Summary: for those who wern't satisfied with the "DUB"
Review: Shaman king vol 1 was a great manga! I can't wait to get more!

It starts with a kid named morty who belives in ghosts. He went to a graveyard and met this kid named yoh who is a shaman and hangs out with ghosts since he dosen't have any friends. The next day at school morty sees that yoh was the same kid he met. So he rants that he hangs out with ghosts and everyone makes fun of him thinking he's crazey. later he finds out that yoh isisn't that bad and yoh meets his first "alive" friend.

And thats all I'm gonna tell ya.

So, if you hate 4 kids entertainment for ruining the show get this quickly cause it will save you!

Summary: Shaman King- More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
Review: Simply the best book I've ever read! I'm an otaku so you should understand, but it's a great book for anyone, especially for fans of the Shaman King anime TV series. It's portable and fun to read (I read all of my graphic novels way more than 1 time) and it's the FIRST of a very great series. I reccomend this over anything else. Two thumbs up:)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Story
Review: This is a good story, and I ready the manga in Shonen Jump every month. However, this series does not describe a true Shaman. A Shaman is a Native spirtual leader who uses animal spirit to heal. Search for shaman here and you'll find out more.

Summary: Shaman King is more than great, it's awesome!!!!!
Review: This manga is completely and totally awesome, dude!!!!! I have never actually read this graphic novel, but I've read the WHOLE series up to date in Shonen Jump, so I know that it rocks!!!
Let me get to the point. I won't give away the whole dang story, that ain't right, but I will giveya' a brief description.
Yoh Asakura is a modern day shaman that lives in Tokyo. He gets a ghost-partner, the ghost of a feared samurai named Amidamaru (the name is based on a Buddhist prayer "Namu-Amida-Butsu"). He must fight other shamans from around the world to become the "shaman king".
I am pretty sure that you won't see much ghost fighting in the first volume, but in the magazine Shonen Jump, they are WAY past the first volume (good reason to subscribe, get farther in the series faster)! I read alot of manga and this is deffinetly one of the best!!! I REALLY reccomend buying this book, buying Vol.2, subscribing to Shonen Jump, reading all this manga, and then buying more manga!!!!!! You can trust me!!!!!!!!!^^

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shaman King-Read This Manga now!
Review: This manga is practically one of the most addicting read! It might be only be based on Shaman King, but it's wonderful! I have read it over 6 times and I still often want to pick it back up and read it up.

The humor might sometimes be smothered by serious moments and sometimes sadness and anger/violence. This book is deffinately for mostly teens--or headed down that road.

It's way different than tha American shows on FoxBox or wherever you may watch it. They still use the japanese name, and the book isn't 'flipped'. By 'flipped', I mean read left to right. It's one of those mangas that are read right to left, otherwise, authentic manga.

Plus it has unique storylines that wasn't shown on the show itself. Much more action than the show looks--the manga is so much more.

So, if you take my advice seriously, you should go and get this manga from Amazon or buy it at your bookstore or check it out in your next issue of Shonen Jump!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Da FoxBox Sucks
Review: Ya know the commercial for Shaman King.
(From the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!- SHAMAN KING - COMING SOON TO FOXBOX)or(The Foxbox rocks!Great new shows like Sonic X Cubix, Funky Cops, and Shaman King)
When I saw the 1st one I thought cool, Shonen Jumps Shaman King.
The anime on Fox Box sucks. TALK A BOUT EDITED!
If you want die hard Shaman King
(Blood Swears, Drugs)
I suggest the manga.
It has Episodes 1,2,3 plus the stroy of a whitewasher ghost gone berzerk and a boxing spirit! And also Manta is a real bad-ass.
I mean he goes around yelling the D word, was that in the anime?
NO.
Just go ahead, buy it!
