I take it all back. Any and every foul word I ever uttered or thought while reading this. I take every single piece of it back right now. I absolutely love the Phantomhive servants! Ciel is clever and cold, but I adore him none the less. Sebastian is... growing on me. Hard to really learn to like a demon. But back to the servants. Most FANTASTIC beings ever!!!! Even if the mysteries are not your cup of tea. Read this simply for the shock value of the true potential of the Phantomhive servants. They do not disappoint. Ciel has a new assignment from Queen Victoria. There are children going missing right after a certain circus comes to town. He and Sebastian have been tasked with finding out if the circus is involved. This ends up being a rather hysterical assignment. Sebastian’s cat fanaticism runs rampant at getting to meet a tiger. Much to Ciel’s horror, Sebastian not only gets a job with the circus but gets him one too. Ciel, a pampered rich boy in spite his horrible past, is pretty much hopeless at performing. Sebastian, on the other hand, meets his match in a Grim Reaper who wants him dead.And everyone in this circus have some kind of issue, at least two are missing limbs, replaced by ceramic prostheses (including a skeletal hand that some short alchemist would probably covet if he could convince his mechanic to do it). Sebastian and Ciel manage to get into one ridiculous situation after another until the cliffhanger ending. This one is just plain fun.
What do You think about Black Butler, Vol. 06 (2011)?
What in the world? A circus? I felt so bad for Ciel. Sebastian cracks me up with his good looks.
