Finished on the 5th of May at 14:24. The way this one talked about disabled people and generally socially outcasted people made me feel really disgusted at times.

Ah, this volume was so bloody and dark and disturbing and I loved it. A fitting end to the Noah's Circus story arc, especially if you are fans of Ciel's servants and the shinigami that collect the souls of Victorian London. Last chapter was a welcome bright spot in a book of mostly depressing material, although the cognitive dissonance in its placement was a bit jarring. I really wish Yen Press did 'next volume' previews for Black Butler; it needs it!

PS - Nina Hopkins is basically a representative of a good portion of Tumblr users, especially the Ciel fans. Look into your dashboards, you know it to be true!

This volume was so sad and dark. The doctor was
using the children to create prosthetics
. Seeing the Phantomhive servants protect the manor was cool though. Seeing the backstory of the circus troupe was quite tragic. Ciel's responses to the events that have taken place make sense due to him never being able to deal with his trauma. Seeing the repercussions from his actions are something I look forward to, especially with the queen.

Hahahaha I just love Ciel!! No matter how messed up he's getting, I'm glad that we're getting a glimpse at his past.
I found it interesting that when he found the factory for the abandoned kids, he laughed at the Circus worker's deaths and persistence at something that no longer existed.
One thing for sure I'm glad about, is that Ciel killed that creepy man they called "father." He scared the shit out of me, maybe because I was reading this at the dead of night or maybe because he cut off his own legs and is only a stump. And I stress this: HE CHOSE TO DO THAT TO HIMSELF.
Creepy.
