As high society's social calendar opens up and the Season draws to a close, London is gripped by fear. Someone has taken to stalking women of the night and painting the town red...in their blood. The name on everyone's lips seems to be "Jack the Ripper" - and as a result, the name on Queen Victoria's lips is Phantomhive. Summoned to London to clean up the mess created by this madman, Ciel Phantomhive arrives with Sebastian, his extraordinary butler, at his side to pour him tea, polish his silver, and...investigate a serial killer. And with the aid (and occasional interference) of a few of the Phantomhive house's numerous acquaintances, little stands in the way of the young earl getting to the bottom of this mystery. However, one question remains...can he handle the shattering truth behind it?

Review for Black Butler, vol. 2,

This review is from: Black Butler, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
This manga is about a young boy who promised his soul to a demon in exchange for help finding the identity of the people who killed his parents and getting revenge against them. In the meantime, the demon masquerades as his butler and takes orders from him. The setting is in Victorian England, and the artwork is beautiful. I often find myself wanting Ciel's clothes. The storylines are at times funny and at times dark and serious. I especially enjoyed reading the author's behind-the-scenes stories at the very end of the manga, which you don't get if you only read the manga in serialized form. Some of the themes in the manga are dark, so it's more suitable for older children and adults.

That Butler... He does it again!,

This review is from: Black Butler, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Black Butler is my favorite manga. The artwork is beautiful and the storyline is amazing! The characters are funny, some sardonic. I would recommend this volume, (and the first one, and the ones to follow) to anyone who likes fantasy that is kind-of dark. If you don't like violence or gore, there is a little bit in this series, but there's not too much - it shouldn't be too bad for the faint hearted. :) The idea is brilliant and Yana Toboso does an outstanding job in playing it out; she makes Black Butler a memorable manga.

I love this series, and it keeps getting better with every volume.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes dark/gothic type manga.
