One of the best episodes in Inuyasha, Season 4 on the iTunes Store is "Kirara Come Home," an homage to underappreciated pets everywhere. When Inuyasha's crew finds Kirara missing, each member thinks back to how he or she might have taken advantage of this remarkable two-tailed companion in some small way. (Well in at least one case, the insensitivity wasn't so minor.) Of course Kirara is not your average pet, but like a trusty friend, she is always there.

Watch this episode when you need to feel some warm fuzzies. Buy this dubbed episode, or the complete dubbed season on the iTunes Store. Watch the subtitled episode, numbered 97, on vizanime.com.

Are you basking in the glow of a happy Valentine's Day gone by or are you still picking yourself up off the floor? Or, did you conscientiously object to the event all together?

Whatever your take, there's a manga to support your stance. To help you out, members of our trusty Shojo Beat team offered up some reading recommendations.

From Pancha Diaz, Nana editor
High School Debut is very pro-Valentine's. It's about the sweetness of new love.

Nana is totally anti-Valentine's. It's all about how romantic relationships let you down, and how friends are the ones who are really there for you. (Nana vol. 1 to 7 are rated T+. Subsequent volumes of Nana are rated Mature.)

From Annette Roman, Sand Chronicles editor
Sand Chronicles is pro-Valentine's Day, yet realistic and sane. Grown women at VIZ Media can still relate to it! It's about really loving and being loved, not just crushing out on each other…

Compare your love life to Honey and Clover ... No matter how bad it seems, I bet it's not as complicated, convoluted, and unrequited!....
 

From Amy Mar, marketing coordinator
Anti Valentine's: Skip•Beat. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.  Kyoko will do anything for sweet revenge on the man who threw her away like a used tissue.

Valentine's: Ouran High School Host Club. Why limit yourself to one man when you can have a whole Host Club at your service?

From Amy Yu, Monkey High editor
Check out Monkey High vol. 3 if you want to read about Haruna and Macharu's crazy V-Day!

From Julie Behn, sales and marketing department
Love•Com vol. 2. Risa Koizumi is completely pro-Valentine's Day, but when she really wants to give chocolates to that annoying shrimp Atsushi Otani, who always teases her, ...she wishes she wasn't!

Otomen. Of course Asuka Masamune is pro-Valentine's Day! It's the perfect excuse to make lots of cute stuffed animals, bake cakes, and watch romantic movies!! And did he mention all the flowers!

Sand Chronicles vol. 4. Daigo Kitamura used to be a true romantic, but after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, there's no reason to pretend Valentine's Day is fun anymore. Put him on the anti-Valentine's Day list because if that love didn't last, how could anyone's?

From Lex Scheuble, online marketing manager
Ouran High School Host Club, because I'm so Haruhi. It's got the best of both worlds: you get that warm mushy feeling when you see people get together, but then you look at the actual host club characters themselves and how yes, they're sorta love dysfunctional, and I just want them to soooooo work... Oh...Shojo. I want my own host club.

I also like Crimson Hero for Valentine's Day. Volleyball and kimonos rock.

Sango and Kagome weren't the only ones crying when Naraku took Kohaku's shard in episode 20 "When the Jewel is Whole." (Can someone get me a tissue? Sniff.) Watch the episode to see how Kohaku fares. Kohaku is such a tragic figure, thinking he deserves to die because of something (albeit horrible) in his past that he just can't fix. When will he stop punishing himself?
