I love shaman king!!

I've been waiting for the last installment of this chapter for like months now..
and finally I got a glimpse of it..
the finale...
(I suppose)

hehe...


I'm a huge fan of shounen mangas, especially D.gray man, fairytale and shaman king.
And lately I've been checking on SK (Shaman King) monthly for chapter updates.
It's geekish yeah I know (pardon the term) but hey, It must be an addiction!!

SK as I've said, is one of my favorite. The manga and the anime adaptation is quite different. So, if you've watched the anime and liked it, you may probably read the manga as well since it's way better than it.

Chapter updates of mangas are predicateble, especially for shounen mangas, Naruto and bleach have frequent updates, mostly weekly if not once in two weeks.(Maybe, it's what I see, since I read those updates too) But SK, is quite unpredictable,mostly once a month and If you get lucky twice a month or after a few days from the release. The reason?I'm not sure why but perhaps it's due to the translation problem. SK had been on hiatus for the last...??? 1 year?? haha I'm not really sure but ...the author FINALLY decided to finish this manga. FINALLY.

So daily (as in daily), I check for updates in this manga, perhaps thrice everytime I log on to my pc. In the morning, (explains why I'm up so early in the net) afternoon and in the evening (explains why I'm still at it, when it's late)

It must have been an addiction. No wait, it IS an addiction.

To prove my addiction, I'll tell you about stuff you may not know about SK:

*As a start, you may know  that SK's anime ended with Hao probably dying and even ate Yoh's soul to gain more power or perhaps a piece of his missing self, but actually none of that happened in the manga.

 *There's also a few chapters entitled, Osorezan revoir in the SK manga and it's mostly about Anna Kyoyama before and Yoh when they were about 10 y/o with Matamune, Hao's cat.  (It's really a nice story, especially If you want details about Anna's past)

*Another added chapter in Sk is Mappa Doujin and Relax.. (about Hao mostly)

*Remember the ainu boy, Horohoro? He has Kororo as his oversoul or spirit ghost whatever you call it but do you know that Kororo was once a girl who had feelings for Horohoro and she died in the mountains and became a Koro Pokkuru?! hehe.. well she is.. wanna know that? It's in chapter 288: Falling Damuko

* Lyserg obtained Hao's spirit of fire.. hehe.. poor Morphine..haha

*Shaman king ended with 285 chapters but Takei finally updated the new installements to the chapters and renamed the new installements: Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang

* Funbari no uta is continued in SK's final chapter, and you'll finally be able to connect it all. (fans probably know what I mean)

* In Funbari no uta, Tamao Tamamura adapted Anna's style, as Hana Asakura (yoh and anna's son) said that she was scary. (She pretended to be anna, some sort of like that) hehe...

* Hao and Yoh talk casually a couple of times: one was at a onsen, at a cafe and at the same room where they tried to sleep but couldn't cause Yoh was uneasy and Hao can't sleep since he had reishi and he can hear Yoh's thoughts.

* Hao thinks Anna is someone else and probably have some hidden powers, since he can't read her thoughts like he could to anyone else. They have a lot of things in common too , like having reishi. By the way, according to the manga, reishi is the ability to hear someone's thought. (sort of)

* Ren's adult form is so bishounen! hehe he's so cute! And he will have a son, that looks like him, hehe... kawaii!!

Okay, enough! It must be a boring stuff and there's more, way more!!! But I'm not telling it here,..it's tiering me..and you probably don't care, but I don't care as well... It's not boring me..hehe.. and it's my blog anyway...
So as I was saying, the final chapter of Sk has finally arrived, though it's not yet translated to english, I couldn't help but read it.? read it? read it?? haha, watch it?? read it??? 0_o

Onemanga's and Mangafox's latest release is chapter 295 of Kangzeng bang. But a few raw scans of volume 27 with the ending is already available. Just type it in google. But ofcourse, it's all raw, meaning it's not translated yet.hehe..

The pages also included aldut versions of each characters, fast forwarded from ages 14 to 22 hehe.. (i'm talking about yoh) ..aside from that there's also a "bonus manga" that I got somewhere, and i think it's probably from the final fan guide that Takei made. He named it Mentalite. It has a bonus manga where Hana's already a teenager, and Ren's son is a little older. I guess 6? hehe dunno. The hanagumi are also in the Funbari Onses and a few hints says, Tamao is actually the mother to Ren's son. Dunno really, it's all in Japanese and I can't read it!!  But it's hinted there... hehe.. and I might be wrong at the same time...hehe..and finally there's also this girl who looks like Anna, though it looks like she's rougher and it seems she comes from patch village from her outfit.. hehe..

So that's it! The long wait for this manga has almost ended, I'm just waiting for the english scans but it's quite the same...hehe I know the ending...(spoiler..hehe) All I can say is that it moved me to tears.. huhu..It's all filled with action but it's funny and tricky untill the end.

...and Hao?? ,,hehe .. no, he never died like that in the anime, that's too brutal!! He's too nice and just misunderstood to end that way. So Takei-sama made a better ending for him, you'll see..  **,



All in all, it was one great work Takei-sama! two thumbs up for that!!!
...if Sk will ever have another installment for Hana, surely I'll be looking forward to that!! hehe...
