This week in Shaman King, we have a couple of big book releases. First up is Shaman King Print Omnibus 5 coming out in North America. Due to the ongoing printing & shipping issues with books nationwide, some retailers may not have this volume available on release date. Check with your local bookseller to find out when they will have it in stock! They may also receive less copies than normal, with more copies coming at a later date.
Next up is the brand new Shaman King Light Novel that releases digitally on Tuesday and then the print release on Wednesday. This is a brand new light novel that retells the story from the first 4 volumes of the Shaman King manga with some panels from the original manga. The book does not contain any new drawings, and this will be the first of at least 2 books in this new light novel series.
Also on Wednesday will be the print release of Shaman King volume 11 in Germany as part of their 2-in-1 volumes. A digital volume release is also likely around that date but it has not been announced. Be sure to watch our Twitter feed (@ShamanKingNews) for when that is released.
On Thursday the Shaman King Anna Q Posket Figures will be released in Japanese arcades. This will have 2 designs and will be having an international release at a later date.
For a new on-going event, the Shaman King Lottery Mate started on Monday this week. This is another new prize lottery, which is only available online. More details about this prize lottery will be included in our Product Announcement Round-up.
In the ongoing releases… The Shaman King: Faust8 manga continues with the start of chapter 5 this Saturday on Magazine Pocket.
