Black Butler, Vol. 23: Volume 23 (BLACK BUTLER GN)

And now I have to wait until the next volume! NOOO!This one brought back characters, reintroduced yet another hot one (not that I'm complaining of course), and left me wanting more. I just wish I hadn't read through them so fast *sigh*

An excellent edition to my black butler collection!!

The plot, maybe not the most original there is, but its handling is amazing in my opinion. The art is very beautiful. Character development is solid! The pace is just right, not lagging or rushing through events, which makes the series a pleasure to read!

Some parts of this volume I felt didn't always keep with the characters' previous actions/thoughts but overall it's still very good. Artwork is great, also.

Arrived in good condition and an all around good book in the series.

This was a wonderful installment of the Black Butler series. I am so sad I am caught up on this series because now I have to wait so long for a new book! I enjoyed this book a ton and it was so much fun to read.The Queen contacts Ciel because a strange gathering has been taking place at a music hall. The gathering allows people from all classes and lavishly offer free food and drink. The Queen thinks it is suspicious. When Lizzie’s brother brings her to the gathering she refuses to leave. Now Lizzie’s brother is seeking Ciel’s help getting her to come home.On top of all that Scotland Yard has had a rash of mysterious corpses appearing and they are also asking for Ciel’s help. Lizzie’s situation (along with the Queen’s request and Scotland Yard’s pleas) give Ciel even more incentive to solve this mystery as quick as possible. This book is just the first part of the mystery and sets things up beautifully.I continue to enjoy the beautiful and easy-to-follow illustration in this series. I love these characters; they are just so unique and creative. I also really enjoyed the addition of Blavat, the fortuneteller who enters the story (Toboso where do you come up with these wonderfully crazy characters?!).Overall an outstanding continuation of this series. I loved it to pieces and can’t wait for the next volume to come out. I would recommend the whole series to those who enjoy historical paranormal manga.

A wonderful read once again. My Ciel got poked. How dare they touch his skin. He and Sebastian will get to the bottom of this like they always do.

Finished reading last night! Another great installment with a new story arc but some of your favorite past characters. I'm a fan of Edward, so I enjoyed seeing him again, especially as the doting big brother to Lizzie, who was in her more serious form for this volume. Bring on the next volume!

Another great entry in the series! This volume is the start of a new arc, and introduces a very interesting new character. I can't wait for the next volume!

My daughter loves this series add was so thrilled to get the new volume 23 for Christmas! Arrived quickly and was packaged well.
