About this eBook

Maka is a scythe meister, working to perfect one particular scythe until it is good enough to become Death's Weapon -- the weapon used by Shinigami-sama, the spirit of Death himself. As if that wasn't unusual enough, her scythe is a demon scythe called Soul Eater, which can change form from a scythe to a human-looking boy. In order to make Soul Eater powerful enough to be Death's Weapon, he must eat the souls of 99 humans and 1 witch. Along the way, the two of them face many different challenges, including a cat witch named Blair (who happens to have a thing for Soul) and a teacher who's been turned into a zombie (and wants him to join her!). Her fellow students, like the shadow ninja weapon meister named Black Star who always needs to be the center of attention, aren't much help, either. It'll be a miracle if Maka even survives, let alone manages to make Soul Eater into the Death Scythe.

Ratings and reviews

Soul Eater was the first anime I had every watched, (in 2009 when it came out) and it was awesome and I still love it to this day! I have ran into a few fans and they love it! Anybody who watches this and dislikes or gives it 1 or 2 stars is crazy! There is one thing though, the ending,(I won't spoil anything) and I bet a bunch of other fans agree with me, but it still is an awesome anime, GO WATCH IT! Also Lord Death and Excalibur are my FAVORITE!

You meet these people then those people then the other people. They're interesting, but not interactively so. But before long the story, characters and world-building come together and take off! The art is always interesting with comedic elements, some of which are later important to the plot! I love that sly sleight of hand. His next world-building series has started and the title has something to do with flames... I forget the title but not the content, which is good enough to set your Soul on Fire. Heh.

I watch the anime and manga it's so cool but be prepared for stuff like naked Ness and cussing but I love it. A girl named Make I can't spell her name cause of auto correct . Make has a soul weapon which is a thing we're people turn into weapons and they need there 100th soul but they we'll eat a cats soul so yeah and they needed to eat a which soul but I love this manga and the anime lol it's to funny also
