InuYasha [Inu-Yasha] #31

In *InuYasha* #31, titled "Guards of the Gateway," the journey to Priestess Hijiri’s village becomes a deadly race against time as refugees flee Princess Abi’s blood-sucking bird demons—only to be ambushed by Hakudoshi, who thirsts for human blood to open a path to the land of the dead. Meanwhile, Abi herself arrives at the sanctuary, driven by a desperate need to use human life force to keep her mother alive. Written by Rumiko Takahashi, Mari Morimoto, and Gerard Jones, with art and inks by Takahashi herself, this issue pulses with tension and supernatural stakes, all rendered in the distinctive style of the series’ legendary creator. The cover, a striking collaboration between Takahashi and Yuki Ameda, captures the eerie intensity of the moment.
