Yoh Asakura isn’t afraid of ghosts. No, in fact, he calls them his friends!
See, Yoh is a shaman — meaning he can speak to ghosts and ghosts can possess his body if he allows it. By channeling ghosts, Yoh can assume their abilities and talents. For example, when channeling the ghost of famed samurai Amidamaru, Yoh is able to wield a sword with remarkable strength and skill.
Ultimately, Yoh hopes to become the fabled shaman king — the most powerful shaman alive. But, is he up to the task?
This is a super fun and spooky story! I’m definitely looking forward to reading more~

I have a really good feeling about this manga! The concept is pretty unique, art/drawing is great. And oooh! Really interesting characters, too!
Also, I think I've watched a few episodes (or maybe just the commercials) of the anime on Cartoon Network back then.

This wasn't bad, but it just didn't appeal to me as much as Death Note did. It was funny and fast-paced and had an interesting premise, but I found the art and story line much more simplistic and less interesting. I also thought the end was kind of lazy.
In any event, I've fulfilled my quota of manga I told my library patrons I'd read, so I'm going to return to my regularly-scheduled combination of historical fiction, nonfiction, and murder mysteries. :)

Tons of action and great graphics. However, I would have liked more character development. Other than Manta constantly yelling/whining, he felt pretty flat.
