Black Butler: Season One, Part 1 (Limited Edition)
Amazon.com
The year is 1888; Ciel Phantomhive, the adolescent heir to a vast British estate and lofty title, has struck a deal that binds the demon Sebastian to him as his butler. And he needs the help: his other four servants are knockabout clowns who make the Keystone Kops look effective. Based on the manga by Yana Toboso, Black Butler (2008) is a weird mixture of Gothic horror, bishonen fantasy, and slapstick comedy. Ciel describes himself as "the Queen's Guard Dog," and he solves mysterious, often supernatural crimes -- but Sebastian does all the work. The first episodes involve Jack the Ripper, and the still-unsolved case of the notorious mass murderer turns out to concern an effete, renegade Grim Reaper. Another adventure involves a sort of werewolf.

Product Description
Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Together, they'll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil. They're a rare sight, these two: the Butler who dismembers with dazzling cutlery - and the Young Master who carries the devil's marking. Rest assured that wherever they may be headed, it'll be one hell of a ride.
