Just a stone's throw away from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom and its young master, Ciel Phantomhive. On the night of Ciel Phantomhive's tenth birthday, a fire engulfed his manor. The boy was missing for a month before returning with a mysterious black clad butler, Sebastian. The servant is actually a demon that had entered into a contract with Ciel, promising the boy to help him achieve revenge on the arsonists in exchange for his soul. Sebastian Michealis, an exceptionally loyal butler, is ever at Ciel's side, ready to carry out his young master's wishes. As the Queen's guard dog and standing at the top of the British underworld, the young boy must face many difficulties along the way. Black Butler is set in the Victorian era, and carries with it the typical eloquence of its time.
Loved the art, personally I think it has a confusing plot. Season one seemed like the absolute end to the series, because all of his enemies are taken care of for the most part, and implied that he dies. When I found out about season two I was wondering if Sebastian had a new master and that it would end up with a lot of spin-offs. The second season was pretty good, though it doesn't explain what happened between the seasons. Under laying hints of shonen-ai.
