Sebastian is the butler from hell - literally, he's a demon who's catchphrase is 'I am one hell of a butler'- who will make you cake, show off amazing tea pouring skills and kill any enemies in amusing and ironic ways. Volume 2 follows Ciel and Sebastian investigating the jack the ripper killings, ending in the beginning of a fight between jack the ripper and Sebastian that is continued in volume 3. The action doesn’t really get going properly until half way through, but when it does, it is rendered perfectly. The first half of volume 1 is simply introductions, showing the servants being useless and Sebastian being forced to sort them out. Review: I won’t normally review two books in one review, but seeing as not much really happens in volume one, I m going to so you get the full idea of this manga. He's almost too good to be true.or at least, too good to be human. Ever at Ciel's side, it seems there's little Sebastian can't do, whether it's saving a dinner party gone awry or probing the dark secrets of London's underbelly. It would be a lot for the young boy to handle were it not for his faithful butler, Sebastian. Summary from Goodreads: When a terrible fire claims his parents, Ciel Phantomhive must step up as the head of his father's company and as Earl Phantomhive. The 5th volume comes out in english in may.
