I can't recommend this manga enough, the only slight downside I can think of is that the art style changes very slightly. The later volumes have absolutely astounding art, incredibly detailed and intricate. The characters are really likeable and develop a lot over the story. One thing I found really cool is the little details that become really important later on, it makes the story feel well thought out and crafted. Another thing I really enjoyed is how this manga never takes it self too seriously right down to the last chapter, it manages to be deep and engaging while also being light hearted

I fell in love with this manga from the very first chapter I read.The drawing style,the story,the characters and pretty much everything else make the reader not wanting the pages to come to an end.There's almost everything someone might ask from this gender of manga and probably even more.A great story with amazing action and sudden blasts of humor when one least expects it make it worth reading.
The characters all have their own quirks that make each one of them unique in their own weird ways which adds even more to the whole package :P I undoubtly recommend it for everyone that likes to get a ...

After I watched Soul Eater, everyone said, “The manga ending is better.” So I decided to take them up on that and read it.
Why oh why did I finish this manga? Because I’m an idiot? Maybe. More likely than not it's because I wanted to reach this “better ending”. While I’ll admit that “bravery” isn’t the best ending to a series, the Soul Eater anime surpasses the manga. Let’s break down why, shall we? ...

I first started reading Soul Eater because my friend recommended it to me, saying it's "the lovechild of Bleach and Naruto." Which is pretty true, this manga is overall very very epic.
Art: I think art is not as pretty as some of my favorite series (ie. Hikaru no Go) but it's not horrible and it's actually quite likeable. The style changes very slightly while in a different dimension and reflects some of the actions in the plot which I found very awesome. Also, it's not difficult to see what's going on in each panel like in some dramatic action series (ie. 07 Ghosts, I need to ...

This was great. It's a twister of action, comedy, and incredible neuroticism. The characters act together in great tandem, the subject starts out quite fun and dives into serious territory. It is very classic in many senses, but the twist is in its neuroticism. This manga really pulls the reader in.

If you are looking for something interesting + you are a Shounen fan and by accident read one chapter of soul eater be 100% sure you are going to get hooked!! But……
Our protagonist name‘s is “Evans soul eater”, and the story is not completely about him it’s a story about him and his friends hunting souls and witches. Be aware that Evans is not your dominant main character it is more like the author just named the Manga because he likes soul eater‘s name which I found a little bit annoying because other characters is as strong as soul sometimes even stronger! ...

Soul Eater is one of the best comics I have ever read. Before I read it, I thought it was stupid because of the title 'Soul Eater'. What, does some guy eat souls?
Then I decied to read it and its action, humor really packs a punch! I recommened anyone abd everyone to read at least the first chapter and you too will be hooked on some Soul Eater. Another thing that I love the most is that all the main charactors, not only are they strong, they all have problems too. It can either make them or break them. Don't know what I mean? Read ...

The theme of Soul Eater is development. Throughout the manga everything gets more developed.
Story: In the beginning you would think it would start out as getting 99 Kishin or Afreet egg souls and one Witch soul would be the end of it. The answer is no. The story develops into it's own unique way adding humor along with it. There are multiple plot twists also that you will not see coming. More sub plots come in the mix but gets balanced out and fits in the main plot nicely. Still going on today, the story still holds on strong. Art: Once again very developed. A ...

Soul Eater is unique in its own way and it propels you into this bizzare and crazy world which is super cool and unique. One of the things I like about said universe would be the moon that looks like its on cocaine and the sun which pretty much looks like my idiot friend. Weird.
The main factor this manga is dragged down is the storyline. The beginning was great but as the story progressed it gets complicating and if you miss one part, you'd have to go back and read it from the beginning again and that sucks. It was also lacking in many parts ...

I started reading soul eater after watching the brilliant anime. The anime ending was a bit of a disappointment, so I started reading the manga where the anime left it.
After reading the manga only one word springs to mind: EPIC! This is why... Story 10/10 From reading the first chapters you probably think the story's going to a based around the characters collecting 99 evil souls and 1 witches soul. However, the plot turns out to be much more interesting with various twist's and shocked to keep you excited about this manga. Throughout the story there is a great balance between Action and comedy. Overall much more ...

Oh. My. God. I love this series. Maybe it's only my opinion, but this series has everything: characters, intense plot twists, action and comedy. I personally think they kinda messed up the anime adaptation.
Let's talk about the main characters (spoiler freely): creativity gets some extra points. There are about three main characters, but Maka Albarn takes the spotlight, in a good way. They tell every detail from their personality to fears and relationships, but still make enough time for action and epic battles. Almost every character is at least okay. 25 volumes isn't too much, but is just enough for good plot movement and little ...

This is my first time doing review, my english is not that good, but I will give my best
Story I give 5/10 for many reasons. This is shonen, shonen doesn't lean on story that much, there are some that really have great stories, but Soul Eater is really bad to read if you like complicated, well-explained stories with a lot of intersting and unexpected things that can happen. Soul Eater is predictable, boring and even stupid at some point, where you can tell what will happen next. It folllows the life of few teenagers, special teenagers with super-soul powers that study at "Shibusen" - ...

I have to give this manga a 10 despite its many, many flaws because I was so completely captivated by it that it would be dishonest to give it anything less.
This series is just so enjoyable. The world feels as if it is breathing. Every character is perfectly developed just a bit more than someone of their importance in a different series would be, and it makes the story feel completely alive. I almost never reread or rewatch anything. At a minimum, I read this series over four times while it was still coming out monthly because I wanted to be sure I remembered everything ...

I really loved this series from the start, and now, it is my favorite manga, even though it is not the best [ for me]
Plot The plot is very good. It started with the separate introductions of the main characters which I found unique as compared to the introduction of other mangas. The twists of the plot is also good, the way on how the plot is moving, and so on. Art I find Soul Eater's art to be the coolest; it has a unique "aura" in it. The art style brought the feeling of insanity and madness, especially on the characters faces, the background, and the effects. ...

This is a battle manga but I suppose this isn't your standard one, although I'm in no position to say such because I don't read much of this genre but I have seen a lot of battle anime.
One-on-one battles or "you go ahead first, leave this area to me" types are very few in this manga, even if we consider a meister and a weapon as only one. Fights with the enemy are usually done in teams even if there is only one to fight. The usual "I'll beat the shit out of you til you come to your senses" is also nil or maybe ...

I really liked this manga from the start, its setting, humor, and characters are all unique and fun. The ambiance, character designs, and characters' personalities are all pretty cartoonish and the manga didn't take itself too seriously at the start, so I figured that I could ignore some bad choices, but it didn't live up to its potential in the long run.
Some characters might be annoying but they're fun to watch and sympathetic, it's a shame that by the end of the manga few mather and their development seems a little limited for the number of chapters we got to do something more with them. ...

Let me start by saying that SOUL EATER has a very special place in my dear old heart. I've worked very hard to learn Japanese as a second language, and after years of work I can proudly say that I'm fluent. I would not be quite where I am right now without this anime and the manga. It was my first experience diving straight into a work of fiction in full Japanese, no translations, no help. Just me and the raw language practice. With that said, I've reread Soul Eater with a more matured taste and I've decided to drop this review, more for my

Originally I started by watching Soul Eater, but I kept hearing the manga was a lot better and handled character development better so I decided to try it?
Story - It's quite typical, just a "let's save the world" kind of show. It's not deep or very unique or anything. But it's interesting and enjoyable. I loved a lot of the character arcs and there were so many moments which were just epic. I usually only watch anime because I don't get as much excitement from looking at a bunch of pictures but the manga was really compelling and left me on the edge of ...

Soul Eater is a pretty good story. The manga version is pretty good. There are some things that are better than the anime and some things that are not. First, the stories great. It has some of the same parts as the anime plus more. Even though the manga came first (2004) than the anime (2008), the manga's still not finished which is kinda a problem cause I always like things to have an end. The one difference the manga has from the anime is the Ecchi genre. And let me tell you there are some good ecchi scenes in the beginning. everything the anime

As you can see, I've already made a review on Soul Eater before; however, its beauty wasn't enough to make a very simple review. Now, I decided to edit my whole review and sum up the awesomeness of this manga.
Okay, I'll admit.. I have watched the anime before the manga and believe me, the anime reaaalllly disappointed me and my expectations but the manga made me more satisfied. First, the story is really something I haven't witnessed in ages. I mean, I've seen superpowers, magical cards, animals flying out of balls, and so many animes with detailed and exceptional stories but this one is just ... |
