“Naraku's Castle”

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.
