Hello! It’s a little later than planned, but not two days later! So that’s a plus! Let’s go on to the mash-up!

Kagome is a Japanese teenager. She is born with the Shikkon jewel and as such attracted the attention of some evil yokai who yank her back into the past to try to get the jewel. She meets InuYasha and adventure and hijinks ensue!

Here’s Nektara as Kagome. This is better than my InuYasha piece but it’s just a sailor fuku and I’ve done those before so it’s not very interesting. I’m still holding out hope that the other characters will give me something I’m really happy with.

That’s all for this week! Next Wednesday we’ll meet another character from feudal Japan. Who? Well you’ll have to come back and find out!

Hello! Friday could not get here fast enough! Now that it’s here, let’s get to the mash-ups…and as I post this, I realize that this isn’t a flashback, so this should have gone up on Wednesday! So yeah…late.

InuYasha is a manga by Rumiko Takahashi, creator of one of my favorite manga, Ranma 1/2. I think this one is her biggest successes. The basic synopsis is a teenage girl travels back in time to feudal Japan to help a young half-demon recover the shards of a jewel of great power. The girl and the half-demon are at odds but you can tell they like each other too. It’s very Takahashi, which for me is a good thing.

Here’s Todrick as the titular InuYasha. Not gonna lie, I almost gave up on this theme on the very first piece. I started with Todrick, switched to Sass and then came back to Todrick. It’s not great. I’m hoping the rest of the series goes much better.

That’s all for this week. Have a good weekend everybody!
