[b:InuYasha: Turning Back Time|330744|InuYasha, Vol. 1 Turning Back Time (InuYasha, #1)|Rumiko Takahashi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1288648681l/330744._SY75_.jpg|2297814] is one of my all-time favorite mangas/animes so it should come as no surprise that I loved this! It's a similar premise, but feels like a mashup of Inuyasha and Takahashi-sensei's other series, [b:Rin-ne, Vol. 1|6661062|Rin-ne, Vol. 1|Rumiko Takahashi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348258304l/6661062._SY75_.jpg|6855830]. But so far I like the mystery and I like our characters. They don't quite have the charm of the Inuyasha characters, but I like them well enough. I look forward to more!

I like the plot of this and how quickly it's moving. I hope it won't be a million volumes long like Inuyasha!

Edit 2/11/22: I'm so intrigued with this mystery! What did Mao do?! And what's up with these other guys?? And
Spoileris Nanako's grandfather really Byouki?!!
