Black Butler, Vol. 1 by Yana Toboso

5.0

---

The illustrations were gorgeous and really well detailed, though the in-between sketches were less detailed. The story was really well plotted, with excellent world building, good pacing, and a slow, gradual reveal of the secrets. Sometimes the text was confusing to follow, with so many extra notes and small text jottings in between the panels. I love how it builds up the butler duties, slowly going from the expected to the extraordinary. And the relationship between Ciel and Sebastian is beautiful, especially after the ring incident.
I can't wait to read more.
