Synopsis
When last we saw dear Sebastian, he was poised to feast on the ripened soul of his young
master. Unfortunately for the debonair demon, there’s a new butler in town…
Enter Claude Faustus, a malevolent manservant uninspired by the drab flavor of his own
contracted master, Alois Trancy. This pedestrian lad holds no allure for Claude, so the
bespectacled butler sets his sights on a finer delicacy from the menu of the damned. None other
than Ciel Phantomhive. And so begins a devilish dance of death starring crow and spider. The
demonic duel rages beyond the limits of good taste, culminating in a debaucherous maze of
madness pitting butler against butler. Sebastian and Claude: two ravenous rakehells filled with
the power of darkness and locked in a macabre battle for the soiled soul of the young master
they so long to savor/devour.

Meanwhile, an organization known as the Science Society resurrects an esper-producing

of Academy City.
