SoulMaka is the het ship between Soul Evans and Maka Albarn from the Soul Eater fandom.

Canon
Soul and Maka work together as partners, and deeply care for each other. Soul being a character who feels he has to protect Maka because she is not only his meister, but one of the only few people he genuinely trusts. Maka is similar, seeing as Soul is the only man she actually trusts not to abandon or screw her over. Maka also shows this care through worrying about his safety and saying she needs to protect him as well.

One of the best examples of this is when Soul scarifies himself during a battle with Crona. During this battle, Crona is about get a critical hit on Maka, however Soul steps in, intercepting the hit for Maka. Because of this sacrifice, Soul ends up getting Black Blood. In the next episode, Maka is scene crying over Soul's hospital bed.

Fanon
The SoulMaka ship is by far the most popular ship in the fanbase. Soul Eater fans loved their dynamic right fro the start. The SoulMaka ship has over 1500 fanfiction on AO3, only rivaled by StarTsu. However, the SoulMaka ship will unfortunately never be canon, since Atsushi Okubo (The mangaka of Soul Eater) has stated that the ship is not cannon since he does not see Soul and Maka being in a relationship other then a platonic friendship.
