New Soul Eater Manga series coming

Starting next year, there will be two Soul Eater manga series.

A spin-off series by Soul Eater creator Atsushi Ookubo will be heading a new series, Soul Eater Not! to run alongside the original series in Young Gan Gan magazine.

Form J Geeks Review of the manga:

Soul Eater is about kids working on becoming the shinigami and their weapons. They work in pairs, with one kid that transforms into a weapon and a human that wields that weapon.

The reapers in training must collect 99 evil souls and one witch’s soul to turn the weapon half of the team into a death scythe. But if something goes wrong, the pair will have to start over from the beginning.

The new series is expected to begin Jan. 12 of next year.
