Rumiko Takahashi's epic in a large prestige format including bonus
color pages!
Kagome is an ordinary modern schoolgirl living an ordinary life. Who
would have thought the dried-up old well on the site of her family's
shrine would be a gateway to Japan's ancient past? Drawn through the
gate against her will, Kagome finds herself battling demons for control
of what she thought was a worthless trinket but is actually a powerful
magical gem, the Shikon Jewel! 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.
Inuyasha and friends lose a mortal enemy, but not before they receive a
shocking message. Then Inuyasha and Sesshomaru learn the story behind
their blades' awesome powers...one that is yet to be finished as the
truth pits brother against brother. Meanwhile, their arch-nemesis Naraku
strives to corrupt the spark of purity Kikyo managed to instill in the
Shikon Jewel. Things get briefly less serious when Shippo enters a fox
demon competition, and Kagome learns a piece of critical lore about the
Shikon Jewel--as well as the secret behind the incredible powers she
cannot access. But then Naraku takes on a particularly malevolent new
form!
