Goodreads Synopsis:
Their
elaborate schoolroom deception at an end, Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his
peerless manservant, Sebastian, finally hit upon the truth behind the
incident of the vanished students at Weston College. Just what tragic
steps did the elites of the school, spurred on by their overwhelming
sense of justice, take to stamp out the bullying running rife in the
halls of their institution?! What began as a seemingly simple case of
missing persons goes round and round, spinning out of control into a
great menace, one capable of perplexing even a devil...
Review:
This volume
concludes the boarding school storyline, rather fittingly. School boys, you know?
Much more violent and devoted than you’d think. Although it does include a
decision from Sebastian that was quite sweet. His and Ciel’s relationship is so
oddly nice, to me.
There’s a fun
chapter in the middle of this volume, where we see Ciel thinking business with
Sebastian’s help, as well as some shopping with the servants. These little
chapters to break up the seriousness are so nice; the humor is just so
excellent in this series.
Then we get started
on the next plotline, which seems oddly reminiscent of one I remember in the
anime. The group moves to a small town, where a possible werewolf curse is
killing cocky villagers. That story is just getting started as the volume ends,
so I look forward to seeing what happens next.
I just love this
series. These storylines aren’t really getting my blood going, but I still
purely enjoy it. I don’t think it’s possible for me to give this series
anything less than a four at this point, either. It’s just so good.
