If anybody been reading the latest chapters from Japan or you just read the latest one 552 you know that Naraku Finally for truly died No faking this time (He got pierced by Kagomes arrow it directly pierced the Shikon no tama and his body disparates Now I know this series has been really drawn out and the ending is kinda seeming towards the cliche I'm kinda glad and happy to see that its almost done anyones else thoughts or feelings on it ?

Are you serious? He died?! :O I stopped paying attention to Inuyasha long ago because I felt that it kept repeating itself over and over. Not that I mind if a show is repetitive- I do watch a lot of Shonen, after all. But Inuyasha seemed to want to insult my intelligence.
Now that it looks like it's going to end, maybe I'll buy the manga from Viz. Even if it is flipped.

To be honest I only started reading about the last 30 chapters ago or so but yea Seriously he died and he's having some kind of dying wish on the Shikon no tama not sure what it is but some kind of Blackhole dimension thing opened around Kagome at the end of the chapter
I also agree yea it was repetitive but if you get around it and skip about 200 chapters or so it was a pretty decent manga series. I'm kinda excited to see how it finally ends.

Well, nothing is certain, unless somebody else is brought in. IF Naraku is truly dead, then good riddance. We'll still have to read more into it just to be sure.

I'll always have a soft spot for Inu-Yasha since it was my real first anime/manga obsession. I've been reading the latest chapters for about two years now, and and I have to say that it'd better end soon. As much as I used to like it, Inu-yasha has become a case of, "Well, I've been reading the manga since I was 13, I might as well see how it ends" sort of thing. I think that Rumiko Takahashi is actually doing a pretty good job of wrapping up story arcs, but for me it's too late to care. That said, yay, Naraku's dead! And I like how Rumiko Takahashi clarified that he really just wanted Kikyo's heart after all, not power..... D'awww..

Over 10 years later the series is finally wrapping up... I hope. Naraku dieing is definitely true but of course there are still many loose ends to tie up and this chapter ended with a cliff hanger of sorts. I've kinda stubbornly stuck with Inuyasha for the past 8 years going back to it every once in a while but when the anime ended much like Ranma 1/2's anime did, I got a little worried. Ranma 1/2 never really had an ending to it in the anime or even after 38 volumes in the manga it just kinda left off very unsatisfactorily.
Rumiko Takahashi is great with her stories and her characters but she has been really bad the past few series' with dragging them out too long and really pathetic endings. I'm still holding my breath (somewhat) for Inuyasha, but not getting my hopes up. I wouldn't be very surprised, if by the end of all this, that the series reaches 60 volumes in total. Considering we're on 53 right now.

most series consider it to be a achievement to get to 200 chapters. although its really finished??? I every once in a wile look at the manga we have her in the stores but if it is really over then i have 2 words "good riddance." It was a good story and all but it was like a broken record, same thing over and over.

Never followed the manga myself, but I've been hearing that it's been "about to end" for more than a year now.
Naraku dead is almost too hard to believe!

Possible, but then again, the series has been played out in the U.S., and from what I hear in Japan too. Probably not worth it at this point.

Ahh, the wonderful world of Takahashi's drawn out stories. I'll admit, I was a total Ranma geek in the 90s. It was largely what got me into anime and manga in the first place. And as much as I adore Urusei Yatsura and still have a soft spot for Ranma, neither of them really ended, and they took many years deciding they weren't going to end. Once Inu Yasha started, I kind of had a feeling the cycle was about to repeat itself so I never really got into it.
Having said that, I still think that Maison Ikkoku is her best (long) story ever. It's only about half as long as UY or Ranma, and it actually does have an ending I found to be satisfying.

New Plot twist Naraku is dead for sure Miroku's wind tunnel curse is gone which proves it. You think everything would wrap up nicely but no. Naraku made a dying wish on the jewel and Kagome was sucked into a black portal tunnel. Inu-yasha's trying to get to her by one of his weird Sword abilities. Last page of the chapter shows Kagome with a clueless look on her face in present time in a high school uniform 3.????? 4.Profit.

Huh! Interesting stuff. If it does get wrapped up, it would be nice to see the animated version wrapped up in a movie, although with the last movie almost 4 years old at this point, that doesn't appear likely.
