List of Inuyasha volumes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chapters of the Inuyasha manga series were written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1996 to 2008. The 558 chapters were collected in 56 tankōbon volumes, released from April 18, 1997,[1] to February 18, 2009.[2] Shogakukan re-published the series in a 30-volume wide-ban edition, released from January 18, 2013,[3] to June 18, 2015.[4] Takahashi published a special epilogue chapter, titled "Since Then" (あれから, Are kara), in Weekly Shōnen Sunday on February 6, 2013, as part of the "Heroes Come Back" anthology, which comprised short stories by manga artists to raise funds for recovery of the areas afflicted by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[5] The chapter was later included in the last volume of the wide-ban edition of the manga in 2015,[6] and was published again in Shōnen Sunday S on October 24, 2020.[7][8]
In North America, Inuyasha has been licensed for English language release by Viz Media, initially titled as Inu-Yasha. They began publishing the manga in April 1997 in an American comic book format, each issue containing two or three chapters from the original manga, and the last issue was released in February 2003, which covered up until the original Japanese 14th volume.[9][10][11][12] Viz Media started publishing the series in a first trade-paperback edition, with 12 volumes published from July 6, 1998,[13] to October 6, 2002.[14] A second edition began with the 13th volume, released on April 9, 2003,[15] and the first 12 volumes, following this edition, were reprinted as well.[16][17] Up until the 37th volume, Viz Media published the series in left-to-right orientation,[18] and with the release of the 38th volume on July 14, 2009, they published the remaining volumes in "unflipped" right-to-left page layout.[18] Viz Media published the 56th and final volume of Inuyasha on January 11, 2011.[19]
In 2009, Viz Media began publishing the series in their 3-in-1 omnibus volume "VizBig" edition, with the original unflipped chapters. The 18 volumes were released from November 10, 2009, to February 11, 2014.[20][21] On December 15, 2020, Viz released the 18 volumes digitally.[22][23]
