Soul Eater is now celebrating the 20th anniversary of the manga's original release, and the franchise is going all out for the occasion with a special new art exhibition opening in Japan! Atsushi Ohkubo's Soul Eater first hit the pages of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine in 2004, and was such a success that the series spawned a 51 episode anime adaptation along with a spin-off series that showcased a new side of the franchise's kooky world.
Soul Eater will be kicking off the 20th anniversary with a special celebration in Japan that includes a newly announced exhibition featuring art from the manga at Tokyo's Space Galleria from August 23rd to September 23rd later this year, and then will move to Osaka's Space Gratus from October 25th to November 25th.
— 大久保篤/Atsushi Ohkubo May 12, 2024What Is Soul Eater? While it's not really easy to check out the Soul Eater manga online, it's easier than ever to go back and check out the original anime adaptation that brought it all to life.
"Maka's a Meister and Soul is her Weapon, and they're a freakin' lethal team in battle against the monsters and ghouls that feed on innocent souls. That's when Soul transforms—literally—into a razor-sharp scythe and Maka wields her partner and unleashes her inner-slayer. Fighting alongside their Meister/Weapon classmates, Maka and Soul are the world's last line of defense against evil.
Soul Eater is one of the classic franchises that fans have been hoping to see return with a new anime reboot or sequel in the future, and the 20th anniversary is just another reminder of why there are still so many requests to see it return. Unfortunately, a reboot or revival doesn't seem to be in the cards just yet but ComicBook will keep you update if one ever does get announced.
