SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP.
Naraku is finally dead. HE IS GONE. I will not miss that dramatic bitch AT ALL 🤣
Maybe the ending just felt a little too rushed for me? Not the final battle with Naraku, that actually felt drawn out. But more on the wrapping up of things—the well disappearing, Kagome returning to her world, the Inugang going on with their lives, Inuyasha living without Kagome and maybe realizing and admitting to himself his feelings for her? Like I wanted to see more of that. We spent so much time seeing all of these characters go through so much pain and tragedy and violence, that I just wanted to see more of them living their lives and finding their peace after all their battles and struggles. The ending was nice, but yep I wanted it longer 😅
(Also let me just say a few more things... I mean, Sango and Miroku being mostly still teenagers and having THREE kids already like damn 😠and then Kagome being only 19 and choosing to live back in time? I just think Inuyasha can wait more than three years, don't you think 😂 After all, he did admit in the final battle that he was born for Kagome. Now that was actually sweet.)
Anyway. What a journey it has been! I started this Inuyasha manga journey back in June on impulse. Now I've actually finished all of it 🥹 Maybe now it's time to watch the anime as a whole?? 🫣
