Hiroyuki Takei, Shaman King, and Ultimo News Source
On Monday 24th, 2008, the official Jump SQ website updated it’s preview page. By clicking on the following link, you can scroll down and view the image that will be the pin-up poster in the next Jump SQ issue and a small promo banner image lower on the page.

A translation of the title can be ”The Skilled Machine Boy Ultimo,” but this is hardly an official title. “Ki Ko Douji Ultimo” is another way of calling the Stan Lee X Hiroyuki Takei oneshot manga. For future reference, Shaman King Nation will refer to the manga as just “Ultimo.”
Based on the last image released and based on how the title is formed, it seems that this manga will have many parallels to Takei’s last manga series, “Jyuki Ningen Jumbor.” It appears that characters will fight with some type of modified hands. Either these people will be called “Ultimo” or possibly the main character is named “Ultimo.”
Ultimo will be released in the Japanese Jump SQ II on April 18th.

They’re really good. The volumes are larger than your usual manga. The paper they used is good quality stuff. There are color pages for some chapters. The character profiles are new and they’re in color. I took some pictures and wrote about it on my blog if you want to check it out. I think if you click on my name, it’ll take you there.
