When "BREW" activates in the middle of his battle with Mosquito, Death the Kid's soul wavelength is amplified to a whole new level!

Me ha parecido súper emocionante. Me encantó este tomo.

El pico más alto para mí lo protagoniza Black Star junto con Mifune en una batalla sangrienta e impactante.

Y Kid no se queda atrás, me gustó mucho verlo en su propio enfrentamiento. Aunque lo que pasa al final... mi corazón no lo soporta.

En cuanto a Maka, Soul y Medusa, espero que Aracne les de un poco de batalla y complicaciones porque sino sería para mí la mayor vendida de humo.

I think I may stop for a while and focus on my other reads but I am SO going back to this awesome, awesome manga ♥

[Niki]

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.

Soul Eater, Vol. 14 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next five chapters (53–57) of the on-going manga series.

While fighting Mosquito, the demon tool Brew that Death the Kid is holding activates, enabling him to hold off Mosquito's attacks before the enemy gets away.

Elsewhere in the castle, Kilik Rung fights alongside Ox Ford with their weapons, and the final two castle locks are destroyed. Arachne attacks Maka Albarn's group with a mental attack, but they soon break through it. Maka Albarn, Soul Evans, and Medusa enter Arachne's inner lair and discover her lifeless body. Mosquito fights with Noah, but is killed quickly, and Death the Kid is sucked into Eibon's book as Liz and Patty Thompson look on in horror.

Outside the castle, Black Star continues his fight with Mifune until he finally defeats him.

This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Atsushi Ōkubo. It continues the infiltration of Baba Yaga's castle – the headquarters for Arachnophobia. Outside, Black Star battles Mifune and finally defeats him. Meanwhile, Ox Ford and Kilik Rung continues their attacks to get further into the castle as the last two locks are broken – only to find the lifeless body of Arachne is found lifeless within.

All in all, Soul Eater, Vol. 14 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

De mis tomos favoritos de Soul Eater hasta ahora, sin ninguna duda. Justo cuando pensaba que quizás Kidd no era un personaje tan interesante y se me hacía un poco repetitivo, se robó todos los focos y me cerró el culo. El último capítulo de la pelea de Black Star me pareció excelente.

[Nakarem]

I'm repeating myself but??
I love all of them? How can you hurt them?!
And why that cover? Did I miss something or did Excalibur never even appear or was referenced in this volume?

[Schlomo]

Ein Glück kam Excalibur in dem Band nicht vor xD. Hatte schon Angst. (Iykyk)

The battle between Black Star and the samurai was amazing. As were the battle for all the other characters. The only one that fell short was Maka's. I know she is an amazing technician, and I know that she is capable of many fantastic things. I just thought that the battle between Maka and Arancne (sorry about the spelling) was kinda calm and lacking in the comparison to the others. That seemed too easy. And then there is Medusa... Why won't this witch die???

[Katherine Velasquez]

Free is able to break the last lock
Soul Maka and Medusa goes to Arachne
Soul gets trapped in magic even asking Arachne for help
Maka snaps him out
Kid runs into mosquito and eibon
Eibon kills and collects mosquito and Kidd
Black star fights mifune and wins by killing him

[TrashKat]

I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of Black*Star, but wow! The fights in this volume are top-notch. The art style for the messiness of battle is really unique and I loved the way it panned out on each page.

[Holly Letson]

Fun and action-packed as usual.

Volume 14 still has us in this damn castle. I was ready for a change of scenery but the action held my attention the entire time. Kid becomes a total badass and comes so close to defeating Mosquito. he's taken out by Eibon though. He also takes Kid and I literally screamed when that happened. I swear, nothing bad better happen to him. He's one of my favorite characters. Elsewhere, a spell is put on Medusa, Soul, and Maka. The art for these scenes were cool and creepy to look at. I definitely felt uncomfortable so I was extra happy when they were able to break from the spell. A lot of other shit happens in this book but I can't remember it all right now. I just know that is was awesome.

[Sandra Girard-Demontigny]

Once again I liked this manga. I still don't trust Médusa despite all that I saw in this volume. I can't wait to see what will happen in the next manga because the end is very intriguing. I liked the energy of Black-Star in this manga. I really like him and I hope he will succeed if he is undertaken.

Encore une fois j'ai bien aimé ce manga. Je ne fais toujours pas confiance à Médusa malgré tout ce que j'ai vue dans ce tome-ci. J'ai hâte de voir ce qui se produira dans le prochain tome car la fin est très intrigante. J'ai bien aimé l'énergie de Black-Star dans ce manga-ci. Je l'aime bien en fait et j'espère qu'il va réussir se qu'il a entrepris.

So this was an insane battle between mosquito and free and kid. Mosquito is stupid strong and while free sneaks off to destroy a lock, kid accidently activates brew. Brew helped kid fend of Mosquito.

Elsewhere, ox and kilik fight their way to destroy the final locks so that soul, Maka and Medusa can go confront arachne. However, she's dead. Which was anticlimactic.

Mosquito goes to find out why arachne was left alone and that was due to Noah, who holds the book of ebion. They fight but Noah wins and takes kid with him by taking him prisoner in his book.

Black star finally defeats milfune.

On to the next book.

4.5 stars rounded up~

hot damn, shit is just wild in every chapter right now and the growth for both Kid and Black Star are -chef’s kiss-

[Timothy Pitkin]

Ok so a lot in this volume, so is Mosquito supposed to be Dracula and I get part of the reasoning as he is a blood sucker but they abandon the bug theme for bats a little confusing but also disappointed that Kid did not get to finish the fight. Also Eibon is interesting as their is some nice mystery surrounding him. Also the fight with Mifune is really cool and Arachne has some really cool, disturbing imagery.

[Sophia Paul]

everything about this volume was kinda peak.

1) KID V MOSQUITO was hype. the shit with the brew?? and buddy has 2 more power ups like.. hes gonna be something
2) SOUL, MEDUSA, MAKA. getting soul lore??? HE HAS A BROTHER??? and also i feel so bad for him like please someone help him with his self worth
3) KID GONE??!?!?! FAKE EIBON TOOK HIM UHHHHHH
4) Black Star. Mifune. Peak. Made Me Cry. and black star and sid bro.... black star steals this fucking series man

[LordSlaw]

An epic installment. The battle between Death The Kid and Mosquito concludes in fascinating fashion. As does the monumental confrontation between Black Star and Mifune, during which some of the panels are rendered in a beautiful 'heavy-ink' style. There are some quieter backstory passages and the cute witches Mizune and Eruka make an appearance. I can't wait to see what happens next.

[Chloe]

This was so intense! I loved the artwork for the last chapter, it was really good!
The last chapter also made me cry a little bit...I won't say why due to spoilers, but MAN.
My only tiny complaints are that how Maka broke free from the puppet spell wasn't shown, and Excalibur wasn't in this volume at all. Then again, he is calling me a fool on the back cover, so...

[Fluffy_Pomeroy]

Finally deviating to more interesting territory.

So the baba yaga castle raid was feeling a bit padded. It's now going a bit harder on the core trio (plus weapons). A nice character beat for soul, black star and kid get an "oh yeah!" Moment.

[Zay]

Continuation of Operation Capture Baba Yaga Castle + Kids’s soft awakening + Mosquito vs Eibon (Noah) + Black Star vs Mifune the finale

lol “ I never seen no demon tool soldier like that before”
“Is he a new model or something?”

[Liliana]

kid saying, "my arms no longer have bilateral symmetry" after his arm was cut off got me dyingg

these manga panels were so well drawn, the fight with blackstar and mifune was soo peak

wish the cover for this volume was better bro like huh

[Дени ★ Проданова]

Защо точно Мифуне трябваше да умира? Какво ще стане с Анджела сега?

[Pato Myers]

A quick and enjoyable read. I do doubt the reasoning behind sending kids into war situations no matter what reasons the story gives.

[Alice4170 🌙]

5/5 ⭐
