InuYasha: Volume 52

by Rumiko Takahashi, 186 pages

Kagome has learned that some force is blocking her own spiritual powers--and has been since she was born. If she wants to help defeat Naraku, she'll have to figure out who or what is squelching her power and break free of their control. And she may have found the responsible party. When he first confronts them, Magatsuhi appears to be another proxy of Naraku's, but he is something else all together and really wants that last shard of the Shikon jewel...the one that's keeping Sango's little brother Kohaku alive.

Ooooh, nice revelation (and vindication) for Sesshomaru, here. He can still shoot dry, sarcastic barbs at his brother, but with more confidence and less insecurity. It will be interesting to see how InuYasha, who displayed some surprising maturity by largely getting over his competition with his brother volumes ago, deals with the new lay of the fraternal land. Perhaps the two of them will finally be able to come to terms.
