Soul Eater

by Atsushi Ohkubo / Bones

In the shadowy city of Death City, students at the Death Weapon Meister Academy train to become Meisters and living Weapons — partnered pairs who hunt souls and face the ever-present threat of madness. One wrong resonance, one consumed soul that shouldn't have been, and the line between hero and monster blurs irreparably.
