Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) Watch Order Guide

Black Butler is one of the most popular shonen franchises among the female demographic. The story of the series is a bit of a mess rife with inconsistent thematics and confusing connotations. However, the fans can’t get enough of the series because of the pair of handsome butler and cute master. But the butler is not all look. He can slip in and out of a room without anyone noticing. All this helps when the butler kills with knives and forks and can disengage his master from any sticky situation.

The series has lots of filler with story firmly faithful through volume 5 and a few anime that has completely strayed from the manga source material. However, it didn’t affect the overall story of Black Butler. It kept the viewer engaged with a mix of mystery, comedy, action, and a significant amount of complex characters. There are several anime seasons and a theatrical movie of the series.
