Have I mentioned that I ADORE these covers!! We continue the mystery of the walking dead abroad the Campania, we finally get to see Ronald in action, and get one of my (other) favorite revelations!! I don't want to spoil anything but if you're going to continue the next volume, well, the cover is a dead giveaway. It makes me sad that the original run of Black Butler took all of these revelations away. I mean, I didn't like this person for the longest time and then volume 12 happened
I also tagged this volume as trigger worthy because Grell makes an appearance and everyone keeps calling her "he". Actually, I did this for the longest time, and then I went to a Black Butler panel where this was addressed for like a second and I realized I shouldn't be doing this. But the potentially triggering part is when
The way I think about it is that the story does take place in 1888 so this would be the thought back then but I'll leave that up to you all to decide.

Sebastian tells Elizabeth to stay away from Grell because "he" is a deviant and whatever "he" may have can be contagious. So far this is the most disrespectful thought I've seen addressed towards Grell but yeah, she is always being misgendered.The way I think about it is that the story does take place in 1888 so this would be the thought back then but I'll leave that up to you all to decide.

Ohmygod, this was the best volume. It was just everything I wanted to happen. What I’ve been waiting for. And it was even better than I thought it’d be. I’m so happy I finally continued this series, and that I have more books after this one ready to be read. Because I am so ready for this, you guys.
Ok, so. Zombies are what Ciel and Sebastion are dealing with.They haven’t put a name to them, really, but that’s what they are. There’s a lot of them, too, because this guy, working for some (at the moment) unknown company, is transporting them, after claiming to be able to bring people back from the dead. Well, turns out, he can. Only they’re not really conscious, and they want to eat people. And then, to make matters worse, the ship hits an iceburg.
Ciel is stuck with Elizabeth and Snake and Rian, the guy behind the zombies. Sebastian is checking on Elizabeth’s family, who are just fine because they’re swords-people. Then the grim reapers show up (Ronald Knox and Grelle Sutcliffe), and they’re collecting souls and killing zombies, and sometimes fighting with Sebastian, who is then trying to prolong the sinking and/or save Ciel and company.
Ciel is getting a little sick, because he’s got a weak body. Elizabeth and Ciel end up separated from the others for a while, and they’re just so sweet. Elizabeth is scared, and trying to stay strong and cute for Ciel, and Ciel is worried but doing his very best to keep Elizabeth safe (awww!).
And then! And then something really awesomely huge happens with Elizabeth. It has even more depth than I thought it would, and Elizabeth is awesome and badass and knows more than anyone gave her credit for. I love her. And I’m so very excited to see what happens with her (and everyone else) in the next book.
This battle is just awesome. There’s so much happening! And so much badass-ness, with so many different characters. I’m loving it.

Miren que la aparición/uso de zombies es cualquier historia hoy en día puede recaer en la típica línea de sucesos, personajes, muertes (o no), origen de dichos zombies, etc. Pero en Kuroshitsuji, no solo su uso es súper interesante y encaja con la temática del manga, sino que presenta las bases que podríamos conocer sobre los zombies y, al mismo tiempo, le dan más profundidad y contenido a su origen. Todo esto teniendo en cuenta que estos seres no son protagonistas en Kuroshitsuji, solo son parte de un arco.
El amor que le tengo a Lizzy!! No solo es hermosa, dulce y simpática, también es fuerte y capaz de protegerse a sí misma y a otros. La familia Midford es genial!
Además, me encantó que Grell y Ronald aparecieran! El momento en el que simulan la conocida escena de Titanic entre Rose y Jack cuando están en la proa del barco, muy graciosa
