InuYasha, Volume 10: Scars of Battle
The cast of Rumiko Takahasi's "feudal fairy tale" begins to discover both the  extent and the limits of their powers, as director Masashi Ikeda sets the  machinery for the ultimate battle into place. Sango recognizes that she will  betray her comrades, if she thinks it will restore the life of her brother Kohaku.  Miroku learns that the curse that afflicts his right hand may shorten his  life. Inu-Yasha discovers just how formidable a weapon theTetsusaiga, the  enchanted sword carved from one of his father's fangs, can be. The evil demon  Naraku is stunned to find that Kagome's arrows strike with the same deadly  force as her ancestor Kikyo's. But the characters don't yet fully comprehend the  source of their magical strengths and weaknesses, so they will have to grow  as they learn--and the story continues. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and  older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity)--Charles Solomon
