Soul Eater, Vol. 5

by Atsushi Ohkubo

On the night of DWMA's anniversary celebration, every meister and weapon in Death City has gathered at the school for an evening of music and dancing. Little do they know that the witch Medusa is about the crash Shinigama-sama's party. Trapping the meisters inside, the witch makes her way to the chamber where the First Kishin is imprisoned. Will the few meisters who've managed to escape be enough to prevent Medusa from rousing the madness that slumbers far below in the Kishin's domain?

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.

Even schools like DWMA need to celebrate, right? Thus every meister and weapon of Death City is getting ready for a little (large) party. Unfortunately, they're not the only ones gathering for this event, as a certain witch has plans for how this evening will go.

Review:

Yessss! Soul Eater Vol. 5 dives into my favorite plot arc of the series (probably). It's intense yet oddly humorous at times. In other words, it perfectly showcases the balance that Soul Eater has found, and I love every minute of it.

We all know Medusa has been plotting something horrid for quite some time. This is the volume when we finally get to see a bit of how it's going to play out. Best of all, there's lots of action and a few big reveals.

I won't explain why this is my favorite arc, as doing so would delve into spoiler territory (do I need to worry about spoilers for a ten-year-old book?). Read this volume if you love seeing character dynamics, chemistry, and odd twists in the plot.

Highlights:
Shinigami
Paranormal
Humorous
Has an Anime
