To what extent must a housekeeper do things to be acceptable?

One of the noble families of England: Phantomhive's butler: Sebastian Michaels has got unquestionably perfect knowledge, manners, talent with materials, martial arts, et cetera: but is also able to serve a 12 year old master.
Wearing a grey tailcoat, gracefully brewing the worlds strongest red tea, please read on to see how such a perfect butler copes with such a master...

Mangaka: Toboso Yana

Genre: Shounen, Comedy, Fantasy

Me as well, though I have no idea how its gonna be with only 4 vols out right now but SEBASTIAN!!!

Ah...gonna have nice icons come Fall

Chaos2Frozen · 2008-07-08, 22:49

Woah, and I've just started the manga

I have to say Sebastian's personality caught me by surprise, I was expecting him to show only one dimension, but the man can be hilarious with his expression and monologue as well...

I tried to read the manga, but was instantly turned off by that annoying little kid :\. Hopefully they'll make him less annoying than I thought of him in the manga(though I doubt it >.>).

Satsuki Yuuhi Ramius · 2008-07-11, 21:24

Yata! Finally Adapted to Anime!

A-1 Pictures did a fantastic job with Ookiku Furikabutte as their debut, and are doing Birdy right now, Persona last season. I'm happy with them. I'm kind of surprised this is getting animated already. Awesome.

Westlo · 2008-07-12, 12:50

So A-1 are doing this and Kannagi during the fall season than.. hmm.. anyway I read the first chapter and this does have some potential, looking forward to this.

Zaseka · 2008-07-13, 09:24

The manga covers look great, but what is really about aside from the butler-master thingy

The description sounds kinda shota

Its not shota (though Ive seen some interesting fanfiction

) But the description is what is it is, anything else would be a spoiler

Ahh good to hear A-1 has done some anime Ive heard of.

Cats · 2008-07-13, 11:53

Best news I've heard all week.

I love the action in the manga, hope they do a decent job with it. I want blood!
All the charcters are complete win too. I wonder if they'll give Sebastian a veil of darkness and coolness.

...hopefully it won't get the standard treatment off all the other overdramatizesed butler shows. T__T

Who's producing it? are they any good...

Ayumi08 · 2008-07-16, 00:19

I love the manga and I hope the anime version will turn out to be just as good.

kira-sama · 2008-07-18, 05:40

cyth · 2008-07-26, 07:14
