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...
haay, speaking new semester.. *_* patay...
haay, ....
