Inuyasha

nuYasha (犬夜叉^?), also known as InuYasha: Feudal Fairy Tale (戦国御伽草子 犬夜叉Sengoku Otogizōshi InuYasha^?), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated byRumiko Takahashi. It premiered in Weekly Shōnen Sunday on November 13, 1996 and concluded on June 18, 2008, and was collected into 56 tankōbon volumes. The series follows the half demon, InuYasha, and a 15-year-old girl from Tokyo, Kagome Higurashi, who is transported to the Sengoku period after falling into a well in her family shrine, where she meets InuYasha. When a monster from that era tries to take the magical Jewel of Four Souls embodied in Kagome, she accidentally shatters the Jewel into many pieces that are dispersed across Japan. InuYasha and Kagome start traveling to recover it before the powerful demon Naraku finds all the shards. InuYasha and Kagome gain several allies during their journey namely Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. In contrast to the typically comedic nature of many of Takahashi's previous work, InuYasha deals with darker subject matter, using the setting of the Sengoku period to easily display the violent content.
