Inuyasha - rumiko takahashi

Here is a classic Isekai - a subgenre involving the main character being transported to another world.  The manga originally ran from 1996-2008, and is now published in an Omnibus format (3 volumes in 1 book) from VIZ Media.  

In this series, Kagome, our protagonist, falls down a well at her family's shrine and finds herself in the Sengoku period of Japan.  An evil monster recognizes that Kagome carries the sacred Shikon Jewel inside her, and in the ensuing battle, Kagome inadvertently shatters the Jewel, and its pieces scatter all over Japan.  Kagome then meets the warrior InuYasha, and the two travel across the country searching for the pieces of the Jewel to recover it before the evil Naraku.
