Shaman King, Volume 1 — Hiroyuki Takei

To most people, ghosts are the stuff of horror stories and nightmares. But to Yoh Asakura, a transfer student at Shinra Private Junior High, they're his friends! Yoh Asakura is a shaman-one of the gifted few who can speak to spirits. By channeling ghosts into his body, like the long-dead samurai Amidamaru, he can allow them to possess him and use their powers. However, a modern-day shaman faces great responsibilities, because spirits-and the people who work with them-can be very dangerous indeed.
