emjizo 's review for:

Soul Eater, Vol. 01 by Atsushi Ohkubo

3.0

---

If I had started with the manga I'm not sure I would have kept going with the series. There is a lot of fan service and the action doesn't translate as well as it does on screen. I think what made it work for me was being able to hear the characters voices in my head from watching the anime. Therefore... 3 stars. It should be able to stand on it's own and be awesome and I'm sad it doesn't. But I'm going to keep reading anyway. Perhaps volume one just falls short and the rest of the written series improves.
