Cover of Deadman Wonderland volume 2. Shiro is sitting on the ground with her legs stretched out before her. Her hair is fallling around her.
A deadly power lurks in Ganta, and a prisoner being held in solitary in G-Ward may have answers, including more information about the mysterious Red Man who actually murdered all of Ganta's classmates. But, G-Ward isn’t on any known maps, and nobody seems to know of its existence. Shiro and Ganta’s semi-prisoner friend help break a way into the secret ward where a prisoner known as “Crow” is locked up. He refers to Ganta as “Woodpecker” and reveals little else except that he and Ganta share the same mysterious powers in their blood.

Soul eater the perfect edition vol 1 by atsushi ohkubo

6/20/2025

Cover of Soul Eater: The Perfect Edition volume 1. Maka is contorted a bit so her hands are wrapped around her body and she looks surprised. She's in her school outfit with a tailored black suit jacket, tie, and a red plaid skirt.
Three aspiring agents of Death come together (eventually) at school and learn to be better collectors of souls. For two characters, Maka and Black Star, they are on a mission to create an ultimate weapon for Death, and to do so, they need to collect 99 souls of humans and one witch, which they feed to their weapons. Their weapons also can become anthropomorphic entities with strong personalities that must match their weapon-masters soul energy. Otherwise, wielding them is nearly impossible. Our third character is none other than Death’s son — Death the Kid — a reaper with a powerful pair of guns as his weapons.
