#SEQUEL TO VIEWFINDER ANIME SERIES#

While both are still skilled at fighting, Setsuna seems to be slightly less confrontational here, and both she and Moroha immediately recognize Towa as the former's long-lost sister. Instead, the centipede demon emerges from the past without warning, putting a fine point on how powerful demons used to be. The manga seems to be following Towa much more closely than the anime did a significant part of the first few episodes was spent in the feudal era, following Moroha and Setsuna. While less time has been spent with the Higurashi family overall, they are given a bit more focus when they're around, and they actually mention and discuss Kagome and Inuyasha, something which was conspicuously absent from the anime. She also demonstrates that she's been putting her abilities to use in the modern world, exorcising spirits and encountering the occasional demon. Towa's unique half-demon hair and eye color are also commented on and seem to be a big part of what's drawing attention to her in the first place. Towa's shown to be a new transfer student to a Catholic school, like in the anime, but rather than having a bad reputation and getting in fights, she actually seems to be moderately popular, with many of the girls at the school fawning over her androgynous appearance. The manga's first chapter spends more time with protagonist Towa Higurashi in the present world and skips the epilogue chapter of Inuyasha characters that acted as the first episode of the anime.

Oftentimes in those situations, the manga deliberately takes a slightly different track from the existing anime, which is the case with Yashahime.

While many series are created as manga first and only adapted to anime later, it's not entirely uncommon for the reverse to happen. Related: Mao: Rumiko Takahashi's New Series Takes Inuyasha to the 20th Century

Takahashi herself could not take on the project, as she's currently busy with her other demon-slaying series, Mao.

Following the success of the first season, a manga adaptation by Takashi Shiina was announced, running in the monthly magazine Shonen Sunday S, with its first chapter releasing September 25, 2021. While Yashahime's characters were designed by Rumiko Takahashi, she did not actually do any writing for the anime, which was instead developed by the anime studio Sunrise, producers of the original Inuyasha anime. The series turned out to be successful enough that it was picked up for a second season, which begins airing in October 2021. Like many other series from that period, Inuyasha was revived with an anime sequel in October 2020, following the children of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Yashahime, the sequel series to Rumiko Takahashi's late 90's/early 2000's hit series Inuyasha, has launched its manga adaptation in Japan, with some significant differences from the anime version that came first.
