Video: Stan Lee + Shaman King's Creator = ???
This is a bit of old news, but I did a little digging and found a few videos that sheds some light on it. Back in April, I got an e-mail from Shonen Jump announcing a contest they were having. The winner got the first issue of Jump Square, which contains the debut chapter of Hiroyuki Takei (creator of Shaman King) and Stan Lee's collaboration manga Karakuridôji Ultimo. I quickly scoured the internet for information. I didn't get any luck then, but recently stumbled across some information in an unlikely place: Youtube. Videos after the jump.
This seems like it has huge potential. Yes, it's true "The Man" hasn't put out any good original work in ages (remember Striperella?), but I'm a very huge Shaman King fan and Takei's writing and art style always appealed to me. The cross of American and Japanese styles sounds very interesting as well. They mention the caption boxes in the first video and I can't help but wonder what else we might see that breaks typical manga (or even Americomic) conventions. Unfortunately, there still isn't any word on an American release date yet, but I'll keep you posted.
