■ Rumiko Takahashi
I thought it was a joke, so it’s really going to be drawn? Thank you so much Shiina-sensei. What a magnificent adaptation. I am really looking forward seeing the Sesshoumaru drawn by Shiina-sensei and I’m waiting for his new works.
■ Takashi Shiina
I am Takashi Shiina, I heard about a project regarding Inuyasha and asked to be able to draw the manga adaptation. You don’t have to remember my name, so just go and buy it mistakenly thinking that it is drawn by Takahashi-sensei!

The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time!
In Feudal Japan, Half-Demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family.
Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a Demon Slayer working for Kohaku. But to Towa’s shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her older sister.
Joined by Moroha, the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome, the three young women travel between the two eras on an adventure to regain their missing past.
The second season of the anime series is set to air in Japan on 2nd October 2021.
