Yen Press and Square Enix’s MangaUp! website release the manga in English under the name Black Butler. Yen Press Published the manga’s 33rd volume in June 2024, and it describes the story below:
Just a stone’s throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom, its master one Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria’s faithful servant . . . and a slip of a twelve-year-old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler, Sebastian, is ever at his side, ready to carry out the young master’s wishes. Whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark secrets of London’s underbelly, there is practically nothing Sebastian cannot do. In fact, one might even say Sebastian is too good to be true . . . or at least, he is too good to be human . . .
The Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) manga was adapted into an anime of the same name in 2008, and it has since received various anime sequels, spinoffs, and OVAs, as well as a live-action film. The newest TV anime adaptation titled Kuro Shitsuji: Midori no Majo Hen (Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc) will premiere on April 5th, 2025, on the Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV and Tochigi TV channels, and it will be streamed on ABEMA.
