Synopsis

Junior high whiz kid Manta Oyamada was taking a shortcut through the cemetery one night when he met a strange kid--Yoh Asakura, shaman who saved Manta from cemetery-desecrating gang members--but that was just the beginning. Because Yoh is not the only shaman in the world--and danger comes to visit them in the form of a Chinese shaman with ruthless ambitions.

About the Author:

Unconventional author/artist Hiroyuki Takei began his career by winning the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize (named after the famous artist of the same name). After working as an assistant to famed artist Nobuhiro Watsuki, Takei debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997 with Butsu Zone, an action series based on Buddhist mythology. His multicultural adventure manga Shaman King, which debuted in 1998, became a hit and was adapted into an anime TV series.
