Synopsis:

Set at the Death Weapon Meister Academy one year before the events of *Soul Eater*, this series explores the challenges faced by students with less exceptional abilities. The narrative centers on Tsugumi Harudori, a newly enrolled student who transforms into a halberd and struggles to choose between two potential Meisters: Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn.

The story follows their integration into the academy's Normally Overcome Target class, where focus lies on managing volatile powers rather than pursuing justice. Expect a character-driven narrative exploring themes of self-discovery and belonging amidst the everyday trials of adolescence. The series depicts a world where extraordinary abilities are commonplace, yet mastering them presents unique personal hurdles, resulting in a grounded and nuanced exploration of power and identity within a fantastical academic setting.
