In the outskirts of Victorian era London stands a manor house where butler and bodyguard Sebastian Michaelis serves Ciel , an orphaned twelve-year-old head of the English noble Phantomhive family, with its Funtom toy and candy empire. The Phantomhive family also serves the Queen of England as a secret watchdog taskforce that deals with the state’s enemies when necessary…
With unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, and talents, Sebastian is also exceptionally skilled at martial arts, and handles everything with absolute poise and perfection. Not only is he able to carry out any task asked of by his master impeccably, Sebastian is even able to deal with greater problems plaguing England, at the Queen’s request.
In fact, Sebastian is so amazing he does not seem human at all… and he is not. It turns out that Ciel’s parents were murdered when he was younger, and in seeking vengeance, Ciel made a pact with demon butler Sebastian who can and will do anything for him - in exchange for his soul.
