Takei launched a spinoff entitled Shaman King: The Super Star in 2017, but the series was put on hiatus in September 2021. Kodansha publishes both series in English.
The series follows protagonist Hana Asakura, who has grown up to be a lazy and brutal kid who skips classes, doesn’t care about grades, and gets into gang fights. However, his attitude changes when members of the Asakura branch family, Yohane and Luca, arrive to challenge and kill Hana and father Yoh to take their place as the main house.
