The chapters of the Japanese shōnen action-fantasy manga series Hoshin Engi were written and illustrated by Ryu Fujisaki, and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1996 to 2000. Shueisha collected the individual chapters in 23 tankōbon volumes, with the first released on November 1, 1996 and volume 23 released on December 22, 2000. Shueisha later re-released the series in 18 kanzenban volumes, with the first volume released on July 4, 2005 and volume 18 released on April 4, 2006. The series is based on the ancient Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi, and as such follows Chinese mythology and history, focusing on the last members of the Shang Dynasty and the plot to overthrow them.

Viz Media announced at Comic-Con 2006 that they had acquired the rights to translate Hoshin Engi into English and distribute it in North America. Viz released volume 1 on June 5, 2007, with volume 15 being the most recent one released, on October 6, 2009. The series has also been licensed in French by Glénat, in German by Egmont Manga & Anime, in Dutch by Glénat Benelux, and in Chinese in Taiwan by Tong Li Publishing.

Hoshin Engi has been adapted into a 26-episode anime television series titled Soul Hunter by the Japanese animation studio Studio Deen.

Hoshin Engi has also had several other adaptations, including a video game for the Game Boy Advance and WonderSwan, and several audio dramas released in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or chapters:

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    Never did I read such tosh. As for the first two chapters we will let them pass, but the 3rd 4th 5th 6th—merely the scratching of pimples on the body of the bootboy at Claridges.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
