After the conclusion of the First Kishin story arc, how will Soul Eater follow up on such a monumental shift in plot? The answer is apparently new characters, Chrona in school, and . . . a basketball game? But one thing is readily apparent: everything has changed for Maka and her friends, as the threat of the First Kishin hangs heavy over the DWMA, putting everyone in the world of meisters and weapons on high alert to the point that Shinigami-sama has to bring several of these weapons together to combat this new enemy. And as our intrepid gang of DWMA students set off on another adventure whilst dealing with their own various dilemmas, Soul Eater continues to find new ways to combine awesome action and character-driven drama with utterly horrific situations involving magic and science in a stylish way that continues to keep me as one of its avid readers.

Look out for the full review of Soul Eater volume 7 over at Nagareboshi Reviews soon. ( )

So in volume six the Kishin was awakened, now as a consequence of that the Witch Arachne has awakened and reformed herself. It's been eight hundred years since she was on the run being chased by both her fellow witches and Lord Death. She had to hide herself in order to survive and now is the time of awakening. She plans on picking up where she left off and doesn't think Lord Death can stop her and her army.

Once again I enjoyed the story, it's fun to see the differences between the Manga and the Anime. Pick up Soul Eater, Vol. 01 and start the twenty-five volume series. ( )
