Shaman King Returns!

Posted by: Cybermario @ 12:15 am Share in Facebook

The highly popular Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei makes a return with a new manga! To be published in the Jump X (KAI) magazine on november 10. This new chapter has 44-pages, including full-color pages opening the story, plus a poster that im sure will be desired by many.


The new story will be a one shot manga, this will be an untold “Zero Story” focusing on the main character Yoh Asakura.
Seems that this new story will be the beginning of a major project of Shaman King, which could be revealed this next spring.


Shaman King Manga



We can only speculate, it is possible that it is a new manga or maybe a new anime that follows the manga story unlike the previous one? Whatever this new project is, im sure it will be great news for any Shaman King fans around the world.

FX: GON (he did hit his head)




G-Chan’s Family

They dont make much appareances but as secondary characters except for G-Chan Grandsons Kei Kizou (11) and Ai Kaizou (14) that end turning into delinquent kids result of traumatic experiences with G-Chan (something he dont realize and wonders why they end like that).

What could be...




G-Chan’s planned to revive her as a beautiful maiden in her ealy 20′s (she actually looks like the tv idol G-Chan likes) but there was an accident and the result was an old version of her with amazing heavy metal powers and one of the worst attitudes ever…
