Soul Eater NOT!

Set a year before *Soul Eater*, *Soul Eater NOT!* shifts the focus to the Death Weapon Meister Academy, where weapon-transforming students and their Meister partners train to master their unusual abilities. While the academy’s top prospects are placed in the Especially Advantaged Talent class to prepare as defenders against looming threats, not everyone is on that fast track.

In the Normally Overcome Target class, the priority is learning control—so powers don’t become a danger to themselves or others. New student Tsugumi Harudori, who can transform into a halberd, befriends Meisters Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn, only to find herself torn over which of them should become her partner. As the trio settles into school life and training, the everyday routine quickly proves anything but ordinary.
