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!
That night, a shooting star streaked across the sky, changing the world forever…for it marked the coming of the Shaman Fight, a tournament that occurs just once every 500 years. Whoever wins the Shaman Fight will be crowned king of all shamans. Still, Yoh seems as carefree as ever…until he meets Silva of the Patch Tribe, an officiant of the Shaman Fight, who's appeared to test Yoh's mettle…the hard way!
