I've Heard Of This Theory Before That's So Interesting - Tumblr Posts

Okay so I'm sure other people have brought this up, but you know how Kagome have square shaped bangs in the early manga?

Right! And everybody was like, 'woah, is that Kikyo!?'

Then we actually SEE Kikyo.

Very clear, square bangs.

But after a few chapters, Kagome's bangs become triangle.

People usually chalk this up to Rumiko having an inconsistent art style, and yes that could be a factor, my theory is more in story.

So after being compared to Kikyo all her time in the Feudal Era, and then actually meeting her, I think Kagome just decided to change her hair to stop the comments. Because even she acknowledges she doesn't look THAT much like her.

Compare and contrast, you know?

The anime doesn't have this change so when you first watch it, it's like "whaaat, she looks nothing like Kikyo" so that's why reading the manga is so spectacular!
