Amen!
I've been waiting for this for a while (not that the few chapters preceeding the original finale have been translated yet either). |

Holy crap I never thought I would see this news! My favorite Shonen Jump manga will get its true ending. As long as Viz gives me that ending my joy will continue!

...I thought Shaman King was dropped because it was no longer popular enough, in the style of Weekly Jump workings. Hrm, why would they do this?

The series is also supposed to be returning in Jump SQ. So is what's gonna run in SQ just the "true ending" to be included in the Kang Zeng Bang?

I wouldn't be surprised if Eiichiro Oda and Nobuhiro Watsuki had a role in this one since Hiroyuki Takei is friends with both of them. One can only imagine how many strings were pulled. But still this is very good news for Shaman king fans every where. When the US release catches up I wonder if Viz will release the true ending chapters? |

but by the sounds of it, it sounds like there will be only one more chapter to end it? will that be enough to end it the way it was intended to end, even if its a really long chapter? i kind of doubt it was that close to concluding when it was canceled or i think SJ would have given him a few more weeks to end it properly

or maybe its actually cheaper to print 27 volumes at a higher cost rather than reprinting 32 volumes and the fact that theres a real ending will motivate fans to re-buy or consider buying the series for the first time if they missed out also the fact that Shuiesha published volume 32 which they said would only happen if their was a high enough fan response
quoted from here(the same link provided on wiki about shaman king being published in jump square) http://www.mankin-trad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3156 it also mentioned it was returning in march so i guess the real ending will probably come before 2009 Last edited by zetsuie on Wed Feb 06, 2008 4:22 pm; edited 3 times in total |

If anything, the "last chapter" will probably be near 90 pages long, much like Buso Renkin's finale, Buso Renkin Period. That should be enough to do a final fight and some epilogue. |

Only one final chapter? Even if it is longer than the rest...
I swear I read somewhere that Takei was working on a full length tankobon worth of material to end the series (at least 200+ pages of material) |

Nothing official on either sites or their links actually says that Shaman King is returning in Jump Square. The only things that are coming out in March are the first two Perfect Edition volumes, so we shouldn't hold our breath on seeing the ending before next year. |

YES!
I'm so glad to hear this confirmed, since I don't exactly trust all of the random people who have been telling me about it on deviantART. Of course, it'll probably be even longer before I get to read it stateside (I gave up on scans and am just reading through the Viz releases as of now), but....real ending! w00t! And I thought there was going to be a 33rd concluding volume too....Still, I'll take any more SK goodness that I can get. :3 |

Well, that certainly is surprising news! I'd never expected to actually hear something like that, but I can't deny that I'm totally excited about it!
Ah, it's still aways off though, since we're only around 14 or so of the Viz releases, so hopefully it'll be out, available, Viz will get it too, and they'll have tacked it onto the end of the series. Yeah!

Too Little, Too Late. I loved reading this series. I bought every Japanese volume of this series until I read what happened in the last volume because I have a subscription to weekly shonen Jump.
I don't know what the author was thinking, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only fan to waste money and time on a big disappointment a couple years back. |

You are NOT the only one! I loved that series very much, and was just as dissapointed as everyone else! I am VERY glad to see this new printing happen, and I hope that it is picked up here in the US as well - although I dont think there will be much support for an oversized overpriced manga in the US, at least they can make a "special edition" for the final volume. |
