Soul Eater Chapter 71 Discussion

Thank god for two chapters this month.



Good to see Shinigami-sama actually... trying to do something for once. But poor Kid's gonna be eaten by that demon monster thing. <<

The "monster" in the book looks awfully close to a clown.

Mmm.. I wonder when they'll confront that stalker girl.

A battle through a living book?  I'm looking forward to this arc.  This first chapter is already interesting.  Wonder if the mangaka's a fan of Dante's Inferno?  It's kind of disturbing that Tsubaki is hotter as a guy and to say that Black Star looks cute is just...  WRONG! DX

The book isn't living. It's magical. Ohkubo plays a lot of video games, so he might have gotten the idea from that game. But Ohkubo's also pretty well read, so he just as well might have read Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy". It's been used a lot so chances are he's never layed eyes on either of them and encounterd Dante's vision of hell elsewhere.



You might already know, but that scanlation contains a few errors...

I love the style in which the monster on the last page is drawn.

shinigami is gathering witches to force them to save death the kid O_O i didnt no he was that cowardly

EDIT: After reading 71-2  I see what you mean.



That said I have to say it's been very exhausting since the end of the Arachne arc. It doesn't really seem like anything is happening, I hope Otsuka focuses more on the story at hand in the chapters to come.I don't get it? How is saving his son cowardly? It's what we've been waiting for him to do forever!



Also just how can:

Justin attempting to assassinate Maka, Soul becoming a Death Scythe, formation of the elite unit Spartoi, Waffles attempting to assassinatee Maka, finding out who killed BJ, locating not one but two of Medusa's bases, Crona gaining the Black Blood Armor, Medusa making not one but two Clowns, Eruka getting captured, Shinigami sending spartoi into the book of Eibon, Kid becoming evil and Tezca locacting Noah's base of operations...

Do I need to sum up more of NOTHING HAPPENING?
