A bit later than expected, but it’s here now. Which I believe is Mankin-Trad’s first “2nd release!” You may be asking “Well, why couldn’t I download the first release!?” Well, you could have, if it was about 4 years ago. Now here’s the explanation:

Mankin-Trad started sometime in 2004 by a group of people. Kamisama, BadS, and Nux. Originally Mankin-Trad started off as a side site to The Great Spirit, which contained French scanlations of Shaman King. BadS and the rest of the Mankin-Trad team, of course, at that time made French manga scanlations. But! BadS, with his amazing powers of forward thinking, decided to scanlate Chapter 267 into English (mostly). That was back in 2004. Where was SK scanlations in English at that time? Around Volumes 13-14. Heck, I think that’s when Shaza joined Manga-Rain. It’s been so long ago, BadS doesn’t even have the original file anymore. As Kana wished, we removed all our French Scanlations of our Shaman King chapters. But, I as the always faithful, and seemed to be around since the beginning of time Shaman King Fan, I grabbed the chapter before it was removed. So about 152 manga chapters and 4 years, and here we are! BadS is still around, I’m here, and Shaman King Chapter 267 is released, again! Translation was by Alessa for this version, so there is some differences, but the “new” version has better English and better translations, so please click on the cover image in this news post to download or read the chapter online!

Man.Ji.En Part 2 still in the works (I’ve been saying this for a while now).
