Shaman King Omnibus 1 (Vol. 1-3)
by Hiroyuki Takei
This brings me back to childhood with picking up this volume.
This is about a Shaman named Yoh. He is just a laid back dude who likes to chill and listen to music. He meets a ghost name Amidamaru and together they work together as ghost/human to help other spirits, fight bad guys, and so on. The idea of it all is simple but it's thanks to a large cast of characters including Yoh's future wife Anna, Tao Ren's little pyscho vegeta like ass, and Manta that we keep fresh characters coming on top of solid comedy.
This isn't mind blowing or anything. Shonen has come a long way now and we get much more complicated stories. However, we do get heart here. A lot of the characters get to really present who they are and how they want to help. And while the arc itself is simple and brimming with fun storylines it does remain a bit simple and not very high stakes for me. But because it is a easy breezy read I'll try volume 2 when it drops. For now it's solid fun-good time.
A 3 out of 5.
