This announcement could possibly be a new anime, as mentioned in an earlier news post. In addition to the oneshot, there will also be a brand new color poster included with every issue of Jump Kai (most likely featuring Yoh).

The plot of this new oneshot was also included in this ad. The story will be centered around Yoh Asakura leaving his hometown of Izumo and heading to Tokyo for the first time, as well as helping the spirit of a dead child pass on. Last year, before restarting the Jumbor manga series in Ultra Jump, Takei drew two oneshots for Jumbor which continued the original Jyuki Ningen Jumbor plotline.

The news of this oneshot in Jump Kai has been very well received in Japan on Twitter. Today the tag #マンキン (#mankin) reached a Trending Topic phrase in Japan. “Mankin” is short for “Shaman King.” To see the list, check out here.

Huge thanks to Dit for translating all this news. Be sure to keep checking back on Shaman King Nation for continued coverage of the rebirth of the Shaman King series.

On Feburary 19th in Japan, the Ultra Jump magazine was released featuring Hiroyuki Takei’s latest series, “ユンボル-ＪＵＭＢＯＲ-”. It is also known as “ユンボル‐JUMBOR‐荒野の床暖房” or literally translated to “Jumbor – Heated Floor in the Wilderness.”  “荒野” can mean “wilderness” or “wasteland”, and “床暖房” translates to yukadanbō , or “floor heater.”

This second oneshot is a continuation of his other Jumbor oneshot, which was a sequel to “Jyuki Ningen Jumbor” that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump. Baru is featured on the cover, and the entire oneshot is 27 pages long. New chapters will begin in the July issue of Ultra Jump. The first Jumbor oneshot lists Hiroyuki Takei as the artist and Yuma Miue as the writer. However in this second oneshot, Hiroyuki Takei is listed as the creator, and Hiromasa Mikami is also credited in it’s creation.

In order to promote the series, a free small puzzle was included in all of the issues of Ultra Jump this month. There was also an envelope, which you could use to mail the puzzle to one of your friends. On the back of the puzzle is a small area where you can write a personalized message. The cover of the envelope features a line-art design of the cover of Ultra Jump.
