Shaman King Volume 2: Kung-Fu Master

Art and Written by Hiroyuki Takei
Chapter 9 to 17
Price $5.96

Volume 2 starts off where the first volume ended, yoh has won the fight against Ren and is now in the hospital. this is where we get a flashback of Yohs as a kid with his grandfather, his grandfather is also a Shaman and training Yoh. we get more world building and the four different types of Shaman. the four type are onmyoji, itako, miko ascetic monk ( if you want to know the difference please pick up the volume). we also learn why Yoh wants to become Shaman King, just so he can do nothing. then Yoh woke up.

we meet a new character. Anna  Yoh’s Fiancee. Anna is a Itako type of shaman. she tell the crew that more shaman are coming and they will be fighting for the title shaman king. during this time Anna trains Yoh but we did not see any of it.

Ren is piss about losing the fight to Yoh and taking it out on Ryu. here we meet another character from Ren’s family, his sister Tao Jun  and her zombie Lee Bailong. Tao Jun attacks Yoh and his friends, this is also a awesome fight, Yoh got his ass kicked and was push to his limits. Manta really was the hero of this volume because he show true courage and really grew as a character and pretty much saved Yoh. we learn how dark the shaman world is, Ren’s family kill strong warrior so shaman can use them there spirit and bodies.
