For those of you who don't know, my journal is named after the character Silva from the Shaman King Manga. Its the only manga/comic I really read in print form in fact (although the anime SUCKS).

The latest issue, 13, came out at the beginning of September and I got ahold of it a few weeks ago. Its decent, and one of my favorite characters in it, Faust, is back in full form. Faust VIII, Necromancer! :D Fear his skeletal army.

The reason I like the manga? Characters. The characters are interesting and varied. Yoh, the main character, is a general slacker who wants to win to have an easy life. Horohoro, one of his friends, is a crazed nature freak.

Wooden Sword Ryu is a ladies man. Ren is a bosses mean kid who has an actual heart!

Its a good manga, and I recommend it. 13 volumes out so far! :D
