Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho (Light Novel) Vol. 12

THE DEMON COMES HOME. In year 21 of the Heisei era (2009 AD), Jinya returns to his hometown Kadono, as the foretold arrival of the Demon God—his sister Suzune—draws nearer. To prepare for the fated confrontation, Jinya enrolls in the high school on the former grounds of the Itsukihime shrine, where he meets Himekawa Miyaka, the Itsukihime of the Heisei era. As he grapples with a strange, old‑yet‑new town and new danger at every turn, Jinya uncovers not only the night’s threats but the final secret of the Yatonomori Kaneomi blades. Motoo Nakanishi continues to blend kinetic action, dark fantasy, and coming‑of‑age humor across this 12th volume of Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentōshō. This 344‑page English‑language edition deepens the saga of a young demon hunter and the families bound by fate.
