The end of Volume 31 is finally here! Counting down the days to March 4th yet!? If not, you should! I mean there is so much to look forward to! First, the Volume reprints in Japan begin with Volumes 1 and 2 (which will cover Volumes 1, 2, and 3, from the original count)! Then you got Volume 15 of Shaman King being released by Viz in the USA! Next up is Volumes 9 & 10 of the Shaman King manga in English being released in England (same as Viz release, I believe). And just to top it all off, Mankin-Trad is going to have a nice big blow-out celebration of releases all lined up for that day! At least 2 new Shaman King chapters, the final Funbari No Uta chapter, and some batch volume releases of old Mankin-Trad releases, plus more! Who knows what else I’ll pull out! But it’s going to be a big day. Lots of new stuff!

So, to build up to this great day, there won’t be another major update on Mankin-Trad until that day. Sorry. But, that doesn’t mean that I’ll be doing nothing. You should swing by our other site, Shaman King Nation. Why? Oh, I don’t know, maybe since we have updates over there too. Like reprint volume 2 cover, and other fun stuff. A new (and first) Editorial will be put up next week, plus all the news stories as soon as they come out of Japan.

Finally, we are testing out a new download server for chapter 275 right now. Please download the file once, and give a comment in this news post only on the following info:
– Your average download speed
– Time to download the file
– Your country you are downloading from
– How awesome Kami is for setting this up (Ok, this one is optional, but you know it’s true)

Thanks for visiting, and we’ll see you back on March 4th!
