☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues from the Inu-Yasha manga series, continuing the adventures of the half-demon Inu-Yasha and the time-traveling schoolgirl Kagome as they seek the shattered Shikon Jewel. In this installment, the group faces new threats from Naraku's machinations while dealing with the emotional fallout of Kikyo's return. Published by Viz, this edition is part of the English-language release of Rumiko Takahashi's classic feudal fantasy saga.
In Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale #12, titled "Naraku's Castle," the stakes rise as Kikyo's spirit is overtaken by the demon synthesis, leaving her unconscious and the battle's outcome uncertain. Inuyasha presses forward, knowing he may be consumed no matter who wins, while Naraku—using Lord Kagewaki’s body—awaits his final absorption. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Mari Morimoto, and Gerard Jones, with art by Takahashi and inks by Wayne Truman, this issue delivers a tense, pivotal moment in the series. The cover, a striking collaboration by Takahashi and Hidemi Sahara, captures the eerie stillness of the looming confrontation.
In "The Earth Boy," Kagome and Inuyasha venture into the countryside seeking herbs for Sango and Kirara, only to stumble upon an old woman and her son, shunned by the village for his deformity. Rumors swirl that he’s a monster, feeding on the intestines of the dead—but as the pair investigates, they’re drawn into a mystery far more complex than the villagers’ fear.
In "The Cave of Evil," Inuyasha and the gang track a demon terrorizing a village, while Kikyo is unexpectedly taken by a local lord to heal his mysterious illness—though the true nature of his affliction remains hidden, and the lord’s intentions are far from noble.
In the shadowed depths beneath a forgotten shrine, Inuyasha and Miroku stumble upon a brutal underground arena where demons fight to the death—victors consuming the essence of the fallen. Drawn by a chilling presence, Kikyo arrives, her resolve tested as the arena’s dark pulse echoes through the ancient stone.
In "Poison," Inuyasha faces a brutal choice as Kikyo’s spirit is consumed by the demon fusion, leaving her unconscious and vulnerable. With Naraku—now wearing Lord Kagewaki’s body—waiting to claim the victor, Inuyasha fights not just for survival, but for the fate of those still standing.
