Get ready, Shaman King fans! It was announced in the 20th anniversary website of Shaman King that the manga will be having a new arc to be released in Shonen Magazine Edge this spring.

So far no further information was released on the arc but the website will update in the future.

The Shaman King manga created by Hiroyuki Takei and was first published in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998 and ended in 2004. The 2009 reprinting of the manga however revealed the series’ “true ending”. Takei also released Shaman King 0 which is a series of short stories published in November 2011 while the sequel series Shaman King Flower was released from 2012 to 2014.

Viz Media was able to publish the manga previously in English and here is their synopsis on the Shaman King manga:

When he takes a shortcut through a cemetery, Manta Oyamada meets a strange kid with headphones — surrounded by ghosts. The kid is the teenage shaman Yoh Asakura. Tapping the supernatural swordfighting powers of samurai ghost Admidamaru, Yoh fights Bokuto no Ryu, a sword-wielding gang member. But an even more dangerous opponent is stalking Yoh and Manta — a Chinese shaman who wants to possess Amidamaru.
