"Black Butler Vol. 1" by Yana Toboso

Wow, that was dumb. Sure, the main story of the demon butler and his young master is interesting and sometimes downright chilling, unfortunately it's buried under so much sheer stupidity that it's like digging for diamonds in a pile of manure. A good half of the book depicts the antics of the Phantomhive staff, alas they're grating not funny and there's just too much of it. Honestly, I don't get why everybody and their uncle is so excited about this manga. I won't be reading/buying more, thank you very much.
