Black Butler: Public School Arc

At Queen Victoria’s command, 13-year-old Earl Ciel Phantomhive enrolls at Weston College, an elite boys’ public school famed for its strict traditions and exemplary education, to investigate a royal relative who has been missing for months. His ever-capable butler, Sebastian Michaelis, accompanies him by taking a post on the faculty.

Once inside, Ciel discovers the search is anything but straightforward: the missing person leaves no clear trace, and access to the headmaster—likely the key to the mystery—is effectively sealed off. The only students with regular contact are the leaders of the four dormitories, the Prefect 4: Edgar Redmond, Lawrence Bluewer, Herman Greenhill, and Gregory Violet. To get answers, Ciel must win their favor and navigate a school whose polished reputation conceals far more than it reveals.
