Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc

At Queen Victoria’s command, 13-year-old Earl Ciel Phantomhive heads to southern Germany to look into a string of unsettling deaths. Each victim had recently ventured into the ominous Werewolves’ Forest, only to return with bizarre deformities before dying—fueling village whispers that a “witch’s curse” is to blame.

Skeptical of the folklore, Ciel travels with his demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis, and the Phantomhive household staff into the forest, where they find a secluded settlement cut off from the outside world. The village is inhabited solely by women, openly hostile to strangers, and devoted to a young girl with emerald eyes and bound feet: Sieglinde “Green Witch” Sullivan. As Ciel and Sebastian dig for the real cause behind the deaths, they become affected by the same curse, forcing them to confront the possibility that the legends surrounding the forest may hold more truth than expected.
