To most people, ghosts are the stuff of horror stories and nightmares. But to Yoh Asakura, a transfer student at Shinra Private Junior High, they're his friends! Yoh Asakura is a shaman—one of the gifted few who can speak to spirits. by channeling ghosts into his body—like the long-dead samurai Amidamaru—he can allow them to possess him and use their powers. But a modern-day shaman faces great responsibilities, because spirits—and the people who work with them—can be very dangerous indeed.
