More of Hiroyui Takei’s Shaman King manga is on the way with the upcoming Shaman King Yard series, and the official account of the Shaman King 25th anniversary project confirmed that it will be the last arc. There’s no date in place for the new series just yet, but look jor the saga to come to a close when the followup to Shaman King The Super Star makes its way to print.

The Super Star recently ended, and Kodansha has the 10th and final volume lined up for a January 8, 2025 launch in Japan. It originally kicked off in May 2018, with Kodansha publishing the series in English digitally.

Shaman King has inspired a few anime adaptations over the years, starting with the original 2001 series. It returned to the screen in a new adaptation in April 2021, running for 52 episodes and streaming around the world via Netflix. The latest screen adaptation is Shaman King Flowers, which premiered in Japan in January 2024 with a Netflix stream following in April.

Here’s how Kodansha describes the series:

Shaman King Plot

Shamans possess mysterious powers that allow them to commune with gods, spirits, and even the dead…and Manta Oyamada’s about to learn all about them, because his class just welcomed a new transfer student: Yoh Asakura, a boy from way off in Izumo…and a shaman in training!
