Originally a manga by Yana Toboso, Black Butler follows Ciel Phantomhive, a teenage aristocrat whose well-known family solves high-profile crimes. Ciel works with his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, who is actually a demon that has made a pact with the boy: he’ll be more than happy to help find those who murdered Ciel’s parents... in exchange for his soul, of course.
The TV anime adaptation began in 2008 with second and third seasons airing in 2010 and 2014. It continued with a two-part OVA, Book of Murder, in 2014 and a film, Book of the Atlantic, in 2017.
Black Butler Season 4 will air in Japan from April 13, 2024.
