Black Butler

In Victorian England, young aristocrat Ciel Phantomhive serves the crown as the “Queen’s Guard Dog,” dispatched to investigate the city’s most disturbing and inexplicable incidents. At his side is Sebastian Michaelis, the Phantomhive household’s impeccably capable butler—so competent, in fact, that his talents often seem beyond human.

Ciel’s authority is rooted in a private calamity that left him consumed by grief and resolve. In his darkest hour, he entered a contract with Sebastian, a demon: vengeance in exchange for Ciel’s soul. Now master and servant pursue the truth behind the misfortunes that shattered Ciel’s life, while Sebastian carries out every command with flawless poise, patiently awaiting the day he can claim the payment promised.
