Black Butler XIV

 
Black Butler XIV is in five parts, like most of the other volumes preceding it. The first part and the second part are continuing the flashback to when Ciel and Sebastian first started working together. They have a few problems than such as Sebastian not knowing what human food tastes like. His cooking therefore is subpar. The third part continues the zombie arc which I'm not a big fan of because I don't really like zombies and zombie stories. The fourth part is a one off story about an Easter egg hunt, and the fifth part begins a new arc where Ciel and Sebastian investigate disappearances at a public school.

While some of the volumes of Black Butler are more suited to tankoban format, The format doesn't work as well in this volume which confuses four different arcs two of which are partially connected. That being said this is a good volume because the arc at the beginning of the volume is one of my favorites. Further, I somewhat enjoyed the Easter arc and I'm excited about the new arc that starts in this volume.
