Black Butler
黒執事
Kuroshitsuji
In the shadowy depths of the English countryside lies the Phantomhive estate, a place notorious for its cold and merciless reputation as the "Queen's Watchdog" and the leader of London's criminal underworld. Following a tragic incident that claims the lives of the Earl and his wife, their young son, Ciel, unexpectedly assumes the role of the new Earl. Though initially perceived as merely a child with peculiar servants, it soon becomes clear that defying Ciel and his enigmatic butler, Sebastian, is unwise. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, Black Butler chronicles the duo as they navigate numerous mysteries and threats that plague England and endanger the Queen, all the while piecing together the mystery surrounding the death of Ciel's parents.
