Description
From Kodansha:
Shamans possess mysterious powers that allow them to commune with gods, spirits, and even the dead.

Although he may just be starting out, Yoh’s dream is a big one: to become the Shaman King, the one and only shaman who may commune with the Great Spirit and help remake the world for the better.

But the road to this pinnacle of spiritual power runs through the Shaman Fight: a gauntlet of battles with rival mediums who call forth dizzying powers from the world of the dead in their own bids for the crown. It’d be nice if Yoh had a little more time to train and mature but the Shaman Fight is only held once every 500 years, so he’s going to have to grow up fast.

The serialization ended in 2002 after 32 volumes leaving the story unresolved. Shueisha then released the Kanzen-ban (full version) and Renka-ban (cheap version) versions with additional pages and side stories resolving the plot.
The epilogue Day after Maize was added to volume 35 in 2021.
Kodansha acquired the rights in 2017 and used the Kanketsu-ban edition in digital and print. Less...

[edit by mod: SPOILERS AHEAD!]
hi there.
i have to say, this is a fantastic manga, some of the best arts, history is superb and very well done like anyone other.
so why i give 0.
simply, the last 4 best and inevitable fights DO NOT EXISTE, the author simply don't made.
the final, is in a midle of the 4th final figth, i don't want to tell anything of the last chapter cause i dont want to tell how it ends, but at least you will cry, and will hate with all your be this author.
so if you want to se some of the best manga, read until the nunber 32, and imagine the last fights...(man imagine the figth yoh vs silver, the author simply dont made.)

its okay not bad i like to read it but not buy every volume .the guy yoh is not caring but is kind of cool.
But fails so hard and comes over as extremely arrogant. Granted, most shounen manga have that quality... But Shaman King doesnt have one likable character at all :\
At least, I didnt like em.
The artwork is also supposed to be stylish; but I'm not impressed with it. It's a pretty relaxed style, but together with the manga it all feels more slack-ish... Like the main character, he's so uncaring about everything that happens, that you dont even care about it yourself.
Myeh, its not horrible though. I can read it; but I'd rather not.
