Soul Eater is a manga series by Atsushi Ohkubo (also known for his recent series Fire Force.) It was serialized in Square Enix’s Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine from 2003 to 2013 and was animated in 2008 with a total of 51 episodes. The spin-off manga called Soul Eater Not was also animated by Bones. The English versions of the manga were licensed by Yen Press, while Crunchyroll streams the anime. They describe the story of Soul Eater as:
Maka’s a Meister and Soul is her Weapon, and they’re a freakin’ lethal team in battle against the monsters and ghouls that feed on innocent souls. That’s when Soul transforms—literally—into a razor-sharp scythe and Maka wields her partner and unleashes her inner-slayer. Fighting alongside their Meister/Weapon classmates, Maka and Soul are the world’s last line of defense against evil.
