The depth of story develop just gets better with each volume of this series. the detailed drawing is still there as well. We discover the evil behind the circus, and also finally start to get some history on Ceil and the Phamtomhive family. It is a dark and intriguing family tree alright! We also get to see Ceil as a small child, with two eyes, and meet his father. How they died though, the whole family?!?!? The Butler does some dark things, very dark oh my-that is why this is for adults I feel. I did gasp at some of the story line, horrified that Ceil just watched children die in front of him--the Queen's mission was for him the save them. This series is now truly starting to show it's dark, horror side. Very dark indeed-one I an eager to continue-I guess in 2012-since the next volume is not even available for pre-order yet. Interesting story developments revealed about the circus, Ciel, and the new villain. We now know who is kidnapping the aristocrat's children. I still feel kinda bad for Ciel that he sees the world as the "robbers" and the "robbed". I hope over the next few volumes he can see that there is a grey zone, rather than holding on to the good vs. bad idea. I find it funny he tries to be adult, but holds on to that childish idea that your either good or bad (and not worth trusting). I mean how will he ever be able to accept other people in his life without some sense of trust for his actual friends? Hope to see more in the next volume.
Do You like book Black Butler, Vol. 07 (2011)?
This one was quite addicting to read. The Circus arc is probably my favorite yet of all the volumes.
