Hence, I'll stick with Crime and Punishment of IG Farben, which this book can't hold a candle to.

Shameful Volume by Peter Hayes.......2002-05-07

I first heard about this book from a friend whose opinion of this volume was not good. After reading it carefully, I must concur. I seems shameful that Peter Hayes should go out of his way to reinvent Farben directors and managers as just a pack of decent men caught up in the Nazi whirlwind while trying to help their company survive. Hayes' many conclusions are not supported by the documentation. Hayes should be ashamed of himself for authoring this book. I suggest right thinking people will agree.

Important and Ignored.......2002-04-02

Rarely examined and more rarely understood is how respective business leaders became effective accomplices in the Nazi regime. Peter Hayes' book, Industry and Ideology, provides a cogent explanation based on both extensive citations to research and on reasoned analysis and common sense. It should be required reading not only in University history departments, but also in business schools.

Book Description

Do you wish you could have more time for conversations with your children, especially on truth and life issues? Do you wish you could show them how to make responsible decisions? Do you want them to really know and love God? Do you think your children will learn it all in Catechism class? You'll never know unless you teach them yourself. Catholic parents will find comfort in this parenting book when they discover how easy it is to converse and work with their children. For those under five, the conversations are about love and discipline; for older children, the discussions are on faith and respect; and for teens, the focus is on decision-making and defending faith and life, while rejecting peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, sexual abuse, depression, violence, and much more. In short (sometimes five-minute) sessions, families, even dysfunctional ones, come together to be strongly pro-life and pro-Catholic. These seeds of goodness are planted in one-on-one talks or in "Family Fun Time" activities. The Bible says, "I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it." (1 Corinthians 3:10).

Speak to your children because the world does so every day........2007-05-21

Most Catholic Christian parents do not have a good track to run on when it comes to talking to their children. They try to talk to them like adults when they should be using other tracks at different times in life. Mary Lee Dey suggests and shows what should and can be done to increase the amount of Catholic Christian talk time to the point of success with your children. She gives you the "tools" that you need to make a Catholic Christian difference with your children. To not have read her book as a Catholic Christian parent would be a loss to both you and to your children. Catholicism is not a country club mentality, it is a real and vital daily relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that cause lives to change and be different in a holy manner for God. This book can help you have that vital diference with your children.

Great Photos.......2000-06-13

If you want to know what type of motorcycles the German military used and what the motorcycles and riders looked like, this is the book for you. Almost all the photos include a rider, many of which are action shots. The book also includes pictures of requisitioned machines, captured motorcycles, and some Allied motorcycles. Hinrichsen also discusses the overcoats made for the rider and passenger and the heating systems on the BMWs and Zündapps. I really enjoyed this book and the pictures are great. But if you are looking for technical detail, this is not the book, as it's mostly pictures and captions.
