Inu-Yasha (2003-2011) Manga Set Vols. 1-15

(W/A/CA) Rumiko TakahashiStart from the beginning with a re-release of one of Takahashi’s greatest manga, an otherworldly fairy tale of ancient Japan, from the creator of Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku. Kagome was always just a typical Japanese high school girl. Her grandfather is obsessed with ancient myths; her home is crammed with mystical talismans, but none of it ever seemed to matter until one amazing day. Through a trick of fate, Kagome’s destiny is linked to a doglike half-demon named Inu-Yasha, who remembers Kagome’s previous incarnation as the woman who killed him, and the same trick of fate has tied her destiny to the mysterious “Jewel of Four Souls,” which can fulfill the dreams of any person or monster. When the jewel is shattered into shards, they must work together to find the pieces before everyone’s worst nightmare comes true. Rating: T+
