MAL originally.

While I love the series, I was never fond of Sesshomaru and Rin getting together, but the other problem is the series really didn't need a sequel. I know the writer likes this pairing, and I know a good portion of the fandom likes said pairing, but I was never able to get behind said pairing. Here's an essay which pretty much sums up the reason why I don't think the pairing is good narrative. , but one of the things which gets me is how the series this is a sequel for is shounen, aimed at young men who haven't yet reached adulthood while the sequel is apparently aimed at girls, not boys.

And - just reading the summary it reads like poorly written fanfic rather than a sequel, which is weird given the writer is supposidly involved. But then, if you think about it, the sequel is the writer's personal wish fulfillment, isn't it, if what I've heard regarding her opinion of the two are. And - yeah, that's a mess I won't go into, but honestly - I who wasn't thrilled with the ending decided to go my own direction for any fanfic I wrote because - well, why can't Kagome return to her own time, but these characters can do it?
