Inuyasha, also known as Inuyasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. The series follows the half demon, Inuyasha, and a teenager from Tokyo, Kagome Higurashi, who is transported to the Sengoku period, where she meets him. When a monster from that era tries to take the magical Jewel of Four Souls embodied in Kagome, she accidentally splits the Jewel into various shards, which are dispersed across Japan. Inuyasha and Kagome start traveling to recover it, gaining allies and enemies throughout the journey. In contrast to the typically comedic nature of many of her previous works, Inuyasha deals with darker subject matter, using the setting of the Sengoku period to easily display the violent content.
