Just a stone's throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom, its master one Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria's faithful servant . . . and a slip of a twelve-year old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler, Sebastian, is ever at his side, ready to carry out the young master's wishes. And whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark secrets of London's underbelly, there is practically nothing Sebastian cannot do. In fact, one might even say Sebastian is too good to be true . . . or at least, he is too good to be human . . .
It's not really my kind of thing, it's not bad it just didn't really make me want to see the series or the rest of the manga. I'm not sorry I read it but I just didn't really like it.
Sebastian, the Black Butler serves Ciel Phantomhive, Earl and toy-maker. It's a Victorian London where anything could happen and probably will.
It's a Japanese England and a big house that runs on, apparently, 4 servants...
Much slapstick and apparent effortless ease at everything with the Black Butler, some of his truths can be seen near the end.
Not my type of thing, entertaining but I wasn't really engaged.
