Inuyasha Manga Chapter 476: "Teki wa Tessaiga"
(The Enemy is Tessaiga)

Higurashi's Preview

The mirror yokai being controlled by Kanna gets the InuYasha group cornered using Tessaiga! How does InuYasha fight?

Starks' Take

I'm curious to see what this "fake" Tessaiga can do considering that it this youkai is already breaking some of the rules. This demon shouldn't be able to wield a Tessaiga for more than a few seconds unless it was far stronger than Sesshoumaru (who has still yet to use the Tessaiga under his own power in the manga). The only non-humans that have canonically been able to wield or at least hold the Tessaiga are the Inu no Taishou, Inuyasha, Toutousai, and Naraku (he uses it to fight Sango very early in the series). If I am to believe that this sword is a "real" Tessaiga, it should have the same attacks and properties as one.

Starks' Double Take

As long as Kanna gets a panel, I'll be happy…

Inuyasha Manga Chapter 475: "Kagami"

Higurashi's Preview

Naraku who finally beat Kikyo, his sworn enemy, goes into action again! A person coming before the InuYasha group is surprisingly…

Starks' Take

It's Kanna… It just has to be. It's been far too long since we've last seen her. It's been at least a year if I am not mistaken… (Cookie for anyone who knows the chapter of her most recent appearance). As boring as she is, whenever Kanna shows up, interesting things happen. Maybe she's been taking time off with Kaguya-hime…

Starks' Double Take

Creepy Inuyasha fan #1: LOLI SENSES TINGLING…

Creepy Inuyasha fan #2: To commemorate the return of Naraku's lolilicious offspring… AN OFFERING TO LADY TAKAHASHI! A NEW KANNA AMV!

Starks: God, and I thought Rin's fans were bad…

Manga Chapter 474 kizutsuita kokoro (The Wounded Heart) 

The climax of the Kao arc!
Appearing in the opening of the magazine and containing full-color pages

Kao who eats human's broken hearts shows his true nature eventually. He assaults InuYasha's soul that has been wound by Kikyo's death. Is InuYasha deprived of his soul? And can Kagome save him? What become of the fierce battle? Don't miss it.

Starks' Take

I'll be really annoyed if a trivial character such as Kaou manages to stir up a long-lasting depression for Inuyasha or his group…

I hope to God that color pages look good…

(Also, since this is an issue with color pages, there is greater probability that there will be high-rez raws readily available that will be usable for scanlating. If this is the case, treat the first release as a normal (MQ) release and the second potential release as a treat (HQ).)

Starks' Double Take

These generic plotlines need to end!
