The Webmaster feels like that the atmosphere of the Kyokai no RINNE (RIN-NE) series is similar to what Takahashi wanted to write but could not in the InuYasha series: the story where InuYasha and Kagome searched shards of the Shikon Jewel in the modern era. In early volumes of the InuYasha series, they act in modern and Sengoku eras because the shards are scattered in both eras. However, soon, the plot for the modern era was deleted from the whole storyline. It was probably because of the unpopularity. But since the Webmaster loves the modern era stories very much, the Webmaster is enjoying this new series.
