~4/5
(Contains spoilers!)

There's a suspicious party going on downtown. Normally this wouldn't cause concern, but people from all over are attending all the time, and once they start, they don't stop. And now people are going missing.

Ciel and Sebastian go to investigate, and meet a fortune teller, who can immediately tell that something is wrong with Sebastian and kicks him out. Ciel is playing at being a poor kid, and stays around to investigate what's actually going on.

One of my favorite scenes in this was when Sebastian gets kicked out and meets some women at a bar. And before that, he finds a cat. The biggest problem regarding the party and the fortune teller, though, is that Lizzy was going and is now missing, either from being taken or “running away”. It's awful.

This volume was a lot of fun. A nice mystery going, with some good humor mixed in. We get a pop culture element, as we meet an idol group, which is odd in the setting. Mostly I'm worried about Lizzy, though, because I love her and don't like the glimpses we've seen regarding her. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Hmmm... not quite sure where this new arc is going but I'm certainly intrigued! Any my baby Soma made a, very brief, appearance! Wish we could see more of him again.

okay, this one's intriguing again. the bloodwork arc seems so unfathomable right now but I'm excited to see where this one goes!

Absolute best arc so far. The art is superb, old characters are returning, main characters are being fleshed out, new costumes, rich dialogue (or as much as the translation can give me), interesting mystery, and a good amount of ambiguity.
