Inuyasha

Inuyasha is Rumiko Takahashi's beloved fantasy adventure anime — the isekai that predated the modern genre by decades and remains one of the most warmly remembered anime of its era. High school girl Kagome Higurashi falls through an ancient well and emerges in the Sengoku period of Japan, where she shatters the Shikon Jewel — a powerful artifact that draws demons — and teams up with the half-demon Inuyasha to collect its scattered fragments before the terrifying demon Naraku can use them for his own twisted purposes. The central romance between Kagome and the conflicted Inuyasha — torn between his love for the priestess Kikyo and his growing bond with Kagome — is one of anime's most emotionally engaging will-they-won't-they relationships. The Final Act completed the story with satisfying resolution. Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon continued the saga with the next generation. A beloved classic of the early 2000s anime boom.
