After volume 12, the first-edition A5 series was discontinued. The first-edition series of Viz trade paperbacks retained the same title and subtitle but reduced the page size to approximately ISO A5 dimensions (14.5x22.5 cm, or 5 5⁄ 8x8 7⁄ 8"). Eventually, this system was abandoned in favor of collected volumes in trade paperback format, using the same chapter divisions as the Japanese volumes. Initially, Viz released it in monthly American comic book format (page size 17x26cm, or 6 5⁄ 8×10 1⁄ 4") under the title "Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale", with each individual issue containing two or three chapters from the original manga. Viz Media licensed the series for an English translated release in North America. The 558 chapters have been collected into 56 bound volumes by Shogakukan, with the first volume released in May 1997 and the final one in February 2009. The manga series Inuyasha was written and illustrated by Rumiko Takahashi and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from November 13, 1996, to June 18, 2008.
