Synopsis

A massive tournament is about to shake Tokyo—the Shaman Fight, held every five hundred years, where shamans battle it out for the ultimate prize. Win it all, and you become the Shaman King, gaining the ability to contact and control the Great Spirit. With that kind of power, you can literally reshape the world however you want. One night, Manta Oyamada crosses paths with his classmate You Asakura during a late-night walk. You seems pretty laid-back and invites Manta to go stargazing with some friends. Sounds nice, right? Except those "friends" are ghosts hanging out in a local cemetery. Yeah. But here's the thing—Manta has a rare sixth sense that lets him actually see spirits. Most people can't, so You's impressed. When a local gang beats Manta up, You decides payback is due, especially since the gang leader smashed up the tomb of Amidamaru, an old samurai ghost. Together, they get their revenge. As Manta learns more about the spirit world, he discovers You's got some serious ambitions: he's planning to enter the Shaman Fight and win the whole thing.
