Inuyasha

The book I read was the manga series Inuyasha written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. Their is 56 volumes of Inuyasha or you could say 558 chapters. I read up to volume 14 and I have also watched the anime series of Inuyasha which I enjoyed. The story Inuyasha starts with Kagome Higurashi a 15 year old freshmen who lives at a a history filled Japanese shrine. She is also the reincarnation of Kikyo who guarded the sacred Shikon no Tama or Jewel Of The Four Souls, and who sealed away the half demon Inuyasha who tried to steal the jewel in order to become a full fledged demon. Kikyo 50 years ago died and had the jewels burned with her body. Kagome one day went to go look around her shrine and found a well, she was pulled into it and did not know what was going on. Kagome discovered she had went back in time into the Japan ancient times something Kagome also discovers is she has the jewels inside her body. Later when she explores the ancient times of Japan she accidentally frees Inuyasha. Kagome figured what was going on after Inuyasha explained to her. Inuyasha's main goal is to get all the jewels to become a full fledged demon. I think the theme of the book is to always have patience because you can't have certain things right away. Inuyasha and Kagome makes a group and the members in the group all have a deep background and they all want to get what they need back so they can be free.

In order for Inuyasha to become a full demon he must fight Naraku and his brother Sesshoumaru also he must collect all the jewels but that takes a lot of time Inuyasha and his group meet plenty of people that have been attacked by Naraku he a full demon that has almost every single jewel. Not only does Inuyasha and his group have to fight Naraku and his brother but he also has to fight other demons that try to attack him for the jewels. Inuyasha has a great group, Kagome can see the jewels through any object and has good archery skills while Inuyasha is a half demon that wields a sword called the Tetsusaiga that can kill over 100 demons at once.

I recommend this book to anyone that loves supernatural kind of books or action type of books. It has such an original story to it and great characters that will probably surprise you and do things that were unexpected. The author really adds so much detail into the story too and it makes you wanna keep on reading it.
