The fifth volume of Rumiko Takahashi's latest dark fantasy manga series MAO is released in Japan today on August 18. 17 months after the author's previous series Kyoukai no Rinne/Rin-ne ended, MAO started serialization in the magazine in May 2019.

To promote the release, Weekly Shonen Sunday's official YouTube channel has started streaming a 20-second CM narrated by Sesshomaru (CV: Ken Narita), one of the popular characters from Takahashi's internationally successful series Inuyasha. 

Also, in commemoration of the release, a special campaign has been held at bookstores in Japan since August 14. Purchasers of any of the five volumes of MAO can also get an original "MAO x Inuyasha" collaboration sticker (four types) one per one volume.
