A milestone day for manga
For those of you who may not know, the Inuyasha manga ended on that day. 12 years after it began, 4 years after its anime ended, umpteen Naraku bodies, Inuyasha x Kikyo angsts, jewel shards, recycled Miroku perv gags, monsters of the week and other milkings later, Mrs. Takahashi killed off Naraku and gave Kagome and Inuyasha their happy, romantic ending. I'm glad she gave that to them.
Good thing for Rumiko, too. 2012 and the end of the world are only a couple of years away.
