Upon discovering that she can transform into a weapon, Tsugumi Harudori transfers to the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA) in Death City in order to learn how to control her powers. Whilst struggling to climb the many steps leading up to the DWMA, Tsugumi is helped out by one of the students, Maka Albarn, who encourages her to reach the top, with a beautiful view of the city as her reward. Tsugumi soon arrives at the freshman reception for the DWMA's NOT class, where she makes friends with absent-minded meister Meme Tatane. With the freshmen tasked to find a partner, Maka and her weapon partner, Soul Eater, are brought in to give a demonstration. Following the reception, Tsugumi decides to follow Maka's example and stands up for Meme when she is hit on by delinquents trying to coerce her into being their partner. Noticing the situation, another meister named Anya Hepburn decides to stand up to the delinquents by herself. With some encouragement from her teacher, Sid, Tsugumi manages to find her resolve and transforms into her weapon form, a halberd with a blunt edge, helping Anya to fight off the delinquents. After the fight, both Meme and Anya express their desire to become Tsugumi's partner. |

Tsugumi, Meme, and Anya are escorted to the girls' dorm by the supervisor, Eternal Feather, who warns them about 'the witch of the girls' dorm'. After the girls move into the dorms and settle into their rooms for the night, Tsugumi finds herself tied up by the housemaster, Misery, who attempts to remodel her with a mallet into her ideal 'Mary' from her favorite romantic novel, but is thwarted by a sleepfighting Meme before being stopped by another DWMA student. The next morning, this girl turns out to be the dorm's 'witch', Kim Diehl, who takes Tsugumi's allowance as payment for her rescue. Meanwhile, Anya has spent her entire allowance, along with her family brooch, on trinkets from the marketplace whilst Meme has misplaced her own allowance. With virtually no money between them for the week, the girls apply for a part-time job at the Deathbucks Caffe, along with two other students from the NOT class, Akane and Clay. After a day of work, Tsugumi uses some of her earnings to buy Anya a new DWMA brooch to replace the one she sold. |

Eternal Feather explains to Tsugumi and the others about how Kim got her reputation, including how she received her awkward stage name from her.

The next day, as Anya feels left out from her group, she is attacked by one of the Traitors on her way home, but is saved by the arrival of Tsugumi and Meme, before Akane and Clay manage to force the Traitor to retreat. Later, EAT student Ox Ford gives Tsugumi his allowance to replace the money Kim stole, asking her not to hold anything against her. Upon discovering Anya had received a poisonous scratch from the Traitor, Kim gives her a bandaid that seems to magically heal her, though another EAT student, Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupré, suspects there is more to it than that. |

Later, Jacqueline stumbles across Kim as she uses magic to heal an injured puppy, learning that she is in fact a real witch. As Kim becomes devastated at being found out, stating how she came to the DWMA to escape the world of witches, Jacqueline decides to keep Kim's identity a secret in exchange for treating Tsugumi and the others to ice cream.

When they run into the sisters later that day, Anya prepares to stand against them with Tsugumi, but is outmatched by their ability to both transform into pistols. While Anya and Meme avoid going to the café, Tsugumi keeps going there every day in the hopes of standing up to the sisters and ordering a pilaf. When one of the customers gets upset with Patty for her rude service, Liz attempts to punch him but Tsugumi steps in and takes the hit instead. The next day, after a brief run-in with meister Death the Kid, Tsugumi states how she has come to admire Liz and Patty's strength, also complimenting them on their coolness and beauty. With Tsumugi's friends returning to the café to join her, the Master explains to Liz and Patty how they have no need to be defiant as people in Death City can accept them for who they are.

On another day, Meme wakes up with a bag full of cash, a sloth, and a missing eyebrow, with no recollection of what led her to this bizarre situation. As Meme's investigation continues to leave her with more questions, she eventually finds the sloth's owner and remembers what happened the day before. Later, Tsugumi finds a bat and catcher's glove and decides to teach Anya and Meme how to play baseball, becoming a bit too invested in it.

Overcoming her fears, Tsugumi manages to break open Meme's guard and administer the antidote via a kiss. Whilst it doesn't appear to work at first, Tsugumi puts herself in harm's way to get Meme to remember the times they've spent together, managing to perform a Soul Resonance with her and break her free from Shaula's mind control. Tsugumi then makes the decision to make both Anya and Meme her official partners, believing the three of them can resonate together.
