On the official site for the anime adaptation of the manga
written and illustrated by Yana Toboso , “ Black Butler ( Kuroshitsuji )”,
a new promotional video for the fourth season of the project was revealed. This
new season, titled “ Black Butler: Public School Edition ( Kuroshitsuji:
Kishuku Gakkou-hen )”, is now scheduled to premiere on April
13 in Japan.
It should be noted that the original arc covers a total
of four volumes of the manga, so a new season of at least more than twelve
episodes is expected. On the other hand, the story of this new season
then begins when Queen Victoria asks Ciel Phantomhive to investigate the whereabouts
of Derrick Arden and other students who refuse to return home from Weston
College.
On the other hand, Toboso began publishing the manga
in Square Enix 's Monthly
G Fantasy magazine in September 2006. The work inspired an anime adaptation of
twenty-five episodes produced by A-1 Pictures studios ,
under the direction of Toshiya . Shinohara and scripts
written by Mari Okada , released in October 2008. Later, more
seasons, OVAs and animated feature films were produced.
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.
