During his information panel at the event Anime Expo Lite, the company Viz Media revealed the western logo for the series Hanyou no Yashahime (known in English as Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon).
For its part, the series will premiere in Japan in the fall season this year. Inuyasha is a manga written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi that he published in the magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday from the publisher Shogakukan Between November 1996 and June 2008. The publisher compiled the work in a total of 56 volumes. Contrasting with the then-comedies published by Takahashi, this manga had a much darker atmosphere and a serious plot, based on the Sengoku period to favor the display of violent content, without completely leaving out the comedy.

Synopsis of Hanyo no Yashahime
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha’s daughters set off on an adventure that transcends time!
In Feudal Japan, the half-demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa finds a mysterious tunnel that transports her to modern Japan, where she is found and placed in the care of Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota and her family.
Ten years later, the tunnel connecting the two eras is reopened, allowing Towa to rejoin Setsuna, who has now become a Youkai Killer in conjunction with Kohaku. But the worst part is that Setsuna seems to have lost her memories and no longer recognizes Towa.
Now joining Moroha, Inuyasha’s daughter, and Kagome, the three of them will travel between two eras in an adventure to recover a forgotten past.
