Just like the previous manga I really liked this one. The drawings are so well executed. I can't wait to read more. I must hurry, because all the next volumes will change library soon. I'm doing a Soul Eater sprint this week. I really like Shibusen's students. Mainly Maka and Soul.

Tout comme les précédents manga j'ai vraiment aimé celui-ci. Les dessins sont tellement bien exécutés. J'ai déjà hâte de lire la suite. Je dois me dépêcher, car les prochains tomes vont changer de bibliothèque sous peu. Je me fais donc un sprint de lecture Soul Eater cette semaine. J'aime beaucoup les étudiants de Shibusen. Principalement Maka et Soul.

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

 a good continuation, plus a bit more of an introduction to other students at DWMA, but mostly filler stories. Unhinged Stine though? 👌🏻

Wasn’t really into this one, particularly because of the Hero/Excalibur chapter.

There is some real plot happening now. Team resonance stuff is super cool, and Black Star trying to connect more with the Uncanny Sword is awesome, hello giant stag. The mission to fine Brew was really cool (pun intended, because snow) and I loved being introduced to other meisters.

I liked most of this volume. A lot is happening in this volume. One of my favorite scenes was Maka and Black Star arguing.

I hated the Excalibur chapter. Partly because you have a student sexually harassing several girls and when they report this to a teacher they're told to "toughen up." And also because Excalibur is just plain annoying.
