Summary:
In a world where witches, minions, and tainted souls exist, there must also be those that stand against them. These people are known as Weapon Meisters and their Weapons. They are charged with devouring tainted souls and protecting the world.
A new arc is on the horizon, and with it – a new villain! Meanwhile, poor Crona is going to have to make some hard decisions. Stick to the past, or embrace the potential future?
Review:
Well, a whole lot happens in Soul Eater Vol. 9. I’m not even sure where to start. Should I talk about the new arc, the new villain, or the students we got to learn more about? Oh, and let’s not forget the Excalibur cameo (cue the weird face).
The good: I love love love reading about the other students in this world. There’s so much potential to explore here, and I wish we had more time with all of them. (Well, most of them; more on that in a minute). Likewise, I’m happy with the overall plot advancement, especially knowing where it will lead.
The bad: There’s one student (who pairs up with Excalibur for a bit) that I can’t stand. Mainly because he uses his new power to torment the girls. Worse, the teachers don’t care?! That ticked me off. I know the series is over a decade old at this point, but come on.
Highlights:
- Shinigami
- Paranormal
- Humorous
- Has an Anime
