Summary: if you like manga this is a must have
Comment: Like I said if you read manga you'll love this. It's about this lil dude named manta. He meets this new kid named Yoh but hes not your ordinary 13 year old. He's a shaman. (Some one who can interact with spirits) From the day Manta meets Yoh nothing will ever be the same. Shaman King is packed with action and humor. The art style is really cool too. The manga is also in Shonen Jump. It has spawned an anime series, toys, feature length movies (yet to be realeased here in the states, and even some video games due out later this year. Try it you'l like it.

Summary: The original is always best
Comment: I've been following the Shaman King manga for a few months in shonen jump, and it's really cool. So, when I heard about the anime on the dreaded Fox Box, I watched it. Soon after I felt like barfing. I just KNEW that this would happen!! First of all they put it on FOX BOX, probably thee worst anime network ever. Then they go and AMERICANIZE it. Why must they ruin all my favorite mangas?! And when I say americanize, this is what I mean:
Manta to Morty
Ren to Lenny
Ryu bad to Ryu good
no mantanian dictionary
Ren comes from England instead of China
And so much more...
I mean what goes threw the animaters heads when they make all these changes? Shaman King was a perfectly awesome manga, they did not need to change all these things. In fact, they just can't change them! They should get arrested!
Anyway, this review is about the MANGA!! It's a really interesting story about a kid named Yoh who is a shaman. And to be a good shaman he has to intergrate with many spirits and help them with their unfinished buisnness. But sometimes he uses the spirits to battle tough enemies or even other shamans. Because if he is proven the best shaman, he will become titled shaman king, the earth's savior.
it's a great manga, and the anime will never live up to it. So, read the books or get ahead and subscribe to Shonen Jump.

Summary: Shaman King of Manga!
Comment: Ok, so that's a bad title, but this manga really does rock! Following the life of Yoh Asakura on his quest to become the Shaman King, this manga is humourous, but also has its "deep" moments. Yoh is a laid back, lazy boy, who chanels spirits to do his work for hih in school, and whose philosophy is to just leave everything, and it will work out somehow. Anna is his "fiancee", and also a shaman, who can summon spirits. She handles Yoh's "training" (read: TORTURE... she's really tough). Manta is Yoh's friend, small and bookish. Amidamaru is Yoh's friend, as well. He's the ghost of a long dead smaurai who YOh calls on to win Shamanic battles.
This manga is constantly amusing, and very well drawn. Every character is unique in both looks and personality. (Besides, what's funnier than seeing a Chibi SD Samurai Warrior ghost???) This fist volume definately shows a lot of promise for a great story. ((Hopefully the anime will be released over here soon!!))
A definate buy.
