It's finally starting to show it's face as a battle-shounen. long drawn out fights. I bet after Yura is defeated there will be another enemy soon after. Not that I'm complaining. As long as it's well done I don't mind a lot of battles. This manga doesn't seem to be character focused. It kinda reminds me of Dragon Ball Z where they have to search for the dragon balls, but this time its the jewel shards.
also I like kagomes bravery. I'm so happy she's not a whiny wimp who relies on others to be saved.
