SHAMAN KING Omnibus 3
Synopsis
Yoh is a teenager living among shamans, people who talk with the dead and call on the power of legendary spirits to beat their enemies in body and soul. His ambition is to become the Shaman King, the one shaman able to speak with the Great Spirit and reshape the world for the better.
The only way there is the Shaman Fight, a series of battles against rival mediums. Each of them summons startling powers from the realm of the dead and wants the crown for themselves. The tournament takes place once every 500 years, so Yoh cannot wait until he feels ready. He has to grow up fast.
Anna stays at his side. She is his coach and his fiancée, and a powerful medium in her own right.
This is an action manga from Shonen Jump, and the third omnibus of the series. It collects volumes 7 to 9 of the original release in about 600 pages.
The edition carries a remastered translation, updated lettering and new cover art by creator Hiroyuki Takei. It returns to print more than 20 years after the first release. The material inspired the anime, with spirit duels as the main engine of the story.
