It amuses me WAY too much to come into my cube in my, effective Monday morning to find an entire grocery bag filled, to the brim, with Inu-Yasha. Someone, I guess, was cleaning out their collection...
Addressed, taped up, and sitting next to my purse. If the bug does not keep me out of commission, I should manage to wend my weary way to a post office at some point. Maybe even this week. Cross fingers.
Rumiko Takahashi is the mistress of the UST {1} dragging out forever, with teeny incremental advances. Teeny. Itty-bitty. Just enough that you internalize that yes, she does plan to resolve it at some point. Probably.
{1: Unresolved Sexual Tension, if you didn't know. (It's a relatively new term for me.)}
Yes, yes she is. It's funny, I don't like the Ranma series at all, but Inu-Yasha hits my buttons in the right way. Maybe it's because of the strong female characters and the grimmer tone of the world.
And she's not done with it yet, is she, so we don't know that she won't resolve all that tension...
It's translated to English manga and I certainly want it. But I'd be willing to pass it on, when I'm done with them, too! Just to further the original goodness of the action. :-)
If you or Trip wanted them, I'd be happy to hand them over when I'm done.
Woot, sure! I have volumes 1-8, and would love to read further someday. And if you'd like to borrow some of the anime, I bet Trip would lend it to you.
(Me, I'm still looking forward to when you see all of Utena and react to it. :))

If you haven't seen it, I might be able to overcome my flakiness and get a copy to you -- we have a spare DVD.
