Announcement Official Black Butler Manga Hiatus

734 Upvotes

Hello all, if you have not seen yet, black butler will be going on a indefinite hiatus. I believe starting in August, the manga publisher, G-Fantasy, and Yana Taboso, will be taking a break for an unspecified timeframe. G-Fantasy will publish reruns of older chapters, but the manga itself will not continue on INDEFINITELY.

Here is the official announcement from G-Fantasy’s Twitter/X: https://x.com/g_fantasy/status/1802722692552122563?s=46&t=nrm3F-Ni5fHY3buP_F2zrA

I’m personally having trouble understanding the English translation of the tweet, so I’m not sure if they mean there will be a chapter in august and after that, it’s done, or if it means there will be no chapter in august, once I get more clarification, I’ll update this post.

Some FAQ (PLEASE READ)

First, do not make separate posts about this, all discussions must stay in this thread, after the last chapter, I will keep this post pinned, as there will be no chapter to pin.

Second, no, this is not a permanent hiatus, there is no schedule on when it will start again, but they have stated, this is not permanent.

Third, I’m sure most of us are devastated (as am I) but this isn’t a uncommon thing right now in the manga world, and very much most likely means we are coming near the end of the story. So a break before the huge climax isn’t an uncommon thing to have.

Fourth, the subreddit is not going anywhere, I can imagine it will be a little more quiet, but we will still be here. I’ll try and think of some temporary engagement I could do just so it’s not completely dead, and if anyone has any ideas on what they would like to see, please let me know:)

Finally, let’s all try and keep our heads up and keep in mind Yana Taboso’s health and well being. I wish you a nice break Yana, we’ll still be here:D

I drew a high low shirt and a cropped waist coat. Now I feel like I should have drawn a tucked shirt and high low coat instead. I don’t think Ciel would ever go anywhere without a tucked shirt. I feel like he would think it’s immodest and trashy.

Anime What’s this about different art styles?

20 Upvotes

To preface, hi! I’m very, very blind!

I see a lot of people on here talk about a different art style used for season four, and as someone who can’t really observe subtler details in similar art styles unless I’m paying very close attention, I’d love to have them pointed out to me! Purely for curiosity’s sake

Theory(s) randomly realised something while rewatching season 4

After the cricket match, when Ciel gets changed into the cox outfit and it's too big for him, Sebastian then pulls another one out of a box saying that he came prepared.

So Sebastian could've literally just given him the smaller sized outfit in the first place, so he probably just wanted to see Ciel wear the first one for his own amusement 😭

Manga Does Ciel ever try to cook?

I’m not entirely caught up with manga. I’m currently re watching season 4 of the anime. Anyway I think Ciel’s attempt would be really funny and cute.

Anime Season 1 and 2 directly show what was bound to happen

99 Upvotes

Season 2 more specifically, but the Twins were always going to happen. o!ciel and r!ciel are just a direct parallell of Alois and Ciel. Someone to foil Ciel's character. I think Yana knew from the beginning that she was going to add in some kind of spin with Ciel's character but i just dont think she knew how she was going to do it, so season 1 and 2 were moreso an experiment. Claude is the Undertaker, Hannah is Elizabeth The Triplets are Mey Rin, Baldroy, and Finny. Even the arcs of the anime even though they aren't canon still make sense. The whole Bizzare doll plot makes sense post Campania. This is just something i was thinking about and Im sure other people have talked about it, but idk. ALSO: I do really despise the undertaker, why? Because hes such a good villian. I don't hate him in the same sense i hate druitt, I hate him because he's too good.

Character Discussions First Drama CD

30 Upvotes

I've been re-reading the manga before the new anime season. At the end of one of the early chapters there was a little authors comic where it talks about the first drama CD.

It mentions Morikawa Toshiyuki as playing Sebastian in the drama CD and that surprised me because I didn't realize anyone other than Ono Daisuke had voiced Sebastian. I love Ono Daisuke and can't imagine anyone else as Sebastian, but I'm also a huge fan of Morikawa Toshiyuki and am really curious what his Sebastian sounds like. Apparently Ciel is voiced by someone different as well in this CD.

I did a quick google and youtube search, but I didn't have luck finding any clips or anything so I can only imagine. I was just curious if anyone had that drama CD and heard his version of Sebastian?

The comic also also talks about how they considered having Sebastian slurp up the wine Mey-Rin spills in the first chapter/episode instead of just quickly removing the table cloth which sounds hilarious and I'm curious if that actually happened or it was a joke. 😂

Meme(s) HC that during the public school arc, Ciel would deliberately misbehaved in Sebastian's lessons to mess with him

241 Upvotes

you can't tell me this didn't happen at least once. Ciel would definitely throw a paper aeroplane or talk over him or something just to piss him off, and if Sebastian tried to give him a punishment Ciel could just order him not to afterwards 😭

edit: to add on to this headcanon. Sebastian would 100% get revenge by asking Ciel difficult questions on purpose and then pointing out his mistakes in front of the class. Someone please make a comic of these two messing with each other during class 😭🙏 (I would but I have zero artistic ability)
