I should give the anime a try. I don’t often dabble in anime, but if it comes with a high enough recommendation, or I enjoy the manga enough, I sometimes try it. That might be what I need to boost my interest level in Black Butler.

To be fair, I am curious about the second volume because of the whole demon thing. Demons are a serious weakness of mine, no matter what the context. I just love when they step into a story.

I actually got into Kuroshitsuji from the anime, so reading the manga is particularly hard for me since the anime had so much going for it (if you can’t stomach the manga I’d suggest switching to the anime for a while, at least for the first couple episodes, since it starts to change from the manga after that), but even so Kuroshitsuji is still one of my favorites. I don’t particularly care for the servants either myself, but you also discover more about them later on, too. I always wondered why Ciel kept such horrible servants, but then you find out.
Also, Grell and Undertaker. That is all.

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the review!

Heh, thanks, it’s good to know it moves away from the jokier servants. I thought it might, they seemed like a kind of convenient device to lean on while the meat of the story was revealed.

I haven’t tried Pandora Hearts. It sounds excellent though, thanks for pointing it out. I’ll probably wait for a couple more volumes to come out before I pick it up.

Nice review. :)

We share this weakness. Don’t worry; it gets better as the chapters turn away from the other servants and into the larger world. Soon you won’t have to feel as guilty about liking it.

I find myself wondering what you think of Pandora Hearts, maybe because they’re both in Yen+ . . .
