Book Cover

Following the revelation in Black Butler, Vol. 27 that Ciel Phanthomhive had indeed survived his sacrifice and that the current Earl was in fact his younger twin brother, Sebastian, the devil of a butler, wonders how Ciel could have made it through that harrowing experience. The Undertaker makes an appearance, and discloses that he was the one behind Ciel's miraculous recovery. The Blue Star of Sirius, the plot from the Music Hall, the undead uprising on the ship liner Campania, and the missing at the private school, all of these events were connected to Ciel, who with the Undertaker's help was pulling the strings behind the scene.

Just then, two Grim Reapers join the chaotic scene, and attempt to arrest the Undertaker, a former Grim Reaper himself. The situation is further upended when Scotland Yard moves in. With the evidence against him, Phanthomhive the younger is arrested, along with his butler, and are taken away by paddy wagon. Sebastian engineers an escape, and Phantomhive is reunited with his trusted servants. Meanwhile, the real Ciel Phanthomhive claims the manor as his own, and begins to plan his return to normal life.

Now on the run, can Phanthomhive regain his title, with the help of his butler?
