![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Picked this up because the anime is super popular and I had to read the manga before watching the anime. I'm not very impressed by this volume. Hopefully, the next volumes will be good. I have a confession. I watched the anime first, and then decided to read the manga (so I was a little biased going in). Black Butler is about a 12-year-old boy (later 13) named Ciel Phantomhive whose parents are murdered and he decides to make a contract with a demon to avenge his parents’ death. The contract stipulates that the demon (Sebastian) will perform any command given to him by his master (Ciel) while working as the boy’s butler, and in return, once Ciel’s parents have been avenged, Sebastian gets to devour Ciel’s soul. Complicating things is the fact that Ciel is also an Earl, and as such, inherited his father’s obligation of being Queen Victoria’s Guard Dog―the one the queen calls on to solve more… delicate problems (like Jack the Ripper). What I liked: the two main characters are amazing. Ciel is such a complex character, and Sebastian makes you want your own demon butler. The well-structured storylines are intricate and full of small details, essential to a good manga. What I did not like: not much. Although, it does end on a cliffhanger, which I am not a super fan of, but I know it’s typical in series manga. Warning: this is not for a young middle grade audience. I would put it in the young adult category (maybe older middle grade). 5 out of 5 stars I'm not a huge anime or manga fan, but Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) has always been my favourite. I enjoyed the manga much more than the anime because of the plot details and whatnot were not included in the show. The illustrations are amazing, as well as the story line. Yana Toboso is an incredible manga artist and writer. I am definitely looking forward to reading and catching up with this manga and anime! Can't get enough. I feel that this should be on the charts for one of the best manga ever. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Just a stone's throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom and its master, one Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria's faithful servant ... and a slip of a twelve-year-old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler, Sebastian, is ever at his side, ready to carry out the young master's wishes. And whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark secrets of London's underbelly, there apparently is nothing Sebastian cannot do. In fact, one might even say Sebastian is too good to be true .. or at least, too good to be human ..."--p. [4] of cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This was weird and quirky and took awhile to get into, but I liked it.
It's about - well, a butler. A larger than life, kick-ass butler who surely can't be human, can he? He fought off gun-toting Italian gangsters with forks and table knives while hanging from the chandelier. . . . His young master is the head of the Phantomhive family and it takes place in an alternate Victorian England that seems to be mixing up the timeline a little bit.
The rest of the staff provides the comic relief but that was the only thing I found a bit distracting.
Definitely reading on in this series! (
