InuYasha [Inu-Yasha] #56

In "Amassing For Battle," Naraku surrenders his soul to the Shikon Jewel in a desperate bid to avoid Kagome’s purification, setting off a chain of events that threatens to destroy Kaede’s village. As his colossal demonic form begins to collapse toward the settlement, the stakes reach a terrifying peak—only the story’s characters know what comes next. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Mari Morimoto, and Gerard Jones, with art and inks by Takahashi, and a cover by Takahashi and Yuki Ameda, this 2011 issue delivers a pivotal moment in the battle for the jewel’s fate.
