Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon — Viz
Issue: #4
While the trio continues marching westward, they run into a slimy beast that kidnaps princesses! Coming to their aid is Tokichiro Kinoshita, a cunning peasant who will one day become a historical legend, and he devises a clever—and embarrassing—plan to lure the monster out of hiding. Then, the girls battle the demon and witness the sorts of tricks that Inuyasha himself would pull off!
