On April 14th, Star Comics, the Italian publisher of “Shaman King” and “Butsu Zone” has announced plans to release “Shaman King: Perfect Edition” in Italy starting in November 2010. This is the Italian translated version of the Shaman King: Kang Zeng Bang editions that were released in Japan in 2008-2009. The Italian release contains everything the original Japanese print had, including the Oversoul covers.

The price for the volumes will be € 5.90, or about $7.99 USD. The original Japanese prints of the volumes were 952 yen, which is just over $10 USD.

It has not been announced at what rate the volumes will be released. The Japanese releases were two volumes a month, until completion. Additionally, it has not been said if this would include the fanbook “Mentalite” or not. However, Star Comics did release both the “Man.Ji.En” and the “Shaman King Fanbook” in Italy, so releasing the “Mentalite” as well, appears likely.

We will follow up on this story as more information is released.
