Doggy
Basics
This is a Manga serie about a jewel that can destroy the world if it falls into the wrong hands.
So, first things first: Manga is the japanese comic. It's a style to draw pictures, a style I personally like but I dunno about you.
There are the books (german Version 56) and the films (dunno how much, but over 100 plus 5 longer movies). I started with watching the movies, recognized my mistake because the movies aren't really in the whole storyline of Inu Yasha. Then I moved on to the films, each one about 20 Minutes I guess. But my internet connection was so bad that I continued with the books, which are also faster to finish than the films :)
But it's your choice!
Characters
Inu Yasha - Half Dog Demon that falls in love with the Miko Kikyo, after they're divorced through Naraku they kill each other, he later helps Kagome to find the splitters of the Jewel of the 4 souls, his sword Tessaiga gets a lot of powers throughout the series
Kikyo - a Miko who guarded the Shikon no Tama and fell in love with Inu Yasha
Kagome - reincarnation of the Miko Kikyo, even looks like her, has some of her powers, she accidentally shatters the Jewel and than tries to find the splitter together with Inu Yasha, fights with bow
Naraku - in a way the archenemy of Inu Yasha and his friends, he's a half demon too and tries to collect the Jewel Splitters to become a full demon
Shikon no Tama - Jewel of the 4 Souls, has a bad and a good side, can full fill the wish of the owner
Shippo - little fox demon, helps Inu Yasha and Kagome throughout the series
Sango - a Demon hunters who helps too
Miroku - a monk, who is a bit of a womanizer but in true love with Sango, his Kasana, a hole in his hand, can "soak up" immense quantity of material
Kohaku - Sangos brother who killed their parents and friend because of Naraku, lives because of a splitter of the jewel
Sesshomaru - Inu Yasha's Brother, full Dog Demon, hates his brother, tries repeadetly to kill him, has a sword, Tenseiga, that brings the Dead back to life
Rin - little girl that was saved by Sesshoma
Jaken - a Kappa that travels with Sesshoma
Myoga - flea demon, intelligent but a coward
Totosai - maker of Tenseiga and Tessaiga
Story
Kagome is a normal girl that live in Japan in a Shinton Shrine.
One day she accidently falls into a well and finds herself in the Middle Ages. She meets Inu Yasha, a Half Demon, who is trapped to a tree by a sacred arrow. She releases him to save her life from a monster and, after a while and because they have to work together, they become friends.
The Demon, who has threatend her life is killed by Inu Yasha, but not before it frees the Shikon no Tama that was inside of Kagomes body.
In the following episodes Kagome accidently destroys the Jewel and it shatters into splitter. She gets the task to reunit the splitter of the Shikon no Tama because even one little piece of it can turn a simple demon into a life threathing Monster.
On this journey she meets a lot of different Demons, Monsters, Humans, gets new friends and new enemies, of which the worsest is Naraku, exactly the Naraku who divorced Kikyo and Inu Yasha in the first Place.
This half demon cares about nothing but the Jewel and would do everything to reunit it again.
The Fight begins!
(I can't tell the whole story of 56 books in one short post, but you're free to ask me questions :) )
Pro and Cons
You can decide if you want to watch the films (196 episodes) or read the books (56 books), but as you can see you'll be faster with the books. On the other side it is just amazing to watch all the fights and the emotional scences in full lenght as a film.
I must also admit that the whole Inu Yasha thing can be a bit addictive, but it's definitly worth it.
The movies are nice to watch, too, but they're not necessary for the actual storyline, in fact it can be a bit confusing because there are maybe some characters that appear later in the Series.
Funny and awesome Quotes
I read it in german so I can't come up with any quotes, I'm sorry.
I'll try to figure out how to find some and post them later!
