About Kuroshitsuji
Square Enix began publishing the manga in September 2006 in G Fantasy. The story received an anime adaptation by A-1 Pictures in October 2028.
The manga depicts the life of Ciel Phantomhive, a thirteen-year-old boy who became the head of a noble English family that owns a toy and candy empire. And now he acts directly under the orders of the queen.
Ciel has a butler named Sebastian Michaelis, who performs all the tasks required by his master. Ciel and Sebastian solve problems that trouble the English royalty, whether supernatural or not.
Anime chronology
The anime had some issues with the audience because it didn't faithfully follow the manga. The second season of Kuroshitsuji was a completely original arc for the anime. From the third season onwards, the story returned to following the original storyline.
With this, the anime began to be divided into arcs, namely, Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus, Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder , and Kuroshitsuji: Book of the Atlantic.
In addition to the series, the anime has several OVAs, including: His Butler – Performer from the first season; Ciel in Wonderland, Welcome to the Phantomhive's, The Making of Kuroshitsuji II, The Threads of the Spider, and The Story of Will the Reaper from the second season.
