Hi.
So, I'm slowly finishing Shaman King and I found this, Kanzenan Edition. SK has 285 chapters and, while looking for KE, I found chapters 265-300, while here it says it has 32 chapters. Is this like an alternative ending only or what? And what's with the number of chapters? I feel a little confused...

Edit:
Okay, found out the answer on my own.

Wow, I didn't expect I would see this topic again.
So: it's in "more info" of Shaman King (Kanzenban Edition). I don't remember the story in detail right now, but basically SK-KE has the ending to Shaman King (which has no ending of its own but is cut) and hence the chapters' numbers (instead of 1, 2, etc.). Then, the part of the story is rewritten (although I may be wrong on this one) and that's why there are chapters 265 and 266. Moreover, Kanzenban has 33 chapters in total (265, 266, 287-300 and like 17 more chapters to make 33. I think it has some extra stories, but I couldn't find them) so it's only the matter of counting chapters that is confusing.

In short, like changing anime titles to romanji which isn't even really a fucking language, it's one of the many stupid things on MAL that doesn't make sense

Still leaving it as 300 chapters / 27 volumes like when I first entered it as completed cause it's nonsense.

The original manga contained only 285 chapter, but it was not completed because it suddenly stopped by Wekkly Shonen Jump and ended in 2004 In 2008 shueisha decided to re-upload all volumes with the addition of a new ending The author wanted to add it in the original manga that was stopped by the magazine and in the ke version differed Chapter numbers unchanged in their content and the writer added 16 new chapters with the deletion of chapter 285, and continued between 2009 and 2011 and was collected in 27 volumes with a total of 300 chapters
