Inuyasha (çŠ¬å¤œå ‰, lit. "Dog Yaksha"), also known as Inuyasha: A
Feudal Fairy Tale (Japanese: æˆ¦å›½å¾¡ä¼½è ‰å çŠ¬å¤œå ‰, Hepburn:
Sengoku OtogizÅ shi Inuyasha), is a Japanese manga series written and
illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. The series begins with Kagome
Higurashi, a 15-year-old school girl from modern-day Tokyo who is
parallelly transported to the Japanese era of Sengoku period after
falling into a well in her family shrine, where she meets the
half-demon, Inuyasha. When a demon from the era tries to take the
magical Shikon Jewel embodied in Kagome, she inadvertently shatters
the Jewel into many pieces that are scattered across Japan. Inuyasha
and Kagome set to recover the Jewel's fragments, and through their
quest they are joined by the monk Miroku, the demon slayer Sango, and
the kitsune Shippo. Together, they journey to restore the Shikon Jewel
before its full power falls into the hands of the evil Naraku.Inuyasha
was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly ShÅ nen Sunday from November
1996 to June 2008, with its chapters collected into 56 tankÅ bon
volumes by Shogakukan. In contrast to the typically comedic nature of
much of Takahashi's previous work, Inuyasha deals with a darker and
more serious subject matter, using the setting of the Sengoku period
to easily display the violent content while still retaining some
comedic elements.The manga was adapted into two anime television
series produced by Sunrise. The first was broadcast for 167 episodes
on Yomiuri TV from October 2000 to September 2004. The second series,
Inuyasha: The Final Act, ran for 26 episodes from October 2009 to
March 2010, covering the rest of the manga series. Four feature films
and an original video animation have also been released. Other
merchandise includes video games and a light novel. A spin-off anime
television series titled Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon premiered in
October 2020.Viz Media licensed the manga, the two anime series, and
movies for North America. Both Inuyasha and Inuyasha: The Final Act
aired in the United States on Adult Swim (and later on its revived
Toonami block) from 2002 until 2015.
