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 Asakura, a young shaman, came to town to hone his gift and bridge the gap between our world and the spirit world…and now he's made a powerful ally in Amidamaru, the spirit of a samurai who died 600 years ago! But as soon as their pact is formed, a fearsome rival shaman challenges Yoh. He wants Amidamaru for his own…and there's nothing he won't do to get his hands on him!
