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!
Yoh and his friends finally arrive at the Patch village...which they soon learn is the resting place of the Great Spirit, the strongest of all spirits on the planet. All the shamans in the village must form teams of three to prepare for the Shaman Fight...and if Yoh and his friends can't find partners, they'll be out of the running before the battle truly begins!
