Takahashi Downtime Again
As was the case a few weeks ago, Rumiko Takahashi will be missing two weeks of publication following the publication of chapter 37 on Feb. 3rd. Takahashi rarely (never) takes time off, so the cause of her absense is rather mysterious. No word on why she'll be out, but she will return on Feb. 24th. Source: The Rumic World

Third IY Ending Theme
After finding the track listing for the new CD, it has been revealed that there will be a third ending theme for Kanketsuhen entitled "Toi michi no saki de" by Ai Takekawa.

The full edition will be 4,410 yen, while the regular edition will be 3, 675 yen. Also the release of the Do As Infinity single for "Kimi ga inai mirai" is being released with four images (Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru and Kikyo) that when placed together make an image of the Shikon Jewel. The Sesshomaru and Kagome CDs contain a DVD as well. 1,890 yen for the DVD + CD combo, and 1,300 yen for the standard single. February 2nd will also see a similar release for alan's Inuyasha ending theme "Diamond" also with a DVD + CD combo. Source: Websunday.net

The figures will include Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Koga, Kagura, Naraku, Byakuya, Jaken, Rin and a mystery figure who appears to be Totosai.
