[Review] Black Butler

A manga famous for the line "Akumade shitsuji desukara" (悪魔で 執事ですから). "Akumade" can be interpreted in two ways. First, "Akuma" (demon) + "de shitsuji desukara" (because I'm a butler) -> "Because I'm a demon butler." Second, "Akumade" (purely/merely) + "shitsuji desukara" (because I'm a butler) -> "I'm merely a butler." Combining these, it becomes "I'm a demon, but I'm just a butler." This means Sebastian never lied. He is indeed a demon, and he is also a butler. Personally, after Ryohgo Narita's Baccano!, this is one of the works I desperately hope gets an ending. Ms. Toboso... other works are great, but... Black Butler... you love it, don't you...? It makes me so sad that Baccano! seems hopeless... It's a feast for the eyes with many handsome male characters, and most importantly, as the story progresses, the secrets about the Phantomhive family are revealed, leading to the shocking twist: "Ciel... you... weren't Ciel after all...!" Watching it might give you a severe case of chuunibyou, but it's only possible because it's Ciel, so let's all keep our inner dark flames (kuroi honoo no ryuu) dormant.
