Sinopsis of Kuroshitsuji

Young Ciel Phantomhive is known as the “Queen's Watchdog,” as he handles the many disturbing events that occur during Victorian England for Her Majesty. With the help of Sebastian Michaelis, his loyal butler with seemingly inhuman abilities, Ciel uses any means necessary to get the job done. But is there more to this black-clad butler than meets the eye?

In Ciel's past lies a tragedy that enveloped him in perennial darkness: during one of his darkest moments, he formed a contract with Sebastian, a demon, trading his soul in exchange for revenge on those who threatened him. Now, Sebastian is not only a great butler, but he is also the perfect servant to carry out his master's orders, while he waits patiently for the delicious meal that he will eventually prepare with Ciel's soul.
