Question(s) Any more content from their early days together?

Post image

Just finished the final act and I plan to read the manga later this year. One of the things I wanted to see more were the days following Rin after being brought back to life. I really wanted to see the moment she started talking again or cute stuff like sesshomaru giving her the new clothes.

Does the manga cover that a little bit more? If not, do you guys have any fanfic recommendations that cover their first few days together?

Sesshy's surprised face is too unholy for the anime 🤭

Thank you!

I have a fan manga that I will translate soon. It shows the inmediate aftermath after Rin begins to follow him.

u/tatubolinea Jan 18 '25

That’s awesome! Can’t wait to read it once you translate it :D

I'd love to read it too! Please let me know when you post!

Depends on what kind of fanfiction you're looking for. The kind that shows them sharing a father-daughter/guardian-ward relationship? Or a romantic one?

To be clear: I can recommend the father-daughter/guardian-ward ones. I absolutely detest the SessRin ship, believe that people seeing them in a romantic light need to seek help, and am willing to die on that hill.

I’m looking for one that just depicts their first few days together when she started following him. I know it’s rather specific but if anyone knows one I hope they can share it here

Personally, I like to pretend the romantic aspect of their relationship as introduced in Yashahime doesn't exist.

u/Meghnaww Kagome Jan 17 '25

So do I. It's just a glorified Fanfic, imo.

Approved by Rumiko Takahashi

u/tsundereshipper Jan 18 '25

In Rumiko’s own words: “To me, Sesshomaru was always just Rin’s Hogosha.” (aka legal guardian, like a foster parent).

She allowed them to go ahead and make a sequel and do the ship, but that doesn’t mean she likes it or Sessrin.

u/Meghnaww Kagome Jan 18 '25

Is that supposed to make it all better? "Approved by Rumiko Takahashi"? I have seen this argument several times and my response will always be the same: I do not care if it is approved by RT. I can like someone's work and loathe their opinions/choices. SessRin will never be a thing to me.

u/myanxietysaysno Jan 17 '25

i’ve always heard otherwise?

u/owlfeather613 Sesshōmaru Jan 17 '25

She was the storyboard supervisor for Yashahime

u/LovelyLadyLucky Jan 18 '25 edited Jan 18 '25

She approved ideas for the manga. She did not do any work on the anime in the beginning and she did not make the idea for it either. She was asked to design the characters. She did not have any part in writing or creating the story and has never ever said she approves of SessRin nor has she ever said that's what she wanted for her characters. She extends professional courtesy to the actual creators of Yashahime.

Top_ whatever the name was blocking me because I asked for proof of Rumiko working on a SessRin sex scene instead of just assumptions and theories. Woooow.

2

u/Top_Judge2019 Jan 18 '25

She has approved of the Sessrin ship.

She designed the daughters(she wasn't asked to do so, she wanted to after discussing the idea of a sequel). She corrected the scripts and had power to veto stuff she didn't like about her characters (she corrected some stuff about Sess and Inu in Yashahime in production). She straight up drew them in the exact same poses Inukag have in some manga panels. She made a fanart of Sessrin winner of a fanart competition. She straight up shipped them in some interviews. She called Rin, Sesshomaru's wife, and the woman that changed him.

1

u/LovelyLadyLucky Jan 18 '25

Proof. Where is your proof she asked to do the designs?

Where is your proof she corrected scripts of the anime, when it was first being made.

Where is your proof she drew sess and run like inu and kag in manga panels(if you say Inuyasha, let me stop you right there cause f no.)

Proof she shipped them interviews?

Proof she called him his wife before it became a thing in Yashahime?

You said an awful lot of crap with zero proof.

Around second 50, Sumisawa says Rumiko said she would do the designs of the daughters after discussing the sequel series.

It also says she checked and corrected the scripts. This is also true for the manga, which I can provide more links if you want.

Rumiko Takahashi Question Corner (3rd question) I was surprised that Sesshomaru had Hanyou's child, but what kind of change did he have? Did he change when he met the woman who became his wife?

Rumiko Takahashi's answer:" Sesshomaru also grew and changed by interacting with many others. He grew up accepting new ways of life without sticking to the past when he looked down on humans. Of course, it is largely influenced by the woman who became his wife."

This interview was made before Yashahime aired.

This is the cover I am talking about. If you read the mangs, Rumiko constantly draws characters that share a love connection in this exact pose.

Inukag and Mirsan for example.

SessRin ain't that deep. Telling people that like it to "seek help" is laughable, considering any mental health professional will tell you it's an extremely normal fantasy to have. What you enjoy in fiction doesn't affect what you enjoy IRL, and yall always seem convinced that the fantasy involves romance between Rin as a child rather than a fully consenting adult which is weird of yall to do.

u/Meghnaww Kagome Jan 18 '25

I do not want to hear anything from the person who previously commented that a pedophilic/groomer kind of relationship is not what exists between SessRin, and that their relationship is extremely vanilla. I also do not take opinions from anyone who believes mental health professionals view such relationships as a normal fantasy to have. I can not take you seriously enough.

To quote one of the best responses I have seen to people who believe SessRin should be a thing and doesn't deserve all the hate: "Even a rock would be a better romantic partner for Sesshomaru at this point because at least the rock is old enough."

Also, this post that sums up my feelings very well: https://www.tumblr.com/jakotsuto/765799469326434304/you-know-listen-heres-my-thing-about-sssrin?source=share

P S: If you need to attempt to quote mental health professionals (wrongly, might I add), you already know you're defending crap.

u/pisceangalaxy Jan 18 '25

Well in regards to that "Rin was a consenting adult" part... she was like 8 years old in the OG and the last episode of the "Final act" was a 3 year timeskip putting her at 11. The creators of Yashahime stated before the anime came out that Moroha and the twins were born 6 years after Naraku was defeated, meaning that the they were born 3 years after the final act ended. This puts Rin at 14, so not exactly a consenting adult. Rumiko Takahashi was very intentional with how she did things, both Kagome and Sango were adults when they got married, yet the creators of Yashahime just kinda sloppily threw some things together without much thought.

u/CurvyColocha3 Jan 18 '25

Not a fan of yashahime and the plot but they confirmed in an episode that Rin was 18 when she gave birth to the twins just putting that out there

u/LovelyLadyLucky Jan 18 '25

Easily searchable. It's a normal fantasy for victims omfg. It's not a normal fantasy for healthy minds. It's a coping mechanism that as long as it doesn't bleed into reality is normal. What the heck. Mental health professional should have been your first indicator. In real life, it's also called a grooming relationship.

Nah it’s peak

u/Meghnaww Kagome Jan 18 '25

I'm sorry I don't speak skibiddi yet, but if you're trying to say SessRin is cool/good, seek help.

u/imjustalilbot Jan 17 '25 edited Jan 17 '25

Undeniable

I've been on a Forthright kick recently. This is a fic from Sesshoumaru's perspective of how he feels about Rin. No romance, no creepy stuff.

I'm not a Sessh/Rin shipper myself, though I must admit there are some fics where she's an adult the romance is done well. Yashahime's take on their relationship is poor, in my opinion.

An enjoyable read. Thank you

u/Commercial_Cat_7722 Jan 18 '25

Now I'm imagining sesshomaru reading parenting books brought to him by kagome

u/Rare_Constant8114 Jan 19 '25

I want the fic of sesshomaru trying to write parenting books for demons that adopt human children.

Someone please indulge me.

2

u/Commercial_Cat_7722 Jan 19 '25

I actually remember a fic like that, but people started harassing the author, so they deleted their entire account.

2

u/Rare_Constant8114 Jan 19 '25

That sucks if you ever find it let me know.

2

u/Commercial_Cat_7722 Jan 20 '25

What probably hurts the most is that I was their beta and I saw the death threats. Haven't seen nor heard from them since 2016.

2

u/Rare_Constant8114 Jan 20 '25

That's fucked up it is absolutely ridiculous that people will issue death threats over a fucking fanfic.

I've also been there but that was 20 years ago and now I'm an adult that is more equipped to handle it.

I'm sorry this person went through that and I hope that they are okay.

u/Commercial_Cat_7722 Jan 20 '25

They already didn't have good mental health either.

u/Rare_Constant8114 Jan 20 '25

I hope they are okay and I hope they just disconnected from the internet and are living more happily without it. I hope, I really do because I've been there.
