#also me trying to not spoil the plot twist when i'm fairly sure you've probably already seen it on my blog

[achairwithapandaonit]

tell me about black butler because I saw the snippets in eeby deeby and on your blog and I am intrigued

Was it these in eeby deeby lol?

Cause yeah. That's a fair thing to tempt you. I hurried to screenshot them when those chapters came out and have had them for possible a year or two years now.

Anywayyyy we're ignoring finny for a moment to explain the actual story to you (I'm sorry finny I love you).

Basically it's about a kid called ciel phantomhive who's looking for revenge on the people who killed his family and sold him to a cult a few years ago with the help of a demon called sebastian who he made a deal with who is now his butler. He's in a position known as the queen's watchdog, which basically means he goes and investigates crimes/things that are concerning her, and usually these missions are what starts off an arc. There's an overarching plot twist that everything builds up to that you don't really notice till it happens, but if you plan on reading it then I won't spoil that for you cause its actually really clever.

Anyway, it's a really dark series and it's still ongoing. Like, yeah, GREAT found family with the phantomhive servants (and there's a very good reason ciel keeps servants who are detrimental to their jobs that you just might have to wait and find out) and ciel and sebastian, but very dark. It'll probably end in tragedy. Part of the story is that ciel DOES owe sebastian his soul when he finally gets his revenge, so it's hard to see a happy ending.

If you did want to watch the anime I think only about 7 (?? I think I've seen that number thrown around. Its to the end of the jack the ripper case) of the episodes are canon from season 1, and then book of circus, book of murder, and book of atlantic are all very good adaptions from the manga. The rest of it isn't animated, tho the manga only really gets better from there on out. The art style has progressed A LOT from when the manga started, and so has the quality of the story as a whole.
