[Remus]

Viz media recently announced that they will be creating a sequel to InuYasha! The title is going to be Yashahime: Princess Half Demon.

Here's the full press release from Viz...

"Kagome! Inuyasha! Sesshomaru! An entire generation of anime fans heard these names yelled out of TVs every week. Inuyasha is one of those rare legacy titles that ushered in a massive wave of viewers brand new to the world of anime. With its beautiful and fantastical world, forever bickering cast of lovable characters and thrilling battles, the series was destined to become a classic cherished by millions. But there is more of this world to be explored...

The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time!

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.



Now while the creator of InuYasha Rumiko Takhashi will not be writing the story, she will be working on the designs for the new characters!

This is very exciting because it's going to bring back hype for the fandom and more ideas for new rps!!!

Additional information has been given about all the future children

KAGOME AND INUYASHA'S DAUGHTER:

"A 14 year old bounty hunter. Each time she exterminates a ghost, she sells the booty to Shikabaneya Jyubei, who trades bounty heads. She uses the ghost sword Kurikaramaru, Her nickname is "Bakekoroshi (Ghost Killer) no Moroha." When she puts on her lipstick that is carried in a shell with a red pearl, she turns into the 'The Red Country-Destroying Demon' and acts very wild. Her personality is cheerful and open-hearted. She is more worldly than [Sesshomaru's daughters] Setsuna and Towa. She is actually the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome, but she hardly knows her parents because she has lived alone since she was young."


SESSHOMARU AND RIN(?)'S DAUGHTERS:

Towa is "a modern girl living in the Reiwa Era" who is 14 years old and apparently traveled to the modern world. While in our world, she was raised by Kagome's younger brother, Sota, meaning that this daughter of Sesshomaru is living a far different life from her father that barely experienced the modern world. At first glance, you may notice that Towa is wearing far more masculine clothes, but in her character description, it is noted that she does so in order to improve her fighting skill.

Towa's sister, Setsuna, looks far more like their father and has spent her life living in the world that he knew. Working as a "ghost exterminator", Setsuna wears the similar scarf and has a demeanor that is far more like their father in that she is "calm, collected, and not moved by events". Setsuna doesn't believe that Towa is in fact her sister and it seems as if there is a bit of mystery as to why they were separated and why they lived out their lives in two separate worlds.

All information was gathered from the show's official website which is in Japanese but fortunately translations can be found almost everywhere.
