Those unfamiliar with the anime series Black Butler can get a head start by reading the manga, according to Comicbook.com. Japanese artist Yana Toboso (Black Butler: Book of Murder, Black Butler Vol. 30) first wrote the manga in September 2006. Afterwards, it moved to Monthly GFantasy, and in October 2008, the TV company A-1 Pictures was the one who created the first season of the anime, released in 2010. Since then, the anime has had various stage and live-action adaptations for fans in Japan and the other two seasons. So, everyone’s eyes were set on Black Butler when the anime came out with a fourth season.
For those interested in beginning to watch the anime, Comicbook.com has shared the official synopsis to read below:
“Just a stone’s throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom, 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 is practically nothing Sebastian cannot do. In fact, one might even say Sebastian is too good to be true… or at least, he is too good to be human…”
The first four seasons of Black Butler are available on Crunchyroll.
