From IIChan Translation Group:
Yet another maid-tastic manga from Kaoru Mori, "Shirley" is an evocative glimpse into the daily life of winsome, 13-year-old Shirley, a maid in turn-of-the-century England. It is often compared to Yokahama Kaidashi Kikou, as both mangas feature languid pacing, atmospheric backgrounds, and a female main character who works in a cafe.
If you like YKK, have a weakness for "cute," and/or have a maid fetish, this is the manga for you. No hentai, no fanservice, zero, zip, nada. Just pure maid-tastic moemoe.

The youth is shown by the nearby villagers to be , a half-dog demon who had been sealed by way of a perishing Kikyo fifty years back after being seemingly betrayed by her and trying to take the Shikon Jewel (which allows any wish the bearer want) to be able to be a full demon. After his dad's sword Tetsusaiga is gained by Inuyasha and is subdued by a charming necklace to keep him in line, he helps Kagome in coping with all the hazards they cause and gathering the shards.
The two are joined in their own pursuit the somewhat revived Kikyo and from the young fox demon Shippo while coping with third parties groups like Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru, whose own version of what occurred years past brings the occasions into question. When joined a perverted monk whose bloodline is cursed, by Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha learn the truth: the first disagreement between Kikyo and Inuyasha, disclosed to initially be fans, was due to a devious half-demon named Naraku. The developing Naraku is disclosed to have been born from your spirit of an evil guy named Onigumo inhabiting a body made within a pact by innumerable devils and who additionally put the hex on the family of Miroku. Sango, a devil slayer whose family was killed when her younger brother Kohaku fell under Naraku's control shortly joins after Inuyasha's group. Over time, Tetsusaiga abilities are enhanced by Inuyasha as he competes with Naraku's minion avatars like Kagura as well as the reanimated Band of Seven. The team of Inuyasha is broadly allied by Sesshomaru, Kikyo, as well as Koga who desires to avenge his comrades while flirting with Kagome was named by a wolf demon.
While his heart is briefly removed by Naraku in the type of the Infant, who after tries to overthrow Naraku through his boat Moryomaru, Kohaku recovers his freewill and memories, as he tries to help out of remorse for indirectly killing his dad. With , matters settle throughout that time to empower his brother to its best capabilities to perfect Tetsusaiga. Eventually, Koga is made to stand on the sidelines, Kikyo posthumously uses the last of her capacity to give a second chance at life to Kohaku, and the Shikon Jewel is eventually reassembled by Naraku. The gem means to have so Naraku and she is going to be immobilized in battle for perpetuity, Kagome make a selfish wish. But for the Shikon Jewel, Kagome wishes with Inuyasha by her side to vanish. The actions, though, causes Kagome to go back together with the Well sealed to her time, inducing Inuyasha and her to lose contact for 3 years.
Because point, the Sengoku period changes dramatically: Miroku and Sango have three kids together; Kohaku restarts his journey to be a devil slayer that is powerful as his company with Kirara; and the seventh position is attained by Shippo as a fox demon.
