Kodansha USA Publishing Announces On Sale Date Changes to Shaman King & Spinoff Series
July 27, 2020 — New York, NY — In an effort to give Shaman King the production quality it deserves and its fans the best manga experience, Kodansha USA Publishing regrets to announce a delay in the digital release date. We sincerely apologize for this last-minute hold-up, as we are well aware how excited fans are for this release, but we also know fans will appreciate the final results.
Additionally, we will momentarily delay the planned digital August releases of spinoff series Shaman King: Zero, Shaman King Flowers, Shaman King: Super Star, and Shaman King: Red Crimson, so that fans can get the complete experience of Shaman King without fear of spoilers or narrative confusion.
New release dates for the main series and spinoffs will be announced shortly. And we want fans to know that these delays will not affect the release of the Shaman King print editions scheduled for 2021 and 2022.
Again, our apologies. We have been touched and delighted by the response to the announcement of the pending release of Shaman King and look forward to getting it into your hands soon.
