Kagome is an ordinary modern schoolgirl living an ordinary life. Who would have thought the dried-up old well on the site of her family's shrine would be a gateway to Japan's ancient past? Drawn through the gate against her will, Kagome finds herself battling demons for control of what she thought was a worthless trinket but is actually a powerful magical gem, the Shikon Jewel! Together with an unlikely ally, the half demon Inuyasha, Kagome begins a quest to recover the shards of the Shikon Jewe...
This was definitely a page turner for me! Antagonists are enjoyable, and there's some interesting developments. I'll say that I liked the way the anime filled out the fire horse youkai more. The manga version is less exciting there.
Inuyasha and Kagome are definitely having some challenges, but both trying to be considerate and supportive of the other, to the extent they can. Very interesting twist in the latter portion of the book, and I'm really excited for the next volume!!
