The ninth tankoubon volume of the Iden Ehon Soushi – Hanyou no Yashahime (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) manga by Shiina Takashi has revealed that the manga will end with the release of the 10th volume in the summer of 2025. The manga’s ninth volume was released on May 16th, 2025.
The manga is an adaptation of the Hanyou no Yashahime (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) anime, which is a spinoff of Takahashi Rumiko’s Inuyasha (Sengoku Otogi Zoushi InuYasha) manga and TV series.
Takahashi (Ningyo no Mori, Ranma Nibun no Ichi, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku) serialised the original Inuyasha manga from 1996 to 2008 in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shounen Sunday magazine. Shogakukan published the manga’s first volume in April 1997 and the 56th and final volume in February 2009. Viz Media has released all of the manga in English across 18 big volumes labelled as VIZBIG editions.
The original Inuyasha manga was adapted into a TV anime, which ran from 2000 to 2004. The anime series has since inspired a sequel and four anime films, and in 2020, it received an anime spinoff titled Hanyou no Yashahime (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon), which ran for two seasons.
All 48 episodes of the Hanyou no Yashahime (Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) anime are available for streaming on Crunchyroll.

Manga author Shiina (Zettai Karen Children, GS Mikami Gokuraku Daisakusen!!) adapted the anime into a manga in September 2021 in Shogakukan’s Shounen Sunday S magazine, and Shogakukan published the manga’s first volume in January 2022.
Viz Media is releasing the manga in English under the name Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, and it released the sixth manga volume in print in January 2025. Viz Media also releases the manga chapters digitally, simultaneously as they premiere in Japan on the Viz Manga app.
The manga’s story is described by Viz Media below:
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.
