Hello everyone. Information on the spring anime is starting to roll out! It's about time to start preparing so we can enjoy the spring anime from episode one. I'm Boss from Otaku Republic.

Hello everyone~! It seems like there are quite a few sequels among the spring anime starting in April. I think it's a great idea to do a quick review of the stories so far and prepare for the upcoming episodes! I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

So, this time! We'll be doing a review and preview of the 6th adaptation of this series! There was also a movie version, so I'd like to quickly review the story as well!

【Black Butler】Starts broadcasting as a spring 2024 anime! What's the story of the episode “Boarding School Arc” being aired this time?

What's the “conspiracy” swirling around the boarding school?
Infiltrate Weston College, one of Britain's most prestigious boarding schools, where people are going missing!

Black Butler has stories in both the manga and movies, so it's worrisome where to start reading. From which volume of the manga does the Boarding School Arc being animated this time come from?

The Boarding School Arc covers volumes 14 to 18 of the manga, a total of four volumes. Since the manga has been released up to volume 33 so far, it feels like the story just before the halfway mark!

Butler Sebastian infiltrates as a teacher, and his master Ciel as a student!
To gain an opportunity to contact the headmaster, who seems most involved in the students' disappearances, they decide to participate in and win the cricket tournament held at the school!

Well, naturally, if people are going missing at a school, you'd suspect someone related to the school, right?

That's right. Moreover, this school is divided into four dormitories, each managed by a dormitory head. Since the principal generally only meets with these four dormitory heads, Ciel first participates in a cricket tournament to establish connections with them...... it seems.

I wonder what secrets are there?

Hehe, it's exciting! One of the good things about Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) is that with each new episode, the setting and characters are completely refreshed, so it's easy to understand even if you haven't followed the episodes closely so far! So, please make sure to check out the 6th adaptation, or what would be the 4th season in anime terms, of Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) starting in April!
