Familiar Diversions
I'm a librarian who loves anime, manga, and reading a wide variety of genres.
Currently reading
Black Butler (vol. 16) by Yana Toboso, translated by Tomo Kimura
Ciel continues to try to find Derrick and the other students that were supposedly transferred from Red to Purple House, going so far as to start a fire at Purple House. However,
(show spoiler)This volume's bonus: Black Quiz (basically, a Slumdog Millionaire/Black Butler crossover).
I do not understand cricket. And not even Toboso's diagrams were able to help me. But I did enjoy Toboso's attempts to capture the drama of sports manga in her cricket segments.
This arc has definitely snagged my interest. So far, it seems as though Derrick and the others may have been used for something nefarious.
One thing I loved about this volume was the flashback to Ciel's father, who used to be the prefect of Blue House. He looked like what I imagine Ciel will look like if he manages to live long enough to make it past puberty, and I'm sure he was just as devious as Ciel now is, considering that he used his cricket win to make Diederich his slave.
