Black Butler, Vol. 21

Toboso, Yana. Black Butler, Vol. 21. 2015. 176p. ISBN 9780316352093. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.


Having discovered in Black Butler, Vol. 20 that the Emerald Witch had brewed a deadly poison, Ciel Phantomhive and his crew find themselves faced with a deadly choice. They must either kill Lady Sullivan, or recruit her and escape the forest so that an elixir can be created to combat the effects of the mustard gas. Ciel offers her the choice, and Lady Sullivan accepts to help them. Phantomhive orders Sebastian to destroy any and all evidence of the gas, but save a sample for further studying, and the devil of a butler is too happy to oblige.

Lady Sullivan's bodyguard, Wolf, however, is actively seeking to free his lady. A secret unit of female special forces is activated, and they fan out in the forest, looking for Lady Sullivan. Wolf joins them. Phantomhive and his crew split in two, hoping to lure away most of the guards with Ciel disguised as Lady Sullivan. The Germans are right on their tail, however, and their only hope lie in locating the train that will take them to safety.

The Germans will not allow Lady Sullivan to escape, however, so they will reveal a secret weapon so deadly only a butler could defeat it ...

The story continues in Black Butler, Vol. 22.
