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!
The year is 1996, and Yoh Asakura, age ten, meets Anna Kyoyama for the first time. Anna has a gift: she can read others' minds…whether she wants to or not. And as she and Yoh make their first shrine visit of the new year, suddenly, her gift for reading minds unleashes a fierce oni from within her own heart. Yoh's going to need Matamune's help if he wants to save her…but it won't be easy!
