Inuyasha Vol. 46: An Ethical Dilemma

I love cute-looking demons, regardless of how violent or dangerous they are. Inuyasha volume 46, which was released Tuesday, has a herd of fearsome yet adorable demons who look like a cross between a porcupine, a peacock, and a dog. They're called Yama'arashi. They can throw their quills, which real porcupines can't. (That's just a rural legend.)

The rest of Inuyasha volume 46 is pretty intense and serious, though, and it raises a major ethical dilemma. Lady Kikyo, Kagome's reincarnated ancestor and rival for Inuyasha's affections, is near death. And Kagome is the only one who can save her.

Kagome is sorely tested. Does Kikyo hate Kagome, and is she sabotaging Kagome's relationship with Inuyasha? If Kagome saves Kikyo, will Inuyasha choose Kikyo and reject Kagome?

Complicating Kagome's moral dilemma, if she chooses not to save Kikyo, no one will ever know...

What do you think Kagome will do...?

And what would you do if you were really, really in love with someone and your rival hated you and you hated your rival...?

Fiscal Responsibility

When I was younger, I used to be something of a spendthrift (kind of like Rinne when he was a little kid, I suppose). I’d blow all my money going out on Friday nights or on weekends. I gave little thought to it at all. I don’t do that anymore fortunately, though I do have the urge sometimes. I still like to splurge (very occasionally) on a night out at a nice restaurant and someplace swank for drinks.

But watching people spend like there’s no tomorrow, especially if they’re doing it on credit, really chaps my hide. I don’t often find myself identifying with manga characters, but I can certainly agree with Rinne on this particular outlook on spending!

Read RIN-NE chapter 40 to see what I mean. What have you splurged on recently? And was it worth it?
