Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon is a TV anime produced by Sunrise as the official sequel carrying on the world of Rumiko Takahashi's manga InuYasha, with its first season, subtitled "Part 1," airing from October 3, 2020 to March 20, 2021 on the Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV network. The story centers on three half-demon girls carrying the blood of both demons and humans: Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha. Twin sisters Towa and Setsuna, daughters of Sesshomaru, are separated as young children when caught in a forest fire. Towa passes through a tunnel in the Tree of Ages, slipping through time from the Sengoku era to the present day, where she's raised as the daughter of Kagome's younger brother Sota Higurashi and grows into a martial-arts-skilled middle schooler. Meanwhile, Setsuna, left behind in the Sengoku era, makes her living as a demon slayer under Kohaku, the leader of a band of demon hunters. Alongside Moroha, the daughter of Kagome and InuYasha, the story of a new generation begins to unfold as Towa and Setsuna are reunited.
