It takes some pretty big news for me to come out of hiding and certainly warrants it.

No, this isn't about the elusive "Black Tessaiga" which is still yet to have been scheduled a DVD release or even been camripped, this news revolves around something far more tangible.

The other day, I was elated to learn of the upcoming release of a new manga(?) volume titled "Inuyasha Special Edition Compilation: Inuyasha and Kagome" (Inuyasha Tokubetsu Henshuuban Inuyasha to Kagome 犬夜叉　特別編集版　犬夜叉とかごめ) that will be released on February 18th along with volume 56. It will cost 900 yen and the contents are still a mystery.

The running assumption (read as: unfounded fangirl desire) at the moment is that this release might serve as a more well-defined epilogue for the series that elaborates on what chapter 558 left us with. What is more likely though is that this publication will be like previous special releases, a compilation label of  previously released chapters involving the title subjects. In this case, it'll be Kagome and Inuyasha.

I will update this site as new information surfaces. Also, I am currently unsure if I will be able to scanlate this. I would certainly like to though.
