☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final chapters of Rumiko Takahashi's epic feudal fairy tale, as InuYasha and Kagome face their ultimate confrontation with the demon Naraku. The story reaches its climax with the battle for the Shikon Jewel, bringing the long-running series to a close. This edition includes the conclusion of the manga's original run, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 1996 to 2008.
In "The Guardian of the Underworld," Naraku dispatches Kanna to eliminate Inuyasha before he uncovers the one source of purity hidden within the Shikon Jewel, a secret tied to Kikyo. Kanna conjures a mirror demon that absorbs and mimics every attack aimed at it, turning Inuyasha’s own strength against him. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Mari Morimoto, and Gerard Jones, with art and inks by Takahashi, this issue delivers a tense, high-stakes confrontation. The cover, penciled by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda and inked by Takahashi, captures the eerie intensity of the mirror demon’s presence.
In "The Guardian of the Underworld," Rin’s lifeless body is taken by a mysterious force from the depths, drawing Sesshomaru and Kohaku into a desperate pursuit through shadowed realms. With the offer of a return path to the living already made and refused, their journey into the underworld begins—leaving only the weight of choice and the unspoken bond between them to guide the way.
In "A Merciful Heart," Kagome and her companions stumble upon a village cloaked in blooming flowers, its quiet beauty hiding a mystery tied to a past long buried. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru’s mother, driven by a mother’s love, ventures into the underworld with her Meido Stone to reclaim the life essence of a child she once protected.
In "The Flower Prince," Inuyasha stumbles upon a quiet village where a mysterious being blooms from the earth, offering solace to the grieving in exchange for a hidden price. As he grapples with the strange, sorrowful beauty of the place, he finds himself drawn into a quiet mystery that tests the line between healing and sacrifice.
In the shadow of a forgotten shrine, Kanna’s mirror demon reflects more than just light—it mirrors every strike, every shadow, every secret. As Inuyasha races to uncover the truth behind the Shikon Jewel’s last pure fragment, he faces a foe that turns his strength against him, one reflection at a time.
In "Inuyasha's Demon Power," Inuyasha's struggle to master the Tetsusaiga reaches a breaking point when the sword awakens his darker side to face a mirror demon. As Naraku watches from the shadows, he sends Kanna to exploit the moment, using a dragon-scaled Tetsusaiga to target Inuyasha’s very aura.
