I still know nothing of Cricket, after two volumes about it. Also tired of the zombies, enough with them already.

Ho adorato questo manga alla follia, questo manga non mi deluderà mai.
La trama è così intricata e ti tiene con il fiato sospeso fino alla fine.
Adoro troppo Ciel e Sebastian, come prevedibile. Non vedo l'ora di leggere anche gli altri volumi.

Buen giro al final. Tengo un crush poco sano con The Undertaker.

You may not like it, but this is what peak dark academia looks like.
Mostly JK, but I do find it funny that the cricket arc really hit my personal favorite dark academia beats. I've clearly been into this genre much longer than I thought....

The Cricket match is a hilarious example of Ciel's ability to manipulate the rules of any game that he finds himself playing. I know literally nothing about cricket, so I admit to finding myself at a loss on occasion and wondering whether Ciel's dirty play would be feasible on other occasions.
I do admit I am curious what it is that turned the p4 into murderers. Those stakes seem high for school status machinations.

Wow so I don't really like this story arc about infiltrating the college. It is super low and not really grabbing my interest...Hopefully the story picks up again in the next volume!

A star off for the BORING Cricket bits, but we get back to the plot in this volume, so it's much better than the last installment.

Sometimes it's just fun to enjoy morally gray stories.
Black Butler is a dark and stylistic tale of revenge seeking and the lengths one will go when they have nothing left to lose. Set in the backdrop of Victorian England this series actually fits in the detective genre with it's very young protagonist working to solve mysteries with his not so normal butler and house servants. Aside from the main mystery, Ciel also works for the Queen of England, policing the underground element of society. What should be a dark and depressing story is actually surprisingly light and even comical at times. Thanks to a whole cast of colorful fleshed out characters, a surprisingly inventive setting and plot points that seem to come out of no where, I'm still reading the manga to this day as each chapter comes out, excited to see what crazy story line is coming next and how it'll be resolved with Ciel and Sebastian's unorthodox methods. That's not to say this series is perfect, there is one very large glaring flaw that I will get into shortly.
