I picked up volume 22 today. I'm finding it a nice touch how, at this point in the story, the covers of the volumes are getting blacker and blacker.

I have a message from another time...

That's the one with Medusa?

It was certainly menacing.

No, the one after it. It's got an even blacker cover than the volume that ended with a simple murder story.

Does anyone consider Soul Eater Not! worth reading?

Well, I enjoyed it. I wish it there was more exploration on how Death City works and its quirks.

It's mostly cute girls doing cute things. Sometimes stale, sometimes endearing, and you get occasional Soul Eater violence and horror.

So, give it a whirl if you want. I think that if you don't end up caring for it, it's no skin off your teeth.

Meaning "not a big deal or concern." Like if you're disappointed, I don't think it will be rage inducing, just a reaction on the level of a 'meh'.

I got the last volume of Soul Eater today.

Now that was one hell of a finale.

Ain't it cool how the last volumes have their covers progressively blacker?

I still wish we had more. Well, there's still the Not! manga.

I can't tell if that misspelling was intentional or not. if it was, that was actually pretty funny

[up][up][up] And then the final volume is white. Ah, symbolism.

As for wanting more, I can agree. At the same time though, I feel like it was a good sendoff. One that leaves you with the idea that there could be more, but still wraps up the story enough to be an ending.

You know, for some reason it took me a few readings to understand what was going on there.

Gotta say, that's at least a better madness to have to deal with than Fear or Isolation.

I can say this much. The last Soul Eater volume definitely demonstrates the problem with online translations. These translations make a significant difference.

Now, it seems strongly implied that Crona might get rescued someday. (At least, Crona and Maka seem to think so)

Yeah, the ending seemed bittersweet, but still hopeful, which I feel fits pretty well with the story as a whole.

One detail I quite liked (which I'm sure everyone has already noticed) is how the note Crona placed into the song to lead Maka out was a G.

What makes a G note special? Or am I just missing something?

The note had been associated with Maka a few times before. The first time was during Maka's battle with the Clown, when Soul asks Maka to choose a note on the piano to bring out her anti-demon wavelength and break through the Clown's madness.

That was the impression I got from the scanlation too. After 19 months, however, I still feel like posting this.

@thatother1dude,When you post it like that, it almost makes you sound like a shipper on deck. XD

On another note, the ending to Soul Eater actually resembles the end to Okubo's other series, B.Ichi. Has anyone else read it?

Also, I'm new to this site, so I'm wondering, is there a proper trope name for the whole I-might-see-you-again-but-it'll-be-post-series type situation?

sounds like it'd fit into And the Adventure Continues. Which is kind of how this series ends. The war with Asura is done for now, bu his is just one chapter in their story.

[up][up]If shipping is the first thing that comes to mind at that song, you've probably not see "Jurassic Bark".

(I do ship Maka and Crona like crazy, but that is incidental)

((and Shipper on Deck would make me a character in the series, which sadly isn't true))

[up]On a vaguely related note, the author is starting a new series... eventually. Hopefully it can manage the same kind of tone and style as Soul Eater while still being distinct.

Actually, I did see that. It's been awhile though.

Still, about the whole B.Ichi thing...

Started the anime dub not too long ago. On episode 41. It's hilarious how outclassed Arachne is by Medusa.

She's like the Tarquin to Medusa's Xykon.

[up][up]If you're interested in continuing the manga where it left off, start at chapter 38 (the second half of volume 10).
