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 Kagome looking worried, looking off at something.

I think this is because the last time Inuyasha did listen to Kagome, but this time he's lost his mind so completely that he's completely forgotten about his. In this state, 'sit' might not affect him, and may even make things worse... ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 8 1 [Closeup of Inuyasha suddenly realising something shocking.] fx Inuyasha urkk 2 [To Kagome's surprise, Inuyasha jumps up into the air.] fx Inuyasha fwip Kagome !? ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 9 1 [Inuyasha lands on the ground looking off at a figure in the distance, somewhat obscured by mist, but is Sesshoumaru.] fx Inuyasha fwip fx Sesshoumaru *walking over ground..* 2 [Kagome, Sango and Miroku look off on surprise.] group ! ------------------------------------------------------------ Page 10 1 [View of Sesshoumaru, who has a slight (ironic?) smile.] fx Sesshoumaru shh...
