Done expressly for non-profit use only. No unorthorised selling, renting etc. Get the latest version from http://www.wot-club.org.uk/Inuyasha/. Translations of this chapter, but with different styling/content are also available - a plain text version and also a text version with all the original Japanese for the speech and sound effects. Translation notes and style Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly recommend buying the tankoubon (collected version, each about 180 pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available (typically 3-4 months after the weekly Shonen Sunday release), and the first 15 volumes are now on sale. Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, and violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version. ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 1 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha looking angry, teeth gritted.
