Black Butler 20 finished!
And gawd DAMN! The twists and turns in this one! I mean, for sure there’s been plenty of twists and turns in all the story-lines so far, but I think this one took the cake!
Not gonna spoil anything, so this review will probably be short. Just safe to say that Ciel is coming back to himself thanks to Sebastian who goes ALL OUT demon/devil on him! GAWD DAMN! I LOVED IT! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!! We need more of Sebastian showing off how much of a devil he really is…
Finney, Mey-Rin, Snake, Mr Tanaka and Balto are just awesome all around. They are SO DIFFERENT as people, but they are still good friends and they all have in common that they love Ciel and all want the best for him. That is quite clear here as well, and I love that so much with them. I do have a soft spot for the old man Mr Tanaka. We don’t see much off him, but when we do he steals the scenes he is in.
But none of all that above can take away the extreme plot twists in this one! I just feel SO SO BAD for Lady Sullivan! Her entire life, everything she’s believed in… Geezes… If that’s not child-abuse, I don’t know what is. Poor, poor girl. I hope she’ll go with Ciel and Sebastian, because anything is better than this. Such an elaborate scheme they created for YEARS just to abuse her intelligence. I mean… My goodness.
And, of course, it ended on a cliffhanger of DOOM! Just because I’ll be taking a bit of a break from these. Oh well.
The artwork in this is amazing, it really is. Toboso is a great artist for sure!
So, now I’ve read more than half of these and if this twisty volume is anything to go by, I’ll look forward to the rest of them!
