Satisfy my curiosity...

You know, I never bothered to find out... how does the Inu Yasha manga end?

Can anyone give me a brief summary?

Kouga finally had his shards taken from him by Naraku in the manga two years ago. Inuyasha and Kagome manage to save his life, but having lost his Shikon-enhanced power he tells them that he would only be a burden to them in the quest to destroy Naraku. He gives Kagome a touching hug (http://adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.com/466/466pg09.html), dispenses tough love and rough affection to Inuyasha, and leaves the storyline for good. I kinda hoped he'd get a cameo in the final chapter last week, but alas.

His departure got overshadowed a bit because it occurred in the same chapter that introduced Sesshoumaru's long-lost and long-assumed-by-the-fandom-to-be dead mother (much squee ensued) which kicked off the big "Sesshoumaru going to Hell and Back to Rescue Rin and Emoting Muchly in the Process" arc that generated even higher pitches of squee (on both sides of the Pacific).

Possibly, I need chapter numbers for this arc. Know anywhere that kindly breaks these things down for us?

Sure! You can read the last two and half years or so of the manga here: http://adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.com/.

The Kouga Farewell/Sesshoumaru in Hell arc starts with chapter 466: Parting Thoughts (listed here: http://adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.com/archive.html). It runs through chapter 471: Compassionate Heart.

having lost his Shikon-enhanced power he tells them that he would only be a burden to them in the quest to destroy Naraku.

Yet not having super-powers never seemed to bother Sango, and she doesn't even have generic demon strength.

Though she had a lot more of a reason to chase Naraku than Kouga did, I suppose.

My impression is that Takahashi didn't know what to do with Kouga anymore so she disposed of him. :/
