Soul Eater, Vol. 1 by Kei Ohkubo

At a school where young meisters pair with living weapons to harvest corrupted souls, three quirky teams plunge into chaotic missions filled with stylish combat and dark humor. Maka and Soul near the soul quota to forge a powerful weapon, only to blow it when the “witch” Blair proves to be a mischievous cat, sending them back to square one. Meanwhile, Black☆Star and Tsubaki’s showy assassination attempts sputter hilariously, and symmetry-obsessed Death the Kid partners with pistols Liz and Patty on his own soul-collecting quest, setting the stage for rivalries, camaraderie, and the looming threat of madness-fueled monsters.
