Shaman King

Category: By bloodhound94


Shaman King is one of the best anime / manga series I've ever read, written by Hiroyuki Takei about Buddhist mythology. Everyone knows what Shamans are. For those of you who don't know, Shamans are those gifted people who have the ability to summon spirits from earth or heaven, and channel them into their bodies for various purposes like healing, performing rituals etc. Shamans of today are teachers, doctors etc., living like us in modern civilization. Also, every 500 years occurs a tournament, which will decide the Shaman king for that period. The main characters are:

Yoh Asakura


Yoh, is the hero of our story. A 13 year old boy, confident but lacks ambition, his principle is 'Everything will work out'.

Manta Oyamada:


Yoh's friend from school, short and studious; often seen carrying a copy of 'Mantanian Dictionary'

Anna Kyoyoma

Anna, the Itako, is Yoh's no-nonsense fiance, and will do anything to help Yoh become Shaman King, she prepares his training sessions, gives him punishments (like the electric chair for instance)

Amidamaru

Amidamaru, Yoh's spirit friend, is a 600 year old spirit. He was a samurai, and previously known as a "fiend" for murdering a large number of people with his sword 'Harusame', and is still greatly feared by everyone who heard his name. Yoh discovered the cause of his fearful reputation, a story of friendship, solves his problems and Amidamaru joins Yoh in his quest to become Shaman King. Some of Amidamaru's breath-taking techniques: Shockwave Buddha Giri, etc.

You won't regret watching this anime / reading the manga. Personally, I prefer the manga, and is definitely better than the anime..
