The action manga bestseller returns, in 600-page editions featuring a remastered translation and new cover art by creator Hiroyuki Takei! Dive into the classic Shonen Jump adventure whose world of mystical spirits and bewitching battles inspired the classic anime.
This volume corresponds to Vol. 10-12 of the original release, featuring updated translation and lettering, back in print more than 20 years after its initial release!
The opening ceremonies are over and the first challenge of the Shaman Fight is assigned. The shamans are dropped off in North America with the mission to reach the Patch Village in just three months—with no directions or guidance! Alongside Yoh are allies, enemies, and spirits—all of whom have their own reasons for wanting to become the next Shaman King. Most notable is Hao, the enigmatic yet familiar self-professed “Future King.” Meanwhile, back in Izumo, a 1,000-year-old Asakura family secret threatens Yoh and the future of all humanity. Will Yoh choose the right path to become Shaman King and ensure a harmonious world?
After starting out as an assistant on the samurai manga Rurouni Kenshin, Hiroyuki Takei in 1998 created Shaman King, which would go on to become a smash hit Shonen Jump adventure with an anime adaptation broadcast on Fox. Its success led to three spinoff and sequel manga. His cited influences include Osamu Tezuka, Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal, and Mike Mignola's Hellboy.
