Rumiko Takahashi's epic in a large prestige format including bonus color pages! Kagome, an ordinary modern schoolgirl, is drawn through the gate of the dried-up old well on the site of her family's shrine against her will, finding herself in Japan's ancient past and battling demons for control of the powerful magical gem, the Shikon Jewel, which she thought was a worthless trinket. Together with an unlikely ally, the half-demon Inuyasha, Kagome begins a quest to recover the shards of the Shikon Jewel and learn more about her link to the past.
In both the past and the present, Kagome and Inuyasha face new enemies while on their search for the shards of the Shikon Jewel. As they grow closer, Kagome learns that Inuyasha harbors a carefully guarded secret. Then, an evil ogress plans to resurrect Kikyo. If Kikyo returns, will she seek vengeance against Inuyasha? And will Inuyasha be forced to choose between Kikyo and Kagome?
The story follows Kagome, a modern-day schoolgirl, who is unexpectedly transported through the well on her family's shrine to Japan's feudal era. There, she encounters Inuyasha, a half-demon who has been pinned to a tree for fifty years, and together they embark on a quest to recover the shattered shards of the powerful Shikon Jewel, which Kagome had accidentally shattered.
As they journey, Kagome and Inuyasha face a variety of foes, both human and demonic, who seek to possess the Shikon Jewel for their own nefarious purposes. Alongside their quest, Kagome learns more about Inuyasha's past and the tragic circumstances that led to his imprisonment, as well as his complex relationship with the priestess Kikyo, who was once his lover.
The story delves into themes of time, destiny, and the nature of good and evil, as Kagome and Inuyasha must navigate the challenges of their new partnership and the powerful forces that seek to control the Shikon Jewel. The series explores the growth and development of the characters as they face adversity and discover more about themselves and their connections to the past.
Rumiko Takahashi's masterful storytelling and character development have made Inuyasha a beloved and iconic anime and manga series. The epic scale of the narrative, combined with the rich historical setting and the complex relationships between the characters, make this a must-read for fans of the genre and those who appreciate well-crafted, character-driven narratives.
