tbh i read this for some hurt and anger, cause i hated the anime after watching it for the first time (you know that feeling when you purposely read/watch series you hated, or is it just me, sorry). but this actually grew on me instead lol. now i know why most people say inuyasha manga version is MUCH better. their feelings (especially for the main casts ofc) are soooo much better expressed here, while the anime really did them dirty.
so many details deleted and or changed for love triangle shit and drama purposes. but the ones i remember the most are, in the anime they added scene where kagome said “you can do it without me, right? i don’t think i can do it anymore“ (it icks me cause while it’s completely understandable if kagome felt dejected, it kinda clash with her canon personality, that is always selfless) or when inuyasha said “i want them both” instead of the canon scene which he actually explained that he couldn’t forget kikyo due to guilt.
and they legit deleted their deeptalk scene where inuyasha asked kagome to stay by his side and when inuyasha told her that kagome is kagome, not anyone’s replacement. the studio really sticks to “inuyasha loves kikyo more and kagome is just a rebound” buIIshit.
this is not me saying he didn’t love her btw, we all know he DID love love kikyo but i don’t think it’s as deep as how the anime tried to portrait. they didn’t even trust and believe each other, they be keeping many secrets from each other lol. which both kikyo and inuyasha addressed this specifically that the very first person inuyasha comes to believe and feel safe to be around is kagome.
