New volume – Inuyasha and Kagome

Filed under: Chapters, Random — Starks at 4:36 pm on Thursday, January 22, 2009

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.

I really REALLY hope it's an epilogue!!!!!!!!! Though it from the word "compilation", that makes me think it could just be an art book of Inuyasha and Kagome drawings. I WANT EPILOGUE!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SCANDALATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is exciting!  I hope that it's like a small epilogue because I would love to see some more I/K >_>  or more Inu period aha

 

Can't wait to hear more!!! 

 

As always,thanks Starks!  Smiley

omg! Can't wait for the epilogue. I hope that Rumiko will give there solution to the problem of Inuyasha living way longer than Kagome. Sad thought of Kagome getting older and died while Inu is still fine is somehow confusing for me. And I'm mad that she forgot about it in the last chapter. They won't last forever god dammit.

I doubt it will have anything we haven't seen yet.

But if it really is an "epilogue", as a Ranma and UY fan, I'd be really pissed. But I'd be happy for the more devoted IY fans.

This is wonderful news! I was missing my the habit of getting emails and checking this website all the time. It's nice to know that I'll be checking back again. Please Starks, keep us updated on this and anything new having to do with InuYasha and Takahashi's new stories. Oh and please try hard to get scans of this new volume.

Bring back the good work! Smiley

I'm hoping to get someone's input on this…

I found this video clip on YouTube.com today and I do not recognize the clip at all. It looks to be the same quality as the InuYasha movies, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. So maybe someone knows something I don't. Here is the link, click here.

Also, Starks might have already said something about this, I haven't seen anything at all on this "Black Tessaiga" anime short. Anybody caught up on this as well?

Lover, that clip you posted dates back to 2000. It was a trailer for the anime when it first started airing.

Wow, I did not recognize any of the footage from the clip. So was it just a promotion for the anime on t.v. in general or was it something special? And since you said it was posted in 2000, I take it that means it's old news. So where did that footage in the video come from? I've seen every episode made so far and I own all the movies, so I don't think I'm too crazy…but if you catch me being crazy here I'll give you props for calling me out. Smiley

Thanks for being a good sport about my questions!

Okay I'll bug you with one more question, if you don't mind…

What website would you recommend going to for the lastest and quickest updates on InuYasha information? I'm talking new episode releases, movies releases, and their dates both in the U.S. and around the world. Several of them that I have been to are either updated very slowly or give false information.

I would freak out, but my brain just exploded. We can have hope, but as stated, it's more than likely a compilation. I just hope Starks will have the chance to scanlate it.

Well it seems it has been a while since we had this much activity around here! I didn't have time to become a member but I just love this site! As for Inuyasha and Kagome well looks like our dear writer's masterpiece "has not ended". This is like the young and the restless! But I as well as all of you am a big fan so I can hardly wait!

Any news on this?  I found a picture of the cover at http://www.inu-yasha.org/blog. I am dying to see this!  I was very disappointed that inuyasha and kagomes relationship was left as it was.  Wasn't this supposed to be a love story?

Thanks!

Personally, I'd be happy if things stay just the way they are ending-wise.  I know this rankles some fans because they want a "spelled-out" ending, but thankfully, the Japanese haven't yet fallen prey to the Disney solutions to stories where the bad guy plummets from some high place, and the good guys have to get married, have kids, blah, blah, blah.  Much better for fans to imagine the varied endings they want.  Who knows, maybe Takahashi will come back to the story later to pick up Sesshomaru's story more.   In any case, I was just notified that my copy of this new book will be shipped this weekend.  I will write and see if they can tell me in a nutshell if it carries more of the story or is a recap/compilation thing.  I will let you know what I find out.

It's a compilation, no new material.

I talked to the shipper I ordered the book from, and they say the same thing: it's a compilation without new material.  Meh.  Just as well.  It's time for RT to move on to new, more fertile ground.  We fans can fill in all the fiddly bits the way we want to from here.  Still, I did order the book, and it has been shipped so I will have it in my hands soon.  We shall see what we shall see.

I too have just recieved my book.  It is a compilation of most of the pivotal scenes regarding InuYasha, Kikyou, and Kagome, variously.  The book is quite close to 2 inches thick and contains 894 pages.  Now and then, throughout the volume, there are pages that help to bridge when the story skips forward from segment to segment.  I read Japanese poorly so I can't say just what these one or two pages at a time have to say, but, I think what is most telling is that the LAST scene in the book is the one where InuYasha has just gotten his face slammed to the floor in Kagome's bedroom when her family came home.  He's standing in the doorway, face messed up, probably wondering what the hell he was thinking getting close to her like that.  He just ends up shoved away every time….There is NO new art at all. and precious little text other than what the manga pages bring with them.  This acts a lot like a chance to trick the fans out of a little more money at the last minute.  Oh well.  It's OK.  I bought the last couple of volumes at the same time so now my Japanese set is complete.  I can finally enjoy the art the way the artist intended.As for how the story ended, their future is unwritten because that's how Takahashi-sensei wanted to end it.  We may not like it that way, but then, life really is like that in so many ways.Me, I'm content.  I can write the fanfic ending I like for myself.  My best outlet for IY now is my art.  Look for me on Deviant Art under the name M. Skirvin!  I'm having an utter blast doing IY older, more mature, and so much more.  Thanks Starks!  Good luck on whatever you do from here, and if it involves InuYasha, I want to know!  You've certainly earned a huge Attaboy to service above and beyond, as do the scanners and translators.  My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of the people who helped bring IY to me and helped reawaken my art!  Can't stop drawing!

I am a fan of  Inuyasha's manga. That edition only came out in japan… It is going to be translated, and scanned to the internet or we will not be able to read it?
