A re-read! Don't have the series myself anymore, so I was happy when Kodansha had the free volume 1 thingie and I could grab this one! It was a fun re-read, love meeting Yoh again and see all he can do, love his drive and how chill he is at the same time. I love how dedicated he is to being a shaman and how he goes far to help everyone, ghosts and humans. The ghosts are fab! Manta though, I suddenly remembered why I didn't read a lot of the series or stopped watching the anime. Gosh, he is so annoying. Ren is the same, but he got a nice butt-kicking from Yoh. Heehee.
Oh, and this one reminds me of the time I cosplayed (not too good, though people said otherwise) as Anna! That was so fun! I miss those times~

Quizás no me pareció un Cuatro redondo, pero como me gustó mucho más que otras lecturas recientes que he puntuado con Tres, redondeo para arriba :)

This is my first time reading manga so I'm not sure what makes a good manga or not... but I thought this shonen manga was nice! The art style was nice and I loved the pace of the first volume!

I'm honestly just reading it because of the art style... but yeah! Loved the intro to the characters and the trio's dynamic in the manga so far! :)

Can't wait to see what this adventures brings!

It's a long time since I've read this, but I remember liking Shaman King. Not the best manga but funny and interesting.

One of my favourite comics series ever

I grew up with a huge crush on Amidamaru, probably because of how dedicated he was to his friends. A girl needs that in life. But putting my romantic thoughts for an animated character (of a ghost, no less) aside, Shaman King is one of those amazing series that shows real facets to people. Hands down, a must read classic.
