A review by vixenreader
Black Butler, Vol. 8 by Yana Toboso

adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

The last comedic chapter proves to cause whiplash, but this volume has a thrilling opening and an intense conclusion. It is unreal how Sebastian can manage to be the Butler G.O.A.T. for so long.
