Review of Black Butler: Book of Circus

I didn't find this to be one of the "typical" Kuroshitsuji stories, the "Boy with demon hunts down England's bad men in the name of the Queen" kind of story. Still, I liked it. Maybe I liked it for that difference, maybe out of nostalgia. Maybe a mix of both. I do love Sebastian, Ciel, the crazy Phantomhive servants, the general wit of Kuroshitsuji, and the darkness around it all, Book of Circus had that, so I found it enjoyable. And yet, this arc had a different feeling to it. All in all, it was such a desolate story. What happens doesn't leave you witha "serves them right" or "yay you go Ciel" kind of feeling, as some of the other stories might have done.

It's dark, it's dirty. It's sad, it's unjust. It's human nature.
And maybe that's one more point for why I liked it.
