Very good start. The first three volumes do a great job introducing each character, explaining the motives and the fight scenes are well design, clearly seeing what was meant to happen. I love Yoh and Anna, still lukewarm on Manta, Ryu is funny and Amidaru and Mosuke are cool.

Shaman King is my favorite manga of all time, so when Kodansha started publishing a new omnibus collection of the series I immediately determined to collect them all. I am not regretting that decision. Shamans from all over the world compete for the right to commune with the great spirit and shape the course of the world for centuries to come. It's the kind of story that just keeps getting better as it progresses, and you can see that in these first three volumes, in which the main characters are introduced and then grow in tremendous ways. And it has an Ainu character, Hororo: a snowboarder who wants to create a paradise for his koropokkur nature spirit ally and her kind to live in peacefully. He's my favorite.

This has always been a series I've Wanted to read since watching the anime as a kid!

One thing I'm not happy with is that they are omnibuses, really not a fan of them. Especially 3 volume omnibuses
