I f***ing love this manga! First I watched both seasons of the anime, and the end of the second season left me restless to know what happened next. So I read the manga and I'm glad that I watched the anime before I read the manga. The anime leaves out so much, and has changed the story line so much so that in the beginning I was a little annoyed because I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about the anime. Instead I found that the manga has so many more nuances and I love the manga. Normally I know that a movie is rarely better than the book I shouldn't have been surprised, but I found myself being so and feel silly for it. I'll love this manga and it is one of my favorites, and with all the mangas I've read over time it's saying something! Bought on a whim while perusing amazon, I now really want to continue reading. This was a fun story that at first makes it seem as if the butler is just a butler with special talents. The other servants I found annoying - the klutzy screaming maid, the rough cook, the gardener, and Young Master's fiancee. Oy. But the interaction between the butler and young master was quite intriguing, especially in the last chapter. The young master is only a 12 year old...how did he come about this covenant? I need to add the rest to my amazon.com wishlist and start snatching them up to see. Looks like I have 17 more volumes to go!
What do You think about Black Butler, Tome 1 (2009)?
The first half was nice, but the second made no sense and was hard to follow.
