Yes. Inuyasha is over. I bet there are plenty of people out there that are still bummed over this. I'm somewhat over it already despite my mixed reaction to the ending.

But now that the series is over, I bet you all are wondering what's next for Freelance-Manga. I don't intend to ever scanlate again but I have not ruled out the unlikely possibility (click for details). This site or its forums will not be disappearing any time soon. I intend to renew the domain name for at least one or two more years.

As a community, there is still plenty to talk about. For Inuyasha, I'd imagine that there is still room for post-series analysis and examination of the series as a whole. The anime and manga boards have a life of their own (thanks Kaiten). I may also restart the campaign against Viz's flipping of the Inuyasha manga, so stay tuned.

As you may notice, I kept my promise that I'd crank up the quality for the final chapter. I still deeply regret not doing that months ago especially now after figuring out that it was relatively easy to learn how. At any rate, I'm not in the mood for an "end of series" speech at the moment but I'll write something either later today or tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the chapter.

By the way, I just realized that this is Freelance's 100th scanlation of Inuyasha. I can't believe I've wasted enjoyed so many Wednesdays scanlating… <_<

Also, I'd like to give a heads up on the somewhat NSFW joke page this week. Sure, it may seem a bit tasteless, but hey, this is Rumiko's art and far be it for me to censor it.
