I’ve never been as addicted to a single anime character as I am with Sebastian Michaelis and after months of anticipation and agony of waiting for the new season of Kurishitsuji, I was finally rewarded. I was heartbroken when I saw the last scene of the first series with Ciel dying and all but it was actually heart-wrenching to read about Sebastian being replaced by a new butler – Claude Faustus and Ciel by a brat called Alois Trancy. All of those months of anticipation, with only the monthly release of the manga at least keeping me company and of course my lovely Sebastian Taeyang doll always staring at me is enough to break the heart of a hapless fangirl/yaoi fan.
I downloaded the first episode of Kuroshitsuji last night and was sort of devastated during the first few minutes watching the despicable Alois Trancy, he is everything that Ciel is not – A Cruel Sissy. Although, Claude does have his redeeming qualities, I especially love his sexy dance but he’s never going to be the Black Butler. Imagine my surprise when an ominous stranger with his face covered and carrying a large suitcase knocked on the Trancy mansion. I knew from the first time I saw him that he’s my Black Butler, imagine a fangirl’s scream when his face was finally uncovered. He was retrieving Ciel’s ring hidden in a can of New Moon’s Drop which has the power to bring Ciel back to life. And of course, with Sebastian protecting the suitcase to the point of actually making his own body as a shield is enough proof that something precious is hidden inside. And who else is more precious to him than his life – his bocha – Ciel Phantomhive.
Ciel is so cute and helpless all curled up inside that suitcase, I can’t wait for the second part! In celebration of Sebastian and Ciel’s rebirth, I changed my wallpaper -was dominated by Kaname and Zero of Vampire Knight fame before. The wallpaper is available for download for anybody who wants it, just click on the thumbnail. Its one size only, but you can resize it to fit your desktop, size is 1920×1080.
