While Viz Media will likely continue adapting Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha serial to manga form here in North America, future weekly installments of the fantasy series is coming an end in the Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine. The site confirmed that the next issue, which will be on sale June 18, will be its last for Takahashi. The author has been working on the anime for 11 years, producing more than 558 magazine installments and 54 volumes. A anime television adaptation of the serial---which ran from 2000 to 2004---has also been released by Viz.
That's her longest running series behind a Urusei Yatsura, which lasted eight years and Maison Ikkoku, which lasted seven years.
Plot Concept: The story centers on a time-traveling middle school student, a half-demon, a lecherous monk, a fox demon, a demon slayer, and a nekomata during the Sengoku period who seek to find all the fragments of the Jewel of Four Souls (Shikon no Tama) and to keep them out of the hands of evildoers, especially Naraku.
