Black Butler, Vol. 1 by Yana Toboso
4.0

I’ve always been interested in watching the anime, but for some reason felt like I couldn’t until I’d started the manga. I feel like it’s more fun to discover the story through the manga, and watch an adaptation afterwards, than it is the other way around. I bought the first volume secondhand, in case I didn’t like it, and gave it a try at the end of 2018.

I ended up really loving it! I knew immediately it was a series I wanted to continue. I’ve been lucky enough to stay away from spoilers, even though the manga and anime are quite a few years old now, so everything was a discovery for me. I loved the characters, I laughed out loud multiple times, and was so invested in the story.

I can’t wait to continue the manga, and watch the anime one day!
