Black Butler, Vol. 8 by Yana Toboso

5.0

The Circus Arc ends with this volume and we get to learn more about the Phantomhive employees, aka. one of the reasons I LOVE this arc. It's really sad we didn't get this in the anime until WAY later when they finally decided to animate the actual manga cases. Some of my favorite moments TBH, but it's also mixed in with other histories (that I wasn't a huge fan of, sorry side characters) and ends with lighthearted clothes fitting, which WOW, can Nina make ME clothes?!

Considering the other cases mainly took up only two volumes, this one feels like we're FINALLY getting the chance for a breather, and wow, what a case it was. There were also new characters introduced and a few ominous scenes I'd forgotten! What will happen now that Ciel didn't *exactly* do as the Queen asked?
