Kodansha publishing Shaman King was the result of Takei leaving Shueisha back in July 31, 2017. His exit also includes Shueisha's publication rights for the titles he made for the company. As of this writing, the new Shaman King series, Shaman King The Super Star is currently being published by Kodansha in Japan in their Shonen Magazine Edge since May, with a spin-off focusing on Jun Tao titled "Shaman King Gaiden: Red Crimson" coming next.
