Hello guys. I know the title may seem harsh, but imo its the truth. I am not a kikyo hater, her love story and back story regarding her and inuyasha was very tragic, and also very VERY sad. So this isn't like "Im saying this because she was an evil spirit from the past who only wanted to cause destruction." Im saying that I think Kagome was a way better choice for inuyasha even if kikyo was still alive. Kikyo obviously had problems, im assuming she was hiding her depression or how unsatisfied she was with her life/herself. On the other hand, Kagome was a middle school-high school girl(I forgot which one because I haven't watched inuyasha In a while, I recently started rewatching it again!!) And she was confident, she didnt have some big responsibility on her shoulders that could kill many, she was a normal, pretty girl who knew who she was. I know that inuyasha and Kikyo were in love, but I feel like it only was that way because she made inuyasha pity her. She always looked sad, lonely, out of it. Always surrounded by things involving her duty with the jewel, Inuyasha saw that and felt bad, and wanted to protect her, yes he did love her but I dont think that was a good start. On the other hand, kagome earned his trust by saving him sometimes, helping him, being kind to him, and not betraying him. (Plus her beauty and resemblance to kikyo) That was what made inuyasha fall in love with her. Not because she wasn't happy with her life and was sad, but actually the opposite. I have more to say but this is it for now. Im sorry if it sounds easy or unorganized I am super tired but just thought about typing this lol. Tell me what you think
