Black Butler, Vol. 1 by Yana Toboso

This was interesting. I like the premise, and the setting of Victorian London is very appealing to me. I also like the human-demon relationship between Ciel and Sebastian and am curious to see how that develops. Also, I love the antics of the rest of the manor staff- very fun to read!
However, it just overall felt MEH. I wasn't surprised, I don't feel anything for any characters, and the art was nothing extraordinary. The pacing felt slow, and I think there was quite a bit of wasted space (especially with that whole Elizabeth/learning to dance bit). I'm going read the next couple volumes on the recommendation of a friend- here's hoping the next one is more developed all around.
