The September issue of Shonen Jump (Volume 8, issue 9), is a very unique issue for Hiroyuki Takei fans. In this issue there is both a chapter of Shaman King and Ultimo in the same issue. Shaman King chapter 258 “Extraordinary Days” is a special preview chapter for this one issue only. This chapter is the first chapter in volume 30, which is released on September 7th. There is an additional featire  as a recap of the Shaman Fight (written by Jason Thompson) included after the chapter. For online content, there is an additional article online for members of the Sub Club.

You can read a preview of the Shaman King chapter here. The entire chapter is included in the issue of Shonen Jump.

The Ultimo chapter this month was Chapter 15 “Battle at the Antique Shop.” Stan Lee’s spider references were very strong in this chapter. The only minor edit was the removal of Jealousy’s comment of “Shit!” which was replaced by “Grrr!”. There were no other edits in the chapter.

You can read a preview of the Ultimo chapter here. The full chapter was printed in the issue of Shonen Jump.
