That, and it fit the overall tone of the series very well. Ranma and Akane just saying "I love you" and getting married wouldn't have been exactly appropriate, at least to me.

People forget the relationship was mainly for comedy purposes. >_>

The ending sounds good, but it should have happened a long time ago.

Like shortly after they beat that 5 man-army or whatever they were called.

Inuyasha v56 ch558 “Tomorrow” (Ashita)

3 Years Later

Sango has had her third child. We see the children sleeping with her and Miroku.

Three days after they defeated Naraku, and three days after the well disappeared; Inuyasha returned in a pillar of light.

All he said was:

“Kagome’s safe.”

Sango: “I guess she’s back in… that world that Inuyasha talks about, right?”
Miroku: “Inuyasha doesn’t talk about it much… but he did say that there are other people who love and need Kagome-sama.”
Sango: ” Inuyasha… I hope he’s not lonely”

The scene is of Inuyasha gazing at the night sky with a lonely expression.

The Present

It’s Kagome’s graduation.

Three days after the well in the future disappeared,
Me and Inuyasha came through in a pillar of light.

But then Inuyasha faded away.

Since then, the well hasn’t let me through once.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha returned to his world the moment he realised Kagome was safe.
But it seems that he’s been checking the well every three days.

Kagome, in front of the Well

Kagome is thinking.
And, she wishes to see Inuyasha.
We see the well set against the sky….

We see Inuyasha being picked on by some kids.

Inuyasha: !

We see Inuyasha running away from the kids in pure terror or perhaps just leaving them alone.

Inuyasha (presumed): Kagome’s scent…!?

He reaches inside the well, and Kagome’s voice comes from within.

“Inuyasha, I’m sorry…. Did you wait for me…?”

Inuyasha: “Kagome… You idiot… What took you so long.”

Present

“Hey, hey, Souta.”
“If we go to your place we can see your cute sister, right”
Souta “No, she’s not there.
“She left to get married when she left high school.”

(The next bit is Kagome.)

Bit by bit, lots of things have been changing in the three years I was away.

Shippou-chan wants to become a strong Kitsune youkai,
So he often leaves the village to train.

Sango-chan’s little brother, Kohaku…
He’s often leaving the village to train, too,
so he can become a strong taiji-ya and help people deal with youkai

And then Myouga-jiichan the flea…
Myouga: “I’m here!”

Kaede-baachan is teaching me all sorts of things,
And I’m helping with preparing medicines and exorcisms.

Rin-chan has been left in Kaede-baachan’s care and is living with her.

We see Kagome and Inuyasha talking, and then Sesshoumaru turns up

Kagome: “Onii-saan!” (She was calling him ‘older brother’. Like how Souta calls her ‘Older sister’ instead of her name. Usually she just calls Sesshoumaru Sesshoumaru, so it’s kind of cute that she’s using ’san’. The kanji were ‘giri’ + ‘ani’ = brother in law, but you still pronounce the same as normal brother.)

We see Sesshoumaru looking disgruntled… and Inuyasha looking disgruntled, too

(Kagome)

From now on, I’m sure things will keep changing.

I’ll live here.

Together with Inuyasha,

I’ll pass many days.

We see Inuyasha and Kagome set against a mountain, gazing into the distance.

Me and Inuyasha,

will make a future together.

Thank you very much for reading loyally for so long.
Please look forward to Takahashi Rumiko-sensei’s next work!

Inuyasha. End.

Shame she didn't go for the Inuyasha lives to the modern day ending I'd actually wanted to see, but then it's Takahashi we're talking about here.
Thus, a bizarre ending that has closure... but is rather unsatisfying.

It was a good enough end for the series. At least she wrapped everything up pretty much.

Y'know, if the series was 1/3 of it's length, that ending would've been much more satisfying. Good closure? In a Takahashi series? A rare treat.
