Summary

As high society's social calendar opens up and the Season draws to a
close， London is gripped by fear。 Someone has taken to stalking women
of the night and painting the town red。。。in their blood。 The name on
everyone's lips seems to be "Jack the Ripper" - and as a result， the
name on Queen Victoria's lips is Phantomhive。 Summoned to London to
clean up the mess created by this madman， Ciel Phantomhive arrives with
Sebastian， his extraordinary butler， at his side to pour him tea，
polish his silver， and。。。investigate a serial killer。 And with the aid
（and occasional interference） of a few of the Phantomhive house's
numerous acquaintances， little stands in the way of the young earl
getting to the bottom of this mystery。 However， one question
remains。。。can he handle the shattering truth behind it？

Megan Lowde ，

And this reread continues to be a disappointment。 Honestly， different imaginings on what went on behind the whole Jack the Ripper thing tend to vary greatly on how good they are， and I've never really been satisfied by any of them。 This， of course， was no exception。 This isn't really doing anything for me， and I don't get the appeal of Sebastian。 Like yes， he is conventionally attractive， a demon butler and he can fight， but he's also pretty generic and boring。 Ciel isn't really much better at t And this reread continues to be a disappointment。 Honestly， different imaginings on what went on behind the whole Jack the Ripper thing tend to vary greatly on how good they are， and I've never really been satisfied by any of them。 This， of course， was no exception。 This isn't really doing anything for me， and I don't get the appeal of Sebastian。 Like yes， he is conventionally attractive， a demon butler and he can fight， but he's also pretty generic and boring。 Ciel isn't really much better at this point， and I'm hoping that will change once we find out more about his backstory， but things aren't really looking up as of yet。 。。。more

Volume Two of Black Butler opens up to a simple， normal day in the Phantomhive household， with Sebastian and the everyone else trying to get the house nice for some guests that were coming over the next day。 Of course， with a whole bunch of shenanigans happening around the house， and with Tanaka drinking his tea， how can the party go off without a hitch？？ It's up to Sebastian to put the party together and make sure it looks really nice for the party tomorrow。 And then the investigation about the Volume Two of Black Butler opens up to a simple， normal day in the Phantomhive household， with Sebastian and the everyone else trying to get the house nice for some guests that were coming over the next day。 Of course， with a whole bunch of shenanigans happening around the house， and with Tanaka drinking his tea， how can the party go off without a hitch？？ It's up to Sebastian to put the party together and make sure it looks really nice for the party tomorrow。 And then the investigation about the famous killings around Whitechapel， which， to tell you the truth， oddly facinated me， mostly because yes， it happened in the Victorian Era （1888， to be exact） and also because I wondered what got into this Jack the Ripper's head when he killed those sex workers。。。anyway， I liked that they went around， trying to find out who did it， even went to see the Undertaker， who had to have a laugh before he even answered the question。 When Sebastian made him laugh （how， I wanna know）， that's when the Undertaker told Ciel what happened to the sex worker's body parts。 After hearing the grim answer， Ciel told Sebastian to round up a list of suspects that could be doing all of the killing， and the person they thought was doing it was the Viscount Duritt。 So they went to one of the Viscount's parties （more of， they had to sneak in the party to catch him in the act） and， well， Elizabeth was there。。。so you know Ciel （dressed as a girl） had to run off each time she saw him。 Ciel did have a moment alone with the Viscount， only for him to get knocked out by some drugs and then had to be blindfolded by the Viscount to be sold in a auction。 But thank god Ciel called on Sebastian to save him， because the next morning， JACK THE RIPPER STRIKES AGAIN。 How？？？Well that's a really good question。。。Because while they were looking again， they found another one of Jack's supposed victims and went to Whitechapel to see if they can finally catch the one called Jack the Ripper。。。only to be stunned to find out that it's actually a grim reaper named Grell。。。and MADAME RED？！ I was shocked to even read that （though I've seen the anime and it shocked me then as it shocked me now）。 Grell appearing as her true self has to be my favorite part of this manga， and her with her death scythe is pretty damned cool。 。。。more

Why couldn’t the anime have even the littlest smidge of world building the manga does？

Mladoria ，

Un second tome toujours aussi drôle que le premier dans les interactions des personnages， leurs dialogues ping pong et les pensées de Sebastian。On en découvre d'ailleurs un peu plus sur sa véritable nature et sur le lien avec le jeune Ciel。 La fine équipe se lance dans une enquête effrénée pour démasquer le célèbre Jack l'Éventreur。Encore une fois embarquée dans cette histoire。 Je vais poursuivre cette saga avec beaucoup de plaisir。 Un second tome toujours aussi drôle que le premier dans les interactions des personnages， leurs dialogues ping pong et les pensées de Sebastian。On en découvre d'ailleurs un peu plus sur sa véritable nature et sur le lien avec le jeune Ciel。 La fine équipe se lance dans une enquête effrénée pour démasquer le célèbre Jack l'Éventreur。Encore une fois embarquée dans cette histoire。 Je vais poursuivre cette saga avec beaucoup de plaisir。 。。。more

The Phantomhive group take on Jack the Ripper。 This manga is interesting。 It has a very solid vibe， I like the art and the use of darkness。 I can only imagine how cool this looks animated！ It just isn’t quite entertaining enough to keep me super invested in what happens next。 However， I totally get why this would be a hit for others。

i really loved this vol sfm！！！ ， so many details， especially those reflections of the era are made so beautifully that it makes you lost in the manga and great plot OMG i really don't know how i could wait for the other volume as i haven't ordered yet，， btw the way i fall for sebastian in every min，， wait is that even healthy？？？？ i really loved this vol sfm！！！ ， so many details， especially those reflections of the era are made so beautifully that it makes you lost in the manga and great plot OMG i really don't know how i could wait for the other volume as i haven't ordered yet，， btw the way i fall for sebastian in every min，， wait is that even healthy？？？？ 。。。more

that’s me ，

I find this volume two even better than the previous one。 The scenario is becoming more and more interesting。 I have to admit that I like Sebastian very much 。。。 no but I'm sorry but he is REALLY beautiful。 After that， I'll say that almost all manga characters are sexy。 I find this volume two even better than the previous one。 The scenario is becoming more and more interesting。 I have to admit that I like Sebastian very much 。。。 no but I'm sorry but he is REALLY beautiful。 After that， I'll say that almost all manga characters are sexy。 。。。more

Brenna Regan ，

Yay， I'm so glad we have a plot going here！ I love the Jack the Ripper story arc， especially being able to see Grelle for the first time。 I love Yana's art style so much！！ I had also forgotten about the translation notes at the end; I've already learned so much from them。 Yay， I'm so glad we have a plot going here！ I love the Jack the Ripper story arc， especially being able to see Grelle for the first time。 I love Yana's art style so much！！ I had also forgotten about the translation notes at the end; I've already learned so much from them。 。。。more

eleni ，

yeah no。 the sexualisation of ciel made me uncomfortable， particularly the weird scenes with him and sebastian （namely page 112） ？ like he’s a child ？？ i won’t be continuing with the series because of this

Tanya ，

3。5？

Mars ，

The author is still clearly developing her art style as the story start to grow some background。 Nevertheless， we start to have some inkling of what is to come。

Sue Smith ，

Unfortunately I read this out of sequence， so I knew what to expect and thus the surprise element was gone。 But that being said， I enjoyed it none the less！ It is interesting to see how one book leads to the next and having read book 1 then book 3， it really becomes apparent。Regardless， the Black Butler steps up and is exemplary at demonstrating serving his masters requirements。 His research is top notch。。。。 and his dance moves are second only to avoiding the scythe of death。 Not to mention his Unfortunately I read this out of sequence， so I knew what to expect and thus the surprise element was gone。 But that being said， I enjoyed it none the less！ It is interesting to see how one book leads to the next and having read book 1 then book 3， it really becomes apparent。Regardless， the Black Butler steps up and is exemplary at demonstrating serving his masters requirements。 His research is top notch。。。。 and his dance moves are second only to avoiding the scythe of death。 Not to mention his cooking skills。I do need to find a black butler， it I do say so myself。 。。。more

All I remember happening in this volume （since I read this quite some time ago） is corset scene :>

Ça commence à devenir intéressant 👀

I basically knew what will happen in this volume because I've seen the anime already。 But still， the beautiful art style and compelling storyline kept me from reading it。 Though I was surprised with the twist when I was watching the anime。 The Jack the Ripper arc was definitely not my favorite but it was certainly one of the saddest arcs。 I basically knew what will happen in this volume because I've seen the anime already。 But still， the beautiful art style and compelling storyline kept me from reading it。 Though I was surprised with the twist when I was watching the anime。 The Jack the Ripper arc was definitely not my favorite but it was certainly one of the saddest arcs。 。。。more

Sheridan Kunde ，

We get a lot more inhuman vibes from Sebastian in this book， more traits that are indicative of what he is。 We also get just a little less silliness （I think？）。 I loved the Jack the Ripper mystery storyline！We got to meet Ciel's aunt which was interesting though I'm not entirely sure it gives us any much more insight into Ciel's character。 We get a lot more inhuman vibes from Sebastian in this book， more traits that are indicative of what he is。 We also get just a little less silliness （I think？）。 I loved the Jack the Ripper mystery storyline！We got to meet Ciel's aunt which was interesting though I'm not entirely sure it gives us any much more insight into Ciel's character。 。。。more

mój ulubiony arc z kubą rozpruwaczem。 ✨

Kiara ，

2。75 stars。Wasn’t as enjoyable as the first volume， especially with the hella weird sexual undertones with Sebastian and Ciel。 Also didn’t really care about the Jack the Ripper element。 Maybe because I’ve seen that storyline absolutely beat to DEATH over the years。 The reveals at the end were cool though。

Tresya ，

this story is really fantastic

Lady Cassiopeia ，

Die Black Butler- Reihe braucht sehr lange um an Zugwind zu gewinnen und wirklich spannend zu werden， wenn man solange dabei bleibt， lohnt es sich auch。

I don't know if I will keep reading。 The art style is beautiful， but the word layouts are so hard to read and the plots aren't really my style either。 I don't know if I will keep reading。 The art style is beautiful， but the word layouts are so hard to read and the plots aren't really my style either。 。。。more
