Let me start out by saying that this is a thread for talking about the future ending of the Inuyasha manga (especially since the anime has ended anyway- in Japan at least). If you haven't read past the Viz publications, there will probably be spoilers. You can stay up to date with the Japanese weekly releases by reading the translations on either this website or this one.
Anyway, from the latter website is the following: "In chapter 400... there is a brief comment by Rumiko Takahashi, where she is happy on reaching the 400th chapter of the series. She also adds that there's still many more stories she has to write (before the series can finish) and that for now she's aiming for at least 500 chapters (in total)."
With 10 chapters per book and at least 100 chapters more to go, that means 10 more books to come out! 4 books are released per year, that means 2 and a half years to go! HOLY CRAP!!! I love Inuyasha, but jeez I thought for sure it would be over by this year. Not to mention, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I think the series is dragging. I feel like Takahashi has been stalling, what with all of the recent filler episodes (well, maybe they're not episodes, I don't know what you'd call them when they're in manga form). When the series began, things were so mysterious and she gave us interesting little tidbits in the plot every now and then, but now everything seems recycled, I don't even know what's going on in the plot. Anyway, just want to know what everyone else thinks.
