Synopsis[]
The DWMA student body is still reeling after the news that one of their own is a witch. But as one young witch flees Death City, another has come back to DWMA hoping to strike a deal with Shinigami-sama. Medusa has already proven herself a traitor to the school, but the information she offers is critical to DWMA’s efforts to take down Arachnophobia and curb the spread of madness. Can Medusa be trusted to lead a team of students into the heart of enemy territory?![1]

Trivia[]
- On the title page, the message on Soul's blade and the Moon, "Listen to the Beat of the Soul," appears elsewhere as an opening caption to another volume of the manga Soul Eater.
- The artwork on the table of contents alludes to pumpkin bloomers, which Medusa Gorgon wears while possessing Rachel Boyd in Chapter 45 (included in this volume), when Death and Spirit Albarn obsess over her underwear.
- In Yoshiki Tonogai's comic, the Panty-Shot Bombers reveal the kind of underwear the character wear: Maka Albarn's underwear features the Soul Eater logo, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa's a star, Liz Thompson's a DWMA logo, Arachne Gorgon's a spider, Medusa Gorgon (possessing Rachel Boyd's body) wears bloomers, and Franken Stein wears boxers.
