Okay wait a minute, this is getting intense. And the kind of intense that makes me think it's ending soon? Which is funny bc I still have like 7 omnibus volumes to go.
Anyway yes. Intense, fast-paced, still funny and heartfelt. I love the whole lore and everything, I don't think I've mentioned it in my previous reviews yet. But the lore about demons and the Shikon jewel, the Black Pearl, the demon graveyard/otherworldly. Even the Tetsusaiga upgrading and collecting its own character arcs is so good lol. I think they all tie up nicely and they're just so interesting.
Also this volume also made me think about Kikyo's endgame here. I don't think I finished the anime completely but I do know she dies in the end. But like? This push and pull with Naraku, as well as with Kagome/Inuyasha, can feel particularly annoying and dragging in a way? Her character is nuanced, I appreciate that. But it's still hard to like her ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚
