Thread: Butsu Zone Scanlations (and Takei One-shots!)

So has anybody read this small pre-SK manga? Personally, I believe everybody who reads Shaman King, must read Takei's eariler work. The roots of Shaman King really came out of Butsu Zone. And it's more than just Anna. There are some very similar plotlines in the early Shaman King chapters. Heck, even Butsu Zone showed up in the Japanese Shaman King PS2 game. Plus there are Drama CDs that follow right along the manga, until you get to the 3rd one, which has an alternate ending.

Currently I am scanlating the rest of volume 2 and volume 3 for those die-hard Shaman King fans. When you run out of new SK chapters, never hurts to read some of the older ones!
