review 1: OH MY GOD! Je m'attendais à avoir ce genre d'histoire dans ce tome. Je le savais! Je me l'étais bien dit que vu qu'il y avait un bateau dans l'histoire on va surement avoir droit à un remake de Titanic. Et quel remake de Titanic on a eu ! C'était le Titanic zombifié qu'on a là. L...

review 1: Genial este tomo, con el final del arco del Weston College: impresionante nuevo enfrentamiento entre demonio y shinigami. Algunos actos tienen consecuencias que deben asumirse. Aunque la razón de haber cometido un crimen sea por lograr algo bueno, el fin no justifica los medios. ...

review 1: my obsession for Sebastian just keeps on growing! I gave it only four stars because I don't understand what japanese honourifics are doing in late 19th century Britain. Especially used by an indian in late 19th century Britain! I understand that this book is originally Japanese, ...

review 1: OOOOOH A re-spin on Jack the ripper! I am particularly interested in England's more gruesome history so seeing Jack the ripper interpreted into this was a real treat.It's pretty early days but what I am enjoying most about this manga is that even though it's a gothic manga with a...

review 1: I find, as I read further into the series, that I am appreciating the tiny notes and nuances more and more, even though they are difficult to read with these old eyes. They are like the fine lines in a piece of artwork. You can enjoy the work of art without studying the the parts...

review 1: hmm... I was wondering if they were going to add more context into this series. But unfortunately, now the context is -out-of-context (get it?) in the respect that the titanic sunk 1912, after queen Victoria's death in 1901. Luckily, this is a fictional story so I guess it doesn'...

review 1: This wasn't my favourite Black Butler book. I was getting really tired of the Sherlock Holmes-y storyline and I'm glad it was finally put to rest in this book. I'm not sure what my opinion is on the story that began in the second half of this book. I'm still a fan but this def...

review 1: Contains a few spoilers.This book didn't strike me as well as the first two but it was still really good. Jack the Ripper may have been Madame Red but Grelle was quite the instigator and it was quite hilarious to see him beaten and then later dragged away. The funeral was beautif...

review 1: I'll be honest. I'm really reading this as an emotional release from other series. I am focused on Ciel as a character and have very little interest in any of the other characters. I just need something where I'm not attached to the characters. That is what this series is doi...

review 1: While I enjoyed the last few volumes of Black Butler and looked forward to reading on, I can't help but be disappointed with the sixth volume. I didn't enjoy the new story arc at all (centering around the circus that's new in town) and really can't wait for the arc to finish or g...
