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 - the first was released on 18th April 1997, and the first 15 are now available. Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, as well as violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version.

Inuyasha: I thought this was unusually cruel, even to one of Naraku's offspring, but... ** I'm not sure quite sure what "hido-sugiru" is referring to here?
