Black Butler, Vol. 1 by Yana Toboso

4.0

---

I grew up watching the anime adaptation of this manga. Only recently I've had the motivation to read the manga to some anime I've watched in the past. A friend told me to read this since the story is vastly different from the anime (especially the second season...). I love the art of this. Sebastian is even more handsome than I could have expected. This first volume is more like a collection of vignettes to establish the atmosphere of the Phantomhive estate and to introduce the mysteriousness of Sebastian Michaelis and his sordid contract with Ciel Phantomhive. I'm excited to start the Jack the Ripper arc! Hope the second volume leads into it!
