;Manga
Being her weapon partner, both Maka and Soul possess a close relationship despite their contrasting personality, in which one is hardworking and serious while another is rebellious and cynical. Their acceptance of one another is to a degree that they could manage [[soul resonance]] despite [[Franken Stein]]'s speculation that the pair's wavelength were unstable and cannot achieve resonance.<ref name="Chapter 2">''Soul Eater'' Manga: Chapter 2</ref> Their closeness at a point where the pair have danced with one another on more than one occasion<ref name="Chapter 18">''Soul Eater'' Manga: Chapter 18</ref><ref name="Chapter 4 (NOT!)">Soul Eater NOT! Manga: Chapter 4</ref> , held hands together and brought their heads towards each other<ref name="Chapter 18"/><ref name="Chapter 83">''Soul Eater'' Manga: Chapter 83</ref><ref name="Chapter 107">''Soul Eater'' Manga: Chapter 107</ref>, and Maka flushed upon Soul's admittance of her's influence causing him to learn to stop running away from his problems, a flaw he recognized.<ref>''Soul Eater'' Manga Chapter 113. Soul: “Thanks to you, I stopped running from my problems. This is the sound we created together, remember?</ref> Despite this, Soul has admitted on one occassion to her on that he doesn't feel actual romantic feelings towards her, with Maka having already understood this.<ref>[[Audio Drama 06]] - Soul Eater Premium Drama CD: Beware the Sexy Magic! - '''Soul Eater''': Kim said if I didn't do all of that, the magic won't ever end... So it's, erm, it's because I was TOLD to! Don't get the wrong idea, got it?!<br/> '''Maka''':I know that! That goes without saying! But besides that, why the heck do you know about Kim's magic!!</ref>

Though they remain close, Maka's relationship with Soul can have conflict at times; while she herself doesn't appreciate Soul's common insertion that she is unattractive on multiple occassions<ref>''Soul Eater'' Manga: Prologue 1</ref><ref>''Soul Eater'' Manga: Chapter 1</ref>, his inconsiderate comments towards her being unattractive has caused her to be self-conscious at times and once prompted her to prove she had some appeal to him.<ref>[[Audio Drama 06]] - Soul Eater Premium Drama CD: Beware the Sexy Magic!</ref>

;Official statements by guidebooks
In a translation of a 2008 interview within the ''Soul Eater Super Guidebook: How to Make a Death Scythe'', author Ōkubo responds to an inquiry regarding any potential future development between Stein and Marie: 

''“Hmm… I can’t see it. I don’t really have any plans to develop any of the main characters’ male-female relationships anywhere beyond ‘normal’ trust relationships, after all. I showed a glimpse of love between Marie and BJ, but that was more of a mature relationship…”''<ref name="Super Guidebook">[[Soul Eater Super Guidebook: How to Make a Death Scythe]]</ref>

On the other hand, Ōkubo makes mention of incorporating romance through Ox and Kim in the same interview: 

''“The kiss for Ox was completely romantic! Although there are hardly romantic sections in the comic, I wanted to try it out with Ox and Kim.”''<ref name="Super Guidebook"/>

This is one example of an exception he made at that point in time. 

Despite having no initial plans for more of this sort of progression, later chapters of the manga up to its conclusion in 2014 saw the eventual development of an off-screen romance between Stein and Marie that led to the conception of a child. The inclusion of this contradicts Ōkubo’s prior 2008 statement, leaving his intent uncertain and any other potential romances without canon confirmation up to interpretation.<ref name="Super Guidebook"/>
