The first round of the Shaman Fight has concluded, and Yoh's Team Funbari Hot Springs have sailed through their initial battle. The odds-on favorite, Hao, makes his debut, living up to his reputation as the powerful, ruthless "Star Man." Yoh has an ancestral connection to Hao, but the shocking truth of their relationship is revealed -- They're literal halves of each other! Now a new brother-sister team, Ludsev and Seyram, enter the stage with their fearsome golem, and more light is shed on some familiar faces, including Yoh's father, Mikihisa. Can Yoh combat his family demons in his pursuit to become the Shaman King?
Hiroyuki Takei (武井宏之 Takei Hiroyuki) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime Shaman King. His brother, Hirofumi Takei (武井宏文) is also a manga-ka.
The stakes are getting higher. I can't believe I just complained about that. Team Ren is training to become stronger. But Hao is still full of surprises. Fights are happening even outside of the official tournament. The story is picking up. But it does end in a cliffhanger, not cool.
Shaman King: Omnibus Volume 6 packs Volumes 16–18, and the action is heating up! Yoh and his crew face tougher opponents as they continue the Shaman Fight, while Hao’s dark plans start to take shape. There’s a lot more drama and intense battles, with some cool character moments and surprises along the way.
What to Expect:
- Epic showdowns with strong new enemies
- More about Hao’s villainous plot
- Big character growth and emotional stakes
The 3-in-1 format is still awesome for those who want to dive deeper into the series without waiting for the next volume.
A fun, action-packed volume that raises the stakes and keeps things exciting!
This is about where things start to ramp up and the stuff about non-violence, reincarnation, neutrality, etc. starts to kick into high gear. The fights are especially on point in this volume.
Finally back to this manga! The omnibus editions are really good and I enjoyed this a lot! I loved Vol. 18!!! The story keeps getting better and better.
