Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji)

borrowed random manga from GB, one of them being "Black Butler".

remembered to post backtrack on a certain scene from looooong ago.
remembered to write how much this manga caught me off guard with it's real theme.
first, keep in mind that the covers look like this:

and the characters mostly look like this:

see, we first start out with this oh, it's some posh, costume-y, victorian era 'serial cantik' type of manga..oh the author is a woman. that explains the very pretty designed characters and elaborate details--my gosh, the food.

ugh, must prepare for some...unwanted themes in the future. with the level of suggested intimacy between Ciel and Sabastian, we could see where this is going.dammit, why.

ah. skillful-serious, but humorous! oh so it's that type of 'serial cantik'.

wait, what? there's actually a serious serious plot here..?

whoa, what the--

WTF, crott?? actual GORE??!?!

holy crap, this is AWESOME.
i do love my costumes, so yeah.

yay, new manga!
