Shaman King Volume One: A Shaman in Tokyo

Art and Written by Hiroyuki Takei
Chapters 1 to 8
Price $5.96


Shaman king follows the adventures of Yoh, Manta and Amibamaru. Manta is just an everyday  high school kid that gets thrown into this world of shamans and ghosts, once he befriends Yoh. Yoh is also high school kid that just move to japan and he is Shaman.  Amibamaru is a legendary samurai, and he is a ghost.


=========================Spoilers============================


in the first few chapter we learn about Amibamaru’s past and the world of shamans. we also learn about Ryu and his gang. Ryu can also see ghost. one of the most interesting things about Ryu, is he wants to find a happy place.


the last few chapters we meet Ren, a crazy young shaman, that attacks Yoh to take Amibamru.. Ren believes ghosts are just tools to use, and Yoh believes they should be your friend. this leads to a pretty entertaining fight. we learn that more shamans are coming to Japan to fight for the title of Shaman King and this is the main plot of the story.


the art work in shaman king is awesome.  every time a shaman integration with a ghost, the picture is pretty badass. you can tell that Hiroyuki Takei just enjoys drawing Manta's reaction faces.
below is a few pictures of volume one and a link to where you can buy this volume,
