Soul Eater, Vol. 7

by Atsushi Ohkubo

Shinigami-sama summons the strongest weapons from around the world to contain the rogue kishin and the spread of his madness. As these powerful weapons strategize for what will be the most difficult battle of their lives, the students of DWMA try to get back to their normal lives as best they can. For Maka, adjusting to the dangerous times is nothing compared to Crona's struggle to adjust to life as a DWMA student!

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.

With one of the strongest kishin out on the loose, it is time to start consolidating power. As such, Death has summoned some of his best Death Scythes back to DWMA. Not only will they be responsible for protecting the students, but they will be called upon to hunt the rising evil in the area.

Review:

Oh! I had forgotten that Soul Eater Vol. 7 is where we finally meet Arachne. It makes sense, moving on from one villainess to the next, right? Interestingly, there's still a bigger bad out in the world. Let's not forget the sudden arrival of so many Death Scythes. Their introductions are limited here, yet there are at least two that we can get a strong feeling for.

Overall, this volume is a lot of fun. We get to see the DWMA students keep on with the good fight, with the addition of a new classmate to mix things up. These plots are balanced out by the plots surrounding the adults (IE, the Death Scythes).

In addition to that, there are several undertones for readers to pick up on. I think that has to be my favorite element of this plot arc. There's so much to read into, making it a deeper read. Plus, theory-crafting can be so much fun.
