It's been 14 years since Hao reigned as the Shaman King and the fierce battle ended.
In Funbari Hill, the protagonist is Asakura Hana, the son of Hao's brother and the legendary warrior, Asakura Yoh. Hana, who has shamanic talents but cannot utilize them fully, is approached by mysterious members of the hidden Asakura family, Asakura Yohane (Johane) and Asakura Ruka (Luka). Their appearance sets the story of the next generation of shamans in motion.

The charm of this work lies in the personalities of the new characters and the growth of the characters from the previous work. The protagonist, Hana, as well as the members of the hidden Asakura family, Yohane and Ruka, and Alumi Niumbirch, who claims to be Hana's fiancée, are all intriguing new characters. In particular, Yohane's chuunibyou-like lines and style captivate the readers.

Hiroyuki Takei's character creation remains fantastic, and the story woven by both new and old characters makes it impossible to stop turning the pages. Additionally, seeing the grown-up forms of the characters from the previous work is an irresistible point for fans.

Unfortunately, this work ended with just 6 volumes, but even in that short time, it was enough to excite fans. Mr. Takei's character designs are all deeply impressive, enriching the story's world.

“Shaman King: Flowers” is a work that was deeply regretted for its sudden end at volume 6 (a sequel has been hinted at). Fans of the series must strongly wish to see more. Nevertheless, the story told in this short span can be considered a precious treasure for all fans who deeply love the world of Shaman King.
