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. 16-18 of the original release, featuring updated translation and lettering, back in print more than 20 years after its initial release!
The first round of the Shaman Fight has concluded, and Yoh’s Team Funbari Hot Springs have sailed through their initial battle. The odds-on favorite, Hao, makes his debut, living up to his reputation as the powerful, ruthless “Star Man.” Yoh has an ancestral connection to Hao, but the shocking truth of their relationship is revealed—They’re literal halves of each other! Now a new brother-sister team, Ludsev and Seyram, enter the stage with their fearsome golem, and more light is shed on some familiar faces, including Yoh’s father, Mikihisa. Can Yoh combat his family demons in his pursuit to become the Shaman King?
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.
