Description
From Viz:
Yoh Asakura is a shaman--one of the gifted few who, thanks to training or natural talent, can channel spirits that most people can't even see. With the help of his fiancée, Anna, Yoh is in training for the ultimate shaman sports event: the "Shaman Fight in Tokyo," the once-every-500-years tournament to see who can shape humanity's future and become the Shaman King. But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize…
*Includes a side story called Diary of Exotica in vol. 27.

| what could've been... by shizoku on September 6th, 2009, 3:20pm |
|
When this manga finally got into its plot it seemed to have the potential to be a great manga. There were some good characters like Bokutou no Ryu and Hao whose mystery was always enticing. However, the further it got dragged out the more ends were left untied and the new ending was rushed and lax. Shaman King is a manga that talked but never delivered.

| worse and worse by mastertek on August 3rd, 2009, 5:52am |

the story gets worse and worse, character design is random as ever, protagonist now gets absolute power and confidence while his surrounding support characters get weaker and weaker, and battle ends even before i could realize what's happened. Most significantly, the creation of the character ChocoLove and its irrational events are a big fat flaws.

| a few things bugged me... by mangafan321 on June 14th, 2009, 1:23pm |
|
i know that Anna loves Yoh but she seems so willingly to place him in danger. she is willing to sacrifice him just so he can become shaman king, is the power more important to her, than Yoh's safety?? plus, i hate how all these murderers become nice people who love to joke around and have fun. it would be more believable to see someone try to change and make the effort. but the fact that someone can become a murderer and steal lives and then be happy and normal confuses me. plus, the tournament is ridiculous, why in the world would the "great spirit" want a murderer to use his powers?? the tournaments should be watched over more closely and anyone who takes a life should be disqualified...

Remember this. If you ever want a way to say "I'm done, forget my fans", put the main villain in a princess dress on the last page of a cliffhanger ending. They'll love it.

| my all time favorite by shanishan on December 30th, 2008, 2:00am |

This Manga is one of my all time favorite because all the characters are really interesting. each one is unique and the story is good. What really hooks me in this Manga is the relationship of Yoh and Anna and the value it always instill throughout the whole series: TRUST. I'm just glad that after 10yrs of its serialization Hiroyuki Takei decided atlast to give it 's true ending which of course, us fans, have been waiting for this past years.
I'm definitely giving it a 10. ^_^v whatever the outcome of its ending is.

| I liked it alot by bajuwa on November 30th, 2008, 4:55pm |

I thought this series was really well done and it was definitely one of the series that i enjoyed, but with the current ending my rating dropped down to 6.5 cause i hated it so much.
But now i have heard rumors (and some with citations) about there being at least one other volume to give it a "true" ending. When i heard that i bumped it up to 8, but the ending will have to meet up with my expectations in order to get its rating back up to my top 5.
Till then i patiently wait ^.^

| Honestly? by DragonAndLance on March 10th, 2008, 1:42am |

How do people not know of this awesome series? I consider it a much better Shounen than Naruto and Bleach. The story is very good, though I think that around the ending-ish it seemed.. Different, not as good. I absolutely loved the characters. Ryo was the best.. Though I hate how such a great and main(?) character became so weak and such..
