Debería ser pecado que Kid haya cargado sobre su espalda este volumen porque fue lo poco que me gustó... pero bueno, no lo culpo, me da situaciones fáciles y reiterativas de un tipo de humor que me encanta.
El resto sigue un rumbo evidente pero se me hace insufrible cuando llego a estas partes donde se nota que es pura transición de un arco importante a otro. Y no solo me pasa aquí, me pasa en todos los mangas que suelo leer.

Black star looks for corona
Coronas black blood has returned and even stronger that they’re holding 3 swords
He’s able to beat them but while that’s happening Justin law has found Medusa and is fighting her
This is an amazing display of Justin’s fighting techniques since he’s a lone weapon
Death holds a meeting on how to bring kid back and uses the help of a few witches
They’re able to recreate eibons book and have the gang go in
While in Index takes them through the chapters
Starting at the first lust
Everyone switches genders to look what they find attractive in the opposite sex
While there kid is enveloped in madness

Kad kāds tiek nolaupīts un ieslodzīts grāmatā[!!!], pārējiem jādodas palīgā un jātiek cauri grāmatas nodaļām (ne gluži ierastajā veidā), lai viņu izglābtu. Interesanti.

El primer capítulo fue medio de transición. El segundo tuvo unas cuantas cosas sacadas de la galera por parte de Medusa y hubo una pelea aburrida con Justin (un personaje que no me cierra). Eso sí, el dibujo estuvo muy laburado.
El resto de los capítulos estuvieron entretenidos. Sobre todo el último, tuvo un concepto bastante creativo y quiero ver como se desenvuelve el incidente del libro.

KID NOOOOOOOOOOO

je suis pas très fan de ce méchant là au final. Eibon était mieux mystérieux et inatteignable plutôt que ravagé.
PAR CONTRE, le traitement de Chrona est intéressant, et le fait que la folie touche ENFIN kid est TRÈS intéressant

Soul Eater, Vol. 17 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next five chapters (68–72) of the on-going manga series.
Black Star discovers during his fight with Crona that Crona's memories of Maka Albarn and Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA) have been erased by Medusa. The fight is cut short when Medusa is attacked by Justin Law and orders Eruka Frog and Mizune to help Crona escape. They succeed, but Eruka Frog is captured by Black Star.
At DWMA, Soul Evans finds that dozens of other students are requesting him to become their partner now that he is a death scythe. Maka Albarn tries to pay the matter no mind until she notices a single girl who frequently stares at them from afar. Shinigami organizes a plan to rescue Death the Kid from the Book of Eibon with the help of witches Kim Diehl, Risa, Arisa, and Eruka Frog, who open a portal into the book for the members of Spartoí to enter.
The group begins navigating the book's seven chapters thanks to the Index's help, each based on the seven deadly sins, starting with the first chapter "Lust", where the group members switch genders. Meanwhile, deep within the book, Death the Kid encounters a black amorphous creature referring to itself as one of the "Great Old Ones", which consumes him and begins to slowly drive him to madness.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Atsushi Ōkubo. The tankōbon is divided into two sections. The first revealing that the memory of Crona has been wiped by her mother Medusa about her experiences at DWMA. Secondly, a rescue mission is sent into the Book of Eibon to rescue Death the Kid, but it may be too late, as he is slowly being consumed by madness.
All in all, Soul Eater, Vol. 17 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

Poor crona, losing her memories about the DWMA. The black clown is also now part of crona's arsenal so that was interesting that Medusa attached it to her. However, the battle with black star is cut short since Justin attacks Medusa for Noah i believe.
Eruka and mizune try to help crona leave but eruka gets caught by black star.
Soul, now a death scythe, is getting requests for new partners by ladies and Maka tries to not let it bother her. There is a single girl that stalks them that starts to bug her though.
I loved when the witches Risa, arisa, and Blair are called to shinigami's office and they mistake it for a party. It's really cute and hilarious. Marie gets annoyed when Stein hangs out with a witch, not sure which, so that's pretty funny foreshadowing.
After a while shinigami admits that he called the witches, including Kim, to help rescue kid. They use the book of ebion, which Maka not Medusa took from the restricted area, to send the members of spartoi in it.
They find the index which looks like a weird creature and he helps navigate them through the chapters to kid. Unfortunately, the chapters are based on the seven deadly sins.
They start with lust and everyone switched genders and it's as funny as you think it would be.
Kid, meanwhile, is having to deal with a black amorphous thing that refers to itself as one of the "great old one." It consumes him and drives him mad. Poor kid.
Onto the next book.

Yay I'm glad to see Crona again. Despite the fact that she's on the side of madness I like her and I secretly hope that she comes back to the good side. I really like this series the end is near and I already feel nostalgic. I can't wait to finish the series, but at the same time I would have liked to read it more slowly because it is really good.
Yeah je suis contente de revoir Crona. Malgré le fais qu'elle soit du côté de la folie je l'aime bien et j'espère secrètement qu'elle revienne sur le côté du bien. J'aime beaucoup cette série la fin approche en gras pas et je me sens déjà nostalgique. J'ai hâte de finir la série, mais en même temps j'aurais aimé la lire plus lentement parce qu'elle est vraiment bonne.

This volume had a slower pace than the last volume. It spent the majority of the plot setting up the rescue for Kid. Gopher finally finds a way to torture Kid, with his uneven frown and by ripping his clothes into uneven shreds. It was hilarious that that's what finally broke him. The end shows Kid going mad and now that Maka and company are in the book to get him, it'll be a difficult mission to complete.
I predict that Black Star will be the one to break through the madness and make Kid right again.

I do like what is going on with Crona as they show that her mind is breaking as Medusa is forcing more and more insanity experiments on her. It is pretty cool and the different types of clowns we are seeing and exploring what other effects Insanity has on people is really interesting. We are also finally starting the next arc which is about recusing Kid and it seems that it is exploring more about Death and the Eibon and a lot of backstory of this world which is always nice, World Building is also good for a story.

Don't mind me, I'm just casually re-reading the entire manga for the 5th time or so because A) it's one of my comfort series and I need all the comfort I can get right now, B) I own the entire thing physically so it's right there, and C) everyone is talking about fall/ Halloween reads and SE fits that to a T.
Gonna give all the volumes 5 stars as a default. There's plenty I could complain about if I wanted, namely the unnecessary fanservice/ weird sexualization of teen characters, but I'm not gonna do that right now. It pops up rarely enough that I can just pretend it doesn't exist.

This was a pretty regular, decent volume for throughout. And then I got to the final chapter and this series gave me everything I never knew I wanted. Rule 63 gets me every time. Thank you Atsushi Ohkubo!

An interesting installment and I can see why people, including my past self, like this series so much. There are some interesting fights and the story is well-illustrated but nothing other than my own determination is maintaining my reading of this series.

Still have a blast with this series. We have fully moved away from the events of the anime. I'm pretty sad that this plot line is missing from the show because it's the best part of the character arcs and story thus far!

Hilarious!

I'm happy death is showing some action in getting his son back even though I know he feels his son's power and thus knows how he is to some extent.

I totally forgot that Maka checked out that book!

I'm older than I have been as I read this series for the first time, so during this reread the fanservice with these young characters is uncomfortable. I still like the plot development though.

Crona doesn't seem to remember who Maka is.
