DWMA braces for the final showdown as the Kishin awakens from his slumber at the heart of the moon. Unable to contain his rage, Noah is the first to attack, the Book of Eibon and "BREW" fueling his assault. Despite his formidable efforts, though, Noah is overcome not by the Kishin, but by the sudden appearance of Crona. With the world hanging in the balance, DWMA can only wonder who will prove to be the greater foe--the Kishin...or Crona...

For use in schools and libraries only. With Kishin awakening on the moon, Noah is the first to attack, but he is overcome by the sudden appearance of Crona, a situation that forces DWMA to question who is the bigger foe.

Crona's crimes have become too terrible to ignore, and the troubled youth is added to Shinigami's list. Hoping to reach her friend first, Maka extends her soul perception ability to engulf the entire planet. But the sweep delivers even more than she had bargained for--the location of the Kishin's hideout!

Kid enters the witches' realm to appeal for help! Though they have been DWMA's enemies for years, the witches share a respect for order--and are equally threatened by the Kishin. Kid's immediate goal is to deal with the situation on the moon, but he hopes that the negotiations will forge a new pact between DWMA and witches in the future--assuming anyone survives the Kishin's madness!

Kid's sense of order stands in sharp contrast to the unpredictable madness of the Kishin. But order and madness are two sides of the same coin. When Asura challenges the "tyrannical" Shinigami and his laws that serve to control humans' lives, Kid can feel the tendrils of madness within himself seeking purchase. The bonds of his friendships and his faith in order are tested to their limits as Asura makes his final stand against the forces of DWMA. When the moondust settles, who will emerge as lord of this world--Shinigami or Kishin?

Crona's crimes have become too terrible to ignore, and the troubled youth is added to Shinigami's list. Hoping to reach her friend first, Maka extends her soul perception ability to engulf the entire planet. But the sweep delivers even more than she had bargained for--the location of the Kishin's hideout!

In his madness, Death the Kid has embraced a new notion of "order": Only in nothingness can there be true balance and equilibrium. But for Black*Star, being on equal footing with anyone is not his style. Black*Star has always wanted to "transcend the gods"-now his only chance may be to overpower his shinigami friend and take Death down if he wants to save him...!
