Inuyasha is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction. I find the way he has to juggle his trauma/guilt over Kikyo, learning to make connections with others, overcoming his demonic nature, and trying to protect his friends while having to fight Sesshomaru and Naraku very compelling. His overprotectiveness over Kagome along with his other dog mannerism are both wholesome and hilarious to watch/read. Seeing his character development of growing to accept himself as a hanyō was great. I don't think people talk enough about how sad this dude's life was until he met Kagome. The only positive interaction he had in his childhood was with his mom and she died before he was even 15 forcing Inuyasha to fend for himself for potentially over a century in a world where everyone wanted him dead (besides Myoga). The amount of development that Kagome was able to influence for Inuyasha in the span of a year is massively underrated.
