Differences between Anime and Manga

Main article: Difference in the Soul Eater Media

In Soul Eater , the anime and manga deviate, though the anime does Follow the manga closely for some time with some detail changes. However, THESE detail changes range from minor to introducing completely new concepts such as the Kishin-Egg, which replaces the Shinigami's List concept from the manga. Additional scenes in the anime do not occur in the manga; therefore, such anime-exclusive events are considered separate from the canon of the manga.
