A review by mandalor3960
Black Butler, Vol. 14 by Yana Toboso
2.0
The progress of this series seems to have me pleased more so in every ensuing volume. The further revealment of Sebastian and Ciel's origin story was well done but I was not too in favor of Sebastian's personality being so independent and not as subordinate as I had previously thought. Sebastian's mortality that is presented adds another depth to him. The ending of the arc seemed rather inconclusive.
Rating Update 4/5/2019- 4 stars to 2 stars. After having read a synopsis to refresh myself, I recognized that I rated the volume too high because of one chapter within the volume: the flashback to Ciel and Sebastian's origin story. The ending to the Luxury Liner arc, thee Easter Egg Hunt chapter, and the beginning of the Public Schools arc were very dull.
Update August 2, 2019
With the adoption of my new rating system, a two star rating is befitting. The original review and rating update from April 5, 2019, conform to the new rating system. Having read the synopsis of each chapter in this volume, I have conjured up visually certain scenes but cannot remember how I felt about the volume with certainty. I do recall being bored with the sections mentioned in the rating update. The only sections that do not reach a two star rating are the scenes of Sebastian's flashback to the continuation of Ciel and his origin story, which earns a three star. It's really just an alright volume, not to the point of dislike in any section.
