Atsushi Ōkubo ( 大久保篤), also romanized as Atsushi Ohkubo, is a Japanese manga author and fantasy artist known for his work on the manga series Soul Eater, which has been adapted into an anime. Okubo worked as an assistant under Rando Ayamine, on the manga series Get Backers. He also created artwork for various cards for the Lord of Vermillion game.
Atsushi Ōkubo was not a model student and was more attracted to drawing than to learning. At the age of 20, after finishing studies at a manga school where he met Rando Ayamine, the author of Get Backers, he became Rando Ayamine's assistant for two years. Finally, he won a competition at Square Enix's Gangan magazine with his first manga series B.Ichi and it was published for four volumes. After the end of his last manga, he created Soul Eater, still for Square Enix's Gangan magazine, which brought him worldwide success.
Otro tomo de transición que muestra una batalla entre Maka y la Locura, representada por un payaso. Lo interesante es que Maka ha evolucionado y ha desbloqueado un nuevo ataque: el cazador de demonio.
Una vez más confirmo que Medusa me fascina. Los personajes agentes de caos, traicioneros y que van de aquí para allá hacen la historia más interesante y definitivamente dan la chicha necesaria para que explote el conflicto.
P. D.: obviamente la muerte de B.J. no fue a manos de Medusa ni de Stein.
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 is what i have been wanting. SOUL AND MAKA GROWTH. i love their relationship so much and how much they trust and respect each other. and new moves unlocked??? its crazy how soul eater has 3 pairs of characters and how i love all of them so much. but shit is moving. new character kim going crazy. everyone is making their moves. its like 4 people playing chess its PEAK
Spirit and sid "arrest" Stein but they don't believe he's the killer. So they let him and Marie go and find the real killer.
Black star and tsubaki leave death City for a bit of a vacation and crona leaves as well before she can be found out to be working for Medusa.
Maka and death the kid are dispatched to a spooky factory where Maka learns to overcome her fear and becomes even more powerful.
Two witch agents are found out to be at the school, kim and Jackie. They flee before anyone can talk to them out of fear. Turns out that the one who told shinigami who the secret witches were was Medusa and she wants to make a deal.
Still getting complicated with Stein's increasing madness and it'll be interesting to see what Medusa has up her sleeve.
On to the next book.

Sobre as questões "menores", fiquei surpresa com a revelação sobre as bruxas que estavam em Death City! Tomara que o rumo que uma delas tomou não dê merda, mesmo sabendo que é provável que dê. Fiquei com pena dela. :(
E sobre a parte mais importante desse volume - o ataque novo da Maka e do Soul -, apenas !!!!! resume meus sentimentos. Acho a ligação deles incrível, amo que eles puxam um ao outro de volta em situações ruins e o golpe novo é foda demaaais.
This is the longest arc I've seen in a manga to date. Please stop iiiiiiit. There's major art problems. The new style is weird and doesn't translate well. There's also multiple times that in one frame the characters coat is shredded and then goes back to being perfectly fine (with no flash backs) in the next frame as if that never happened. It's things like that that bother me.
Maka and Soul, gotta love them. The whole scene with the clown was almost too short for the emount of change it made? And Kim...oh Kim, I wanna protect you, please. Such Chaos with Arachne and Medusa and Shibusen and just....I want it to get better but everything feels like it's just getting worse..
The Clown was easily the best part of this volume, it had such a cool and creepy design as it seemed to be mismatch of random parts. The way it moved and fought was pretty cool to and the fact we never get a clear answer about what exactly it is besides the fact it came from Madness makes it more Lovecraftian and I do hope their are most of these things in the future.
this really is totally different from the anime damn. I love the kid vs clown fight in the anime but I can see how this serves the plot more. also the secret witches???? the anime is basically just an au atp
Any time I see Soul and Maka communicate, trust each other and just be amazing partners I gain so much life 😭✨💕 Bonus life points for any scene with Soul playing the piano 🌟💚
