This chapter is an ode to Takahashi Rumiko, a true GOAT of manga. It’s a crying shame that the Viz adaptation is far below average, riddled with translation errors, censorship, awkward phrasing, and controversial adaption staff. That’s why I decided to redo this chapter myself. It took a long time, since I cross-referenced the anime dub and sub and manga constantly. On top of that, every SFX here is hand-drawn to match the original Japanese as closely as possible. I poured a lot of care into this, so I hope it does justice to her work. I don't know if I will continue. I may do one once in a while.

Cheers!

I was wondering why this was suddenly added. Yeah, a lot of stuff Viz translated in the 90s-00s feels like they were still trying to find their footing in translation. I hope one day they decide to do deluxe versions of their most popular titles with new translations and everything.

Thanks for the chapter!

Good luck my friend. Inuyasha was nice but it felt like a boring drag in the last few hundred chapters. Thanks for the TL.
