June 30th holds a special day for the Shaman King series. Back in 1998, this is the day the first chapter was published in Weekly Shonen Jump! So now the series is 23 years old! So speaking of the manga series, there is a bunch of manga related releases coming out this week!
For the international manga releases we have representation from Italy, Mexico, Spain, and France for the main Shaman King series all getting manga volumes this week. France also gets the start of their Shaman King: The Super Star releases as well with volume 1.
Sticking in the world of manga, there are 2 new chapters of side stories for the Shaman King manga coming out this week. First on Friday is Nakayosi magazine, which will have a new chapter of Shaman King: & a garden. Then on Sunday, a brand new side story for Shaman King will begin for “Shaman King: Faust8 – The Eternal Eliza” in manga form.
