In accordance with the wishes of Queen Victoria, young Earl Ciel Phantomhive embarks on a jaunt to Germany with his elite butler, Sebastian, in tow. Gruesome and mysterious deaths are occurring on the continent, and along with the fear of contagion that permeates the air there are also rumors of witches and werewolves running amok. When Ciel's party heads right into the heart of a cursed forest where supernatural creatures are said to dwell, they run straight into a witch! In fact, several of them! And the village head is none other than a little girl who appears as though she's stepped out of a fairy tale?!

In the heart of London
stands Sphere Music Hall, a venue that enjoys immense popularity amongst
the populace. However, the fervour with which its visitors return
causes consternation in the mind of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, who
suspects the organisation of cult practices and sends Earl Ciel
Phantomhive and his impeccable butler, Sebastian, to infiltrate the
hall. They are met with none other than the disgraced erstwhile prefects
of Weston College and an otherworldly fortuneteller called Blavat, who
takes one look at Sebastian and divines his true nature without
faltering...!
I really enjoyed the German forest/werewolf ARC, and from the looks of it, this new Music Hall arc is going to be just as good. This series really goes from strength to strength. Can't wait to see how it will all end.
