This is a list of volumes and chapters of the Japanese manga series Soul Eater written and illustrated by Atsushi Okubo.[1] The manga initially began as three separate one-shots serialized between June 24, 2003 and November 26, 2003 across two manga magazines published by Square Enix: first in the summer 2003 special edition of Gangan Powered,[2] followed by the autumn 2003 special edition of the same magazine, and finally in Gangan Wing. The manga started regular serialization in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan manga magazine on May 12, 2004. The first bound volume was released by Square Enix under their Gangan Comics imprint on June 22, 2004 in Japan, and as of March 22, 2008, eleven volumes have been released.[3] The series will be published in English by Yen Press, first being serialized in Yen Press' Yen Plus manga anthology magazine, the first issue of which will go on sale on July 29, 2008. The first English volume of the manga will be sold in early 2009.[4]

Soul Eater primarily revolves around students known as meisters (職人 shokunin?) or technicians at the Shinigami Weapon Meister Vocational School (死神武器職人専門学校 Shinigami Buki Shokunin Senmon Gakkō?), or Shibusen (死武専?) for short, located in Death City.[5] The school is run by Shinigami, the God of Death himself, as a training facility for weapons created by shinigami and the human wielders of those weapons, the meisters.[5] Each meister has at least one demon weapon companion which has both a weapon and human form. The series primarily follows the lives of three meisters and their respective weapons: Maka Albarn is Soul Eater's meister; Black Star is Tsubaki's meister; and Death The Kid is Patty's and Liz's meister and Shinigami's son. The ultimate goal of the students with their weapons is to have their weapons defeat and eat the souls of ninety-nine evil human souls and one witch's soul which will dramatically increase the power of the given weapon and thus be capable of being used by shinigami.[5]
