Soul Eater, Vol. 1 (Volume 1) (Soul Eater, 1) Paperback – October 27, 2009

am I wrong or is this book back wards? UPDATE - I am new to Manga and the book is perfect! we love the series!

My son loves manga and wanted to start this series he was very thrilled. Perfect gift

one of thr best mangas ever. Just. didn't age well in some bits you know the ones

Let me start by telling you that Soul Eater is already at volume 20 in Japan so it must be doing something right. The manga should not be based on one volume which is why I argue with some the other reviewers opinions. It can be summed up as a story that revolves around a set of different characters that all have different personalities and abilities. The summary of the first volume is the back story the introduces the 3 main set of character that have both a reaper and their scyths that have their own form. With no real main character it makes for enjoyable experience to pick the one you like the most and pay attention to how their story progresses thoughout the manga.I'm not asking you to buy it, but if you do be warn that there is funny stupidity, sexual perversion, and awesome fight scenes.

I got this as a gift for my friend who loves the show and the manga came in perfect condition and very quickly not to mention she said the manga itself was great and very interesting. We both love the show tons and considering the quality I received I would most definitely consider buying one of these for myself too

The media could not be loaded. It came on the date it said it would, BUT I the book is messed up around the binding, also LOVE this manga series, andddd I don’t really mind it being messed up since it was only by a little bit plus it’s not THAT noticeable(even though it kinda is) but oh well

Atsushi Ohkubo did a wonderful job with his first volume of soul eater. The first 3 chapters were prologues to the main characters while the 4th chapter was the first chapter to the story itself. It also included a mini chapter of a gag manga the author created and a glossary of Japanese symbol/text meaning such as why kun, chan, and sama is referred to some people after they say it after their name. You will get hooked to the series as I did and if you plan on watching the anime. The anime does a great job of parallel the story from book to television screen. Until later as some people may have said in which the anime splits from the manga.

The art in soul eater has a sort of halloween feel like the anime which is one of my favorite parts about this seires. It has some fan service but it's not as bad as others. This is my favorite anime/manga serise right now i highly recomend.pros- great art- interesting story- great charectors- honorfics ( chan sensei ect.)cons- some fan service (i'm a 13 year old girl so this is a con)- sound effects in japanese ( got confusing)overall 4.5
