 In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hiroyuki Takei's Shaman King manga, a website has been launched to announce that the series will be resuming with a new story. Takei will pen the new chapters, which are to be published in Kodansha's Shounen Magazine Edge in Spring 2018.Takei drew his original Shaman King manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in Summer 1998. The series ran for a total of 288 chapters before ending in Summer 2004. A reprinted edition was published in Jump SQ. between 2008 and 2009 and featured the series' "true ending." Studio Xebec adapted the manga into a 64-episode TV anime, with direction by Seiji Mizushima in 2001. 4Kids Enterainment formerly held the anime's license in North America and produced the English dub. Viz Media licensed the manga and published the original series between 2003 and 2011. Source: Comic Natalie |

That news is old, he turned down it because they cant use the same voice actors and same music composers for the new series.

What kind of studio can still agree to the old cast? I understand his thoughts as a fan of the series, but this is impossible for objective reasons. |

Well, now I would like to see at least a sequel. Of course, many of those people who watched only anime would be surprised to learn that in the original manga Anna was pregnant all this time (in 13-15 years, yes), but it is worth it. |

| A re-made anime with the same cast and soundtrack? Lol talk about unrealistic. I guess he figures a new story is the best way to continue it. |
 |
| I like the original cast, so I would've prefer the old cast even though I know one of them passed away. But a new cast for a reboot is still ok though, but I still prefer keeping Yoh's VA. Wish there will be an adapation in the future though hardly unlikely....Guess I need to catch up on the manga. Glad there are new chapters which means more to read. |
 |
| Hmm... Previously Rurouni Kenshin is continuing but it is on hiatus now.. Now Shaman King is also continuing.. Please don't let it on hiatus right after continuing it... XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| So that's "big announcement" huh? Damn it, I thought it's another TV series! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Why more chapters? Even the sequel it already has was unnecessary... A new anime was the option for this manga but oh well. |
 |
| "Why more chapters? Even the sequel it already has was unnecessary... " A new manga was the best option for this author. |
| Takei is confusing. Why he doesn't go off and make another good series is beyond me. Swagernator said: Shame that the author turn down the offer for new anime series. Double shame. I know it's not that old but it could use a reboot HxH and FMA style. I'm sure it'd get hype with the right studio. |
 |
| looking how many rage around this series, glad i am not really found of it when it was aired back then in my country... might found reason to read it, but very unlikely... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |

Anime diverged from manga like halfway through with completely different story, so sequel was not even a possibility. |
| Looks like this series is among the ones that just can't rest in peace. |
| It has started today somehow https://natalie.mu/comic/news/265505 |
